"The location was fantastic - it was on a very quiet side street only a couple minutes walk from restaurants, the tube and a supermarket. The staff were friendly, and always willing and able to help. The room was basic, but had working air conditioning and a very convenient kitchen area, with an oven, microwave, and refrigerator, which all came in handy. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but everything else was great."

The Kensington Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"This is my third stay at the Kensington Hideaway Hotel and as always everything was delivered to perfection. Adrianna on reception is always so very customer focused, and service is always delivered with warmth and a smile. The room 107 for us was compact but included every amenity needed, we were there for two nights, the room was spotless and had ample natural light with a perfect view of the main high street. If you are looking to stay in / or around Kensington/Knightsbridge area try this hotel out."

Ember Locke Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"When traveling in London, it is not always easy to find a family room. We were able to get a room with 2 true twin beds for each our kids, in addition to an adult bed. We opted to purchase the breakfast option, and we were not disappointed. The breakfast was delicious and huge. A great way to fuel up for the day of exploring London. The hotel is just a few minutes walk from Earl's Court tube station, so very convenient to access all of London. I usually stay in more central London for work and was nervous that the hotel would be too far out to access my meetings easily, but that was not the case at all as it is on both the District and Piccadilly lines. The staff was lovely. Only thing to note is that they only service the room every 5 days, so if you have 2 boys like I do, you need to be mindful to keeping the room a bit tidy on your own. The staff will give you towels whenever you need them, however. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to any of my friends visiting London."

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely 1st class property and staff! From the messages you receive prior, to the check in process, to the warm welcome, the flexibility and positive attitude - I can’t fault anything! The area is lovely, very safe, great pub and Greek food on the door step. Padding station 15 mins walk away, gorgeous high street with thrift stores, beauticians and florists - I honestly was so sad to leave!! This place is a little treasure, and Dixie was so lovely and helpful! BIG shout out to her for making my stay extra special :) I am already planning my next visit and know exactly where I’ll be staying!!! The Henry Hotel!! Bravo! Ps AC is wicked, exactly what you need during summer in London!"
