Kensington Stay

What I liked: the shower, the aircon, the neighbourhood, how close it is to the metro. On the other hand, the kitchen furniture is a bit run down, the utensils and glasses were not properly cleaned, the room is quite small. I believe it is still good value for the money.

Room on the first floor was cleaned and also well protected by environmental sound. I could hear people coming and go in the propoerty but not much cars and train from the station. Ideal for small stay since the unit is small, perfect for 1, a bit too crowded for 2!

Low hanging ceiling lights, fixtures. And cabinets made this place a pain for anyone over 6ft.

Tube

The microwave could not be used because it was burnt soot black inside. I was unable to use the kitchenette. We had to resort to dining out for all our meals which added to our expenses.

The room was perfect for our needs there were some kitchen appliances and also a lift in the building. The host was great at communicating and the building is in a great location there was a bus stop right outside and earls court underground station only a few minutes walk away. We would stay again if we are in the area again :)

Cleanliness of the room was extremely bad - Food on the cupboards, dirty plates, hairs/stains in the bathroom & hairs/stains in the bed. Leftover lasagne in the freezer. No forks to eat with. When you walk up the stairs there is 3 different patches of paint on the wall, like they have trialed some paints out! Even with my ear plugs it was still quite loud. You have to pay a cleaning fee on top .. to warrant a cleaning fee id prefer it to be clean when i get into the room, not me going in and cleaning!

Firstly, the location was excellent. A few minutes away from the Tube (Earl's Court) and a bus stop right outside that took me exactly where I needed to go. Also less than 10 minutes walk from a big Tesco. The room has plenty of storage despite it's size, and had all the amenities I needed. The room could have been cleaner though. The shower head was very rusty, which was rather off-putting and also meant water didn't come out properly. The bathroom had a bit of an odd smell. The location was also a bit of a downside, as I was on the 2nd floor and there was a lot of traffic noise. If you are a light sleeper (which fortunately I'm not) you might struggle to get a good nights sleep. I was visiting London for work and on a bit of a budget, so the hotel did exactly what I wanted and felt it was worth the money.

Great location, room was great for the price! So much in the room (kettle, sink, tv etc) and the bed was so comfy. Would definitely stay here again

Great location only 2mins from back of Earl’s Court tube. 6 mins to huge Tesco. Microwave and hob plus fridge and utensils. Clean and tidy and perfect for a short stay.

The hotel is located in an ideal location with many great restaurants, including a Micheline star restaurant, within a 15min walk. Safe part of London in the heart of residential Kensington. The Earl's Court subway station is right across the street with direct lines to downtown London on the District line or to Heathrow airport on the Picadilly line. Room and bathroom is fairly modern. FYI though that the room is very small. For North Americans be prepared for it to be 1/3 the size of a Best Western. There is 1 person width from the bed to the walls on all 3 sides. The bathroom is 3' x 9'. Welcome to London. But for the price point it is still good value for money.

The room itself was great for what we needed. Close to the tube station and a large tesco was only a 10 min walk away. Area felt safe to walk around. Kitchen was basic and lacked basic cooking utensils so we had to live of microwave meals. Bathroom was modern but had a terrible smell of drains with no ventilation. Bed was ok apart from the pillows were extremely hard and uncomfortable. If your looking for a basic studio, close to transport links and reasonably priced then this will do the job.

The stay was okay, we felt it looked bigger in photos, but it’s quite compact and only single glazed windows.

Stay was fine. Room was clean, bathroom exceptional. Ideal for a one night stop over. Two minutes walk from tube station.Easy to speak to someone on the phone when needed. A little noise but still slept.

Good location, close to pubs, reataurants, shops, and tube.. excellent communication to the Center.

Kitchen was poorly equipped. Only provided with 1 saucepan to cook with. No cutting knives or any other kitchen utensils provided, besides dining cutlery. We were staying for quite some time and had plans to cook some food, but the limited supplies made it hard to. Also there’s some mold around the side of the kitchen sink too.

Extremely handy to transport options in Earls Court, the rooms are well appointed with lots of storage options. There is a virtual front desk, but any requests are responded to in a timely manner.

We stayed at the Kensington Stay for 3 nights and overall it was a lovely stay. Amenities were good, the accommodation itself is a couple of minuite walk from the tube stop which is really handy and it felt very safe! Only thing to note is that we had a ground floor room and the traffic outside was pretty loud so I'd recommend bringing earplugs with you if you're a light sleeper!

Nice little efficiency very close to Earl’s Court tube station. My room was much smaller than the photos. Although it had a small stove, desk, refrigerator and closet, if there were more than one person in this room it would be too small no space to get in on one side of the bed. Perfect for one.

It had everything me and my teenage daughter needed. It was nice to ne able to store drinks and food and have the chance to make food also. Staff was super nice 👌
