Heart of England Pet-friendly Vacations

Our family stay at Residence Inn by Marriot Kensington, London May 8-12, 2026 was a wonderful experience. The staff and service are Outstanding! attentive, professional, polite, helpful and truly service-oriented. Rooms & facilities are very good. The Tesco supermarket is 3 minutes walking distance - it's super convenient & perfect for groceries, desserts etc. Earls court underground station is a 10 minute walk. One of the best 'value for money' properties we've enjoyed in a long time. A very special appreciation for Manager, Laust Anderson and hotel staff Joseph for making our stay truly memorable as well as to front desk staff Saif, Matin and Bianca. Looking forward to staying at this property again when visiting London.

Really warm greeting from the stsff as soon as we stepped into the hotel. Quick & efficient check-in. The room was cleaned to a very high standard. Plenty of choice at breakfast - everything from a full english cooked breakfast to a continental one. My only complaint was that there was no restaurant on site, only a cafe for snacks. Overall a great stsy & would definitely revommend.

Excellent place to stay

Beautiful, elegant, and perfectly situated for a London getaway. The room was cozy and decor was upscale. Bathroom great

Great area and friendly staff. Wish they had a workout area so that's why I rated the amenities low

We were wanting a secure car parking space and a five star hotel. Everything including a magnificent food from the restaurant was we en pointe Good choice for an Anglo-Asian choice

The hotel is situated in a quiet, convenient area, near Buckingham Palace. Very close to Victoria Apollo, where we went to see wicked. It has a unique history, being the place that housed Queen Victoria’s servants. As a history fan, it is incredible to think that my room used to belong to one of these servants. The ground floor, which used to be the shops, now houses the marble foyer and some exquisite restaurants and bars. They really make the most of the history- the bar ( which we visited several times) had a large painting of the charge of the light brigade. The English grill, where we were lucky enough to have breakfast, was tastefully decorated in blue ( not unlike Queen Victoria’s railway carriage ) and festooned ( like the rest of the hotel) with exquisite Murano chandeliers. We didn’t visit the Indian restaurant but we went to have a look. It looked delightful and cosy. The menu choice is not massive but judging by the onion bhajis I ate in the bar ) (Outstanding) I may give it a try next time. The entry level room was not massive but decorated with a beautiful Victorian picture. There was also a delightful antique desk where I could imagine myself penning my next Brontë novel. I was worried about slipping in the shower but some thoughtful person had placed a bath mat there. The piece de resistance was the room where you have afternoon tea. The staff were amazing, polished and they couldn’t do enough for us. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in London.
