I stayed at this hotel at the recommendation of Small & Elegant hotels. The hotel is small, but the rooms were far from elegant. The room furnishings are in desperate need of a refurb. However, to be fair, for the price, I guess it's all you can expect. But the bottom line is that this is NOT a business oriented... more

Stylish and well located hotel within short distance of Gloucester Rd underground station, and close to shops, restaurants & bars. Good image and facilities including restaurant, hotel bar and library lounge. Staff quick and efficient and very helpful and friendly. Disappointments were the lift which took ages and the room which was tired and in need of a makeover. Problem... more

Perfect location for the Royal Albert Hall, there are several local restauarants, supermarkets nearby. Service was good but if I'm honest I did expect more from the room. It wasn't spotlessly clean but given the good value of the hotel (£85 per double room per night) it didn't spoil my stay. There was quite a lot of traffic noise through... more

Spent 2 nights at this hotel - paid to have an executive room and wish we hadnt bothered ! The room was a reasonabke size but was right above the bar. This meant that we could hardly hear our TV until gone 11.00 at night as the TV in the bar was so loud. We asked for it to be... more

What a negative experience this hotel was. Knowing that we were to arrive in London at about 6.00 AM after a 24 hour flight from Australia, we took the precaution weeks before our arrival of booking and paying for a room to be available for us from the moment we arrived at the hotel (at about 7.00 AM). We did... more

The hotel has a pleasant reception area but the rooms were appalling. They were so small there was barely room to turn around. The rooms we were shown (and that was quite a few!) all had mold and mildew and many of them smelt of damp. Some had signs of dampness in the walls and ceilings. When we pointed this... more

Loved my 6 night stay at the Rydges Kensington Plaza!! Very clean and well kept hotel, rooms were good size with updated and large bathrooms. Cleaning service for hotel was perfect, room was made up and cleaned daily. Best part about hotel though, its amazing location. Gloucester Road tube station is a one minute walk away. Food shops all around... more

The staff in this hotel are really friendly and it is extremely well located to most things. Kensington palace is just up the road as is Harrods and the under ground is only minutes away. The major downside for this hotel is that the rooms are dated and a little shabbey and breakfast service is slow. However we would stay... more

We booked 3 double rooms as part of a theatre break weekend with my parents and some friends. We arrived early on the Saturday morning not expecting to be able to check in but we were pleasantly surprised that not only were our rooms ready but we had been upgraded to the executive floor. Our rooms were lovely, high ceilings,... more

This is our 7th hotel in a 2 month visit to Europe and I have decided to review each one in a in a standard way as suggested by Tripadviser. We stayed here for 4 nights. 1: Describe the service you experienced. The check was a bit odd as we flew into Heathrow on an early flight from Munich so... more
