Kensington Stay

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 👌

Fantastic price on Expedia. Great concept, lovely studio, air con a huge bonus as it was very humid outside. Very close to Earls Court station with some convenience stores close by. Would book again.

I stayed a week in a double room. I had a great stay here, my room was very quiet (room 15) as it was at the back of the property. Having cooking facilities was a bonus. The room was clean and well maintained. It was small but eas cleverly designed with lots of storage space and the shower was a good size unlike lots of small rooms in London I have stayed in before. The only things that I think could be improved would be a mattress topper for the bed as it was very hard uncomfortable and I could feel the springs, not good for my back. Also the blinds are not block out but I had already read about this and had my eye mask so this wasn't an issue for me. A tea towel would also be handy but again I had read about the lack of a tea towel and bought my own. Fairly easy things to fix to make this hotel a really comfortable stay. There was also a lift, which is now working and access to a laundry room another bonus. Very convenient to supermarkerts and across the road from Earls Court Station which is a direct line to and from Heathrow airport. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Perfect for a couple of nights as quiet and fridge makes it easy to self cater. Website and owners need to update/ clearly mark address and provide directions from tube. We had 28-30 as door number but actual number was 1, so we walked right past as lots of people where in the way hiding tiny sign with building name. Also make it clear to use tube exit for Warwick Road/olympia buses NOT main exit. Room was great, plenty of space and water pressure in bathroom excellent. Appreciated UHT milk, tea and bottled water.

Great little base for exploring London or going to shows as we were. Positives, the room was clean, plenty of storage and had everything you need for a couple of nights including AC. Negatives, they could invest in some better blinds as they block out no light, lift was broken and we were on the top floor, fridge door doesn't shut properly so took ages to get cold. And there was a terrible smell coming from somewhere in the bathroom plus the extractor didn't work so smelt pretty bad all weekend in there. Think we were in room 9

Need to have a guide to some of the things about the room e.g. the air conditioner turns off if window open, light in bathroom turns off when the door closes. I arrived very early and had trouble finding somewhere to leave luggage. Having said that, the room was good and I would recommend it for the budget traveller. Very close to the Underground.

Nice rom as usual but the tv never worked which was very disappointing

I am definitely going to book this place again. We went to a concert in Hyde Park and this was perfect for a one night stay. Great location, great value. Right opposite the tube station and within reach of poplar takeaways. Clean, tidy and safe. Bit noisy at night with ambulances passing but the air-con was top draw! 😊
