The hotel and room were nice but my view was the back of another building. That i could live with but i was so cold, because the heating would either not come on and/or stay on. I had to keep phoning reception for them to turn my heating up/on. After the third time i was just annoyed given this is a 5 star hotel and i paid the advertised rate to be there for a number of days.
Apart from the heating issue things were fine. The staff were friendly and professional but i will be staying at the Hyatt Regency Churchill hotel when i return to London in 6 weeks time.

SW7 (South West London) is one of the best Post Codes in the entire city and country, lovely buildings / restaurants and plenty of historic sites to see so you expect the hotel to be on a par with it’s surroundings and for some parts it was: restaurant/ bar/ lobby area - all really nice.
We’d stayed in the area on many occasions before but thought this time we would try The Kensington. Booked the std room - (which to be fair hadn’t done in any of the other previous hotel stays) but never checked the room square footage (or meterage as it was). The bathroom ( no joking) was less than 4sq metres - maybe closer to 3- probably the smallest bathroom I have ever had anywhere in the world. From the centre- I could literally touch any of the 4 walls without moving from my spot. I could touch the left side/ right / front and back all from the centre. The bedroom ( having moved from the first given room) was 13-15sqm, like a box and not value for money at £450/ night (in my mind). I didn’t particularly enjoy the stay but don’t get me wrong it is still a nice hotel. Special shout out to Lucian - very helpful. Checkin person in question- a little less so! Oh yes, don’t try and ask for a drink after 10:30pm (weekdays). Bar closes at this time.

The Kensington is my new favorite hotel! It couldn’t have been more perfect from the gorgeous exterior to the lovely interior space, exceptional staff - especially George the Concierge- and the roomy and nicely decorated rooms. Can’t wait to go back!!

Although my room did not have a great view, my stay at the Kingston was fantastic. The staff is incredible…and I mean everyone from house keeping to concierge. Super attentive and helpful.

The property is well located and the staff is what made it great. Diana at the bar was amazing and walked our cocktails to our room when checking in. She mentioned our room didn't look up to par and so they comped a round of drinks and helped us get upgraded the next day. Gabby at the front desk was amazing and she was so helpful when we ran into a mechanical issue and had the staff move our rooms

Overall nice property but food and specially staff at restaurant is not at all friendly or educated or well mannered!
First morning we went for breakfast at restaurant and there were hardly 3-4 people, i kept waiting for 15 minutes and 3-4 staff members passed by but not a single one greeted or gave menu or asked me for water.
I had to say excuse me to couple of waiters and after that 1 lady came and first thing she asked whats your room number.
3rd went for afternoon tea and i told about my religious restriction for beef and waiter just simply said we can give you one extra vege sandwich, i asked is it possible to make in chicken she said no we dont do extra requests.
Tea pot came luke warm and i asked for hot, waitress took another 10 minutes to change.
It seems either they are not paid well or general manager or manager is not training right.
Day staff at reception is also rude mannered but evening staff is great and welcoming.
Not much of food choices and food is mediocre!

Room was a joke - 108 - even the staff couldn’t believe that we were put in the smallest room in the hotel - like a dungeon - they moved us into a ‘better’ room. Paper thin walls let us hear the neighbor party until 1:45 am - we complained and the noise ended

My 7-year old and I spent 7 nights and we loved it. The area is safe and convenient with public transportation and plenty of restaurants around. The museums are a walk away. The staff was very friendly! We didn't see any other kids during our stay but we didnt mind it. My son loved the fish goujons from the kids menu at the hotel and we ordered it for room service on some days!
