This hotel was a pleasant surprise. The hotel is going through an upgrade to a Crowne Plaza, according to the staff. It is a smaller, 6-floor, traditional London hotel building. The room was recently renovated, decently sized, and comfortable. The staff was EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. The lobby area and bar are nice, and it's worth it to include breakfast... more

Was planning to stay nearby but booking was messed up by Best Western so got last available room on garden side of hotel at 10 at night. Room was newly furnished, comfortable, and only drawbacks were that the windows were shaded out to avoid rooftop view of air conditioning units, and the room was beside the service elevator which meant... more

Stayed at the Holiday Inn, Kensington recently and for the size of the place it was great. The rooms were recently decorated with great facilities. The room itself was a little too hot with the air con not up to scratch and I couldn't open the windows. Wireless internet would have been useful. Overall, great stay. more

"For the size of the place it was great" - we love to think of ourselves as cute and perfectly formed. Remember this Yuletide season that the best gifts come in small packages! Wireless internet is available throughout the building and is absolutely free of charge (except perhaps for the bribe of a Krispy Creme doughnut please).

I had booked my one nights stay at the Holiday Inn Kensington in London for a business trip. Being a member of the Holiday Inn Priority Club and generally liking Holiday Inn hotels, I was disappointed. I checked in without issue. The room was OK but far too hot. I wasn't able to open the window which was firmly locked... more

We've all gone a little bit cold after reading this report. There's a name for this kind of experience used in customer care terms - "spiral" - where one thing leads to another in a downwards trend - and we must not have made a great impression if this reviewer signed up to Tripadvisor so soon after staying with us....

First actual mention of our new "Club" bedrooms! We can't call them "Club" just now as we are not yet Crowne Plaza Kensington, so at the moment they are "Executive" bedrooms. There a bit posh aren't they? They become "Club" bedrooms in Spring next year when we will offer a "Club Lounge" to accompany them - you know the sort...

This hotel has to have one of the best locations just outside of the centre of London. Tube and bus connections are on the doorstep to every part of the capitol. Within walking distance is Hyde Park, the Natural History & Science Museums, the Royal Albert Hall, great shopping in Kensington High Street and numerous restaurants from the big chains... more

We like you very much - the guys and gals have been blushing with such compliments! - Thank you, no; thank you with big shiny bells on! We look forward to welcoming back all of our guests, especially folk that say gorg-fabo-tastic words about us. Oooh, we're off to get an ego massaged (just don't tell the boss)

We stayed here last Christmas and we were very happy with our stay. The hotel is nice and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was great as it was very close to the tube and walking distance to museums, parks and shopping. We didn't eat at the hotel at all, however we had drinks in the bar and... more

Isn't it smashing when people remember their stay from nearly a year ago? It's given us all a great big contented smile in the hotel (and the General Manager went out and bought a box of chocolates to hand round...so we're all putting on weight and breaking out in spots...) The noise from boogy-woogy party fun is no more -...

I thought I'd give this hotel a try, but there are problems. Let's start with the good stuff - Staff - pleasant, friendly - so many hotels underestimate what a difference this makes. - New rooms. Modern, well furnished, good shower, much nicer decor. Now the problems: - Be aware that the place is under renovation. If you are arriving... more

Well, we have promised ourselves that we would respond to all feedback, good and not so good (“not so good” is hotel-speak for bad). It’s lovely to hear about our staff – they really are the lifeblood of our property and we know they can make or break a stay in a hotel. It’s so very difficult saying “no” to...

This was my my third stay at this hotel. The previous occasions were with the family on half term holiday (Oct 2006 and Oct 2007) and paid for using Priority Club points. It's one of the few large hotels I found in central London that does family rooms. For the first stay we had a room facing the garden and... more

Cracking feedback, thank you. This is what we love to hear – honest pointers on where we can do better (and where we do well of course!). Glad to hear the beds were comfortable, some of the management had to spend ages lying on sample mattresses to find the right ones...oh the hardship. All bed stock in the newly refurbished...
