We booked Kensington West through the Eurostar website, along with our train tickets from Brussels to London. We chose it for the price, and because we could get a quad room on short notice (we booked 3 days before we arrived). For a budget hotel, this is a good option. It's not necessarily near any places on the to-do list, but it is only a 5 minute walk to the West Kensington Tube station, with easy access to everywhere via Tube. The neighborhood seemed to be very working class, and the hotel was a few blocks from the nearest busy street. We did not feel uneasy about the location, but a woman on her own might not feel the same way. As with every hotel where we've stayed in London, there was conversation noise from outside until the early hours of the night. The hotel was clean and recently refurbished. The kids loved the fold-up bunk beds, which were ready made with clean linens. As with all London hotel rooms, this was small, but it was easier to move around in than our last quad room in London, and more smartly laid out. The minimalist wardrobe had no doors, so it was easy to stow our stuff without having to rearrange the room. The room is equipped with a good, flat screen tv for your BBC viewing pleasure, though it's really only visible from the double bed. On check-in, our room for 4 only contained 1 towel, but the front desk clerk took care of that reasonably quickly. They don't have keys to the linen closet after the cleaning staff leaves, so check that you have what you need as soon as you check in. The light fixtures were cracked from being screwed too tightly, and the bathroom shelf was missing, but the room was otherwise in good repair. I didn't see any air conditioning, but we don't visit London in the summer... There are free hot drinks in the lobby, but don't expect much from the add-on breakfast. It appeared to be yogurt and a granola bar. It was not really overpriced, just not quite what we wanted for breakfast. We simply purchased breakfast food from the grocery store and had that before heading out for the day. There weren't many places to eat nearby, but it was easy to find grub near the places we were visiting, so that did not bother us. Overall, we were happy with this hotel. For a place to sleep between forays into the city, it was very adequate, and we would consider it again.

I have read reviews from here and trip advisor. All had medium things to say. First this is not a hotel but a Bread and Breakfast. I attempted to check in at 1:30 and was told that checkin was at 2:30. There was noone in the hotel at all, they must have had rooms. Second, nothing worked at front desk, credit card mach., phone, internet, wireless etc. Third I was checked into a closet, seriously I have stayed in London many times before, this was a walk in closet; with a suitcase you had to step on the bed to get to bathroom. The door would not open fully from the bathroom as the bed is 6 inches away. I requested another room, after some serious grumbling I was sent to antoher room. Larger size, bathroom was ridiculous small. The toilet was in the shower, YES it is!!! The shower curtain had so much mold it was HARD!! YES!! The mattress is basically a box spring, all night metal springs poking you. I booked 3 nights and left after one. Expedia could not dial international to attempt to refund the difference. I have stopped payment. STAY AWAY!!!

the location is good. close to the tube station, and a quiet and not at all dangerous area. the room was very small, but at least it was very clean. the staff helpful. we stayed only for 2 nights. we booked this hotel from an internet hotel website, so we didn't pay the normal hotel rates. i advise you to do the same thing, since the normal price is too much for this hotel. no problems with noise.

Hotel altamente recomendable. Estuvimos 3 noches en dos habitaciones (triple y cuadruple). La habitaciones muy bien aprovechadas pero con el espacio necesario. Todo muy limpio. El personal muy pero que muy agradable. Incluso una de las recepcionistas me ayudo bastante con un problema que tenia para el checkin online a pesar de que ella llevaba solo dos semanas alli trabajando. La situacion del hotel es simplemente perfecta. A 5min. de la estacion de metro y un servicio excelente de éste. El barrio de lo mas tranquilo pudiendo pasear muy tranquilamente de noche o volver tarde. Lo dicho, cuando vuelva a Londres, seguro que vuelvo a este hotel!!!!!!!!
