Having to travel to London on my own for business, always a bit of a nightmare, and I've often just taken the easy route of travel lodging it ... thinking well it's only a bed after all.... WELL let me tell you ... THIS place is a real gem! There was nothing I could fault it on... the decor, the... More

Wonderful location very near Gloucester Road tube and the Kensington museums. The room and ensuite was very modern and comfortable with high quality fittings. It was smallish, but adequate. Service and breakfast good. The foyer and bar were welcoming and attractive - our only gripe was that the bar closed without warning at 11pm on a Saturday. We had a... More

While the rooms were new and filled with the latest equipment, the staff lacked common sense !. The doorman watched my daughter struggle with her suitcase up the stairs from the cab to reception. A great welcome. He was just useless on our departure equally unhelp. Point 2. The desk clerk booked/alloted my daughter and I into a single bed... More

I booked a Premier suite for my 2 daughters and I in November. As our flight was arriving early into London on the Monday morning I booked from the night before, so we could have immediate access to our room. I emailed the Reservation Manager, a week or so before we left Australia to ensure there were no hiccups upon... More

It can be so hard to find a good hotel in London, I am glad I found the Rydges. The hotel is a few hundred metres from the Gloucester Road tube station with service to the District, Circle and Piccadilly lines (great for Heathrow airport). I was there on business on my own, and while the room was small, (I... More

Spent a night here while on business and it was a very good place to touch down. Super comfortable bed, nice bathroom and toiletries! Service was of a good standard too - although I didn't have much occasion to test that beyond a smooth checkin process. Room would be a bit small if it was a holiday trip and you... More

I stayed at the Rydges Kensington London Hotel for 5 nights. Let's talk about the positives first:- 1. Fantastic, modern room with full suite of amenities. The room I stayed in the room was big by London standards and the bed was extremely comfortable. The room also had a dash of quirkiness with its interestingly named toiletries. 2. Outstanding housekeeping... More

The hotel is handily located just a minute or two from Gloucester Road tube station. It has recently been refurbished and is very nicely designed and pristine. The breakfast was very good indeed. Unfortunately I was allocated what must be the smallest (single) room I have ever stayed in. The single bed - which was extremely uncomfortable (a shame given... More

The size of the room I was assigned was smaller than much cheaper alternatives, the bed was extremely unfomfortable and sloped away from the wall so it was difficult to get level whilst trying to sleep. The shower room itself was little more than the size of a wardrobe with a small sink, no space for bathroom accessories and it... More
