What guests think

Across many reviews, The Queens Gate Hotel stands out for its convenient South Kensington location near the Royal Albert Hall and museums, friendly and professional staff, and generally clean, comfortable rooms that feel recently refreshed.

Breakfast is widely praised for quality and variety, though the restaurant menu is limited and late-night food options are scarce, with the bar sometimes small, pricey, or slow when busy. Room experiences vary: some are spacious and updated, others are quite small with tight showers, tricky climate or lighting controls, or noise from renovations and neighboring rooms. Overall, expect a polished base with occasional space and noise trade-offs.

I would love to give this place 5 stars. We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed the decadent breakfast buffet well worth the $ and walk ability to everything! The staff were so friendly. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is they were doing construction from 8 am-5 pm and it sounded like they were running a jackhammer right above our room. Totally unacceptable given the price we paid and to have guest be woken up to that. Aside from the noise we loved this property and would likely stay here again when the construction is done. We do feel the hotel should have warned its guests of the noise so we could choose to stay elsewhere if desired.

Stunning hotel in South Kensington , located in a reasonable walking distance to all attractions! You are around the corner from the museums and the Albert Hall. We had a room on the top floor. No noise and the room was a decent size with everything we needed for our stay. The bathroom had extra toiletries like vanity set, shoe polisher as well as the usual shower gels etc. Nespresso machine for tea / coffee and there is a minibar albeit we didn’t use that facility . The only negative is there was no info pack in the room with prices / local attractions/ room service etc

Great location close to tube stations and bus stops. So close to many attractions in Kensington. Various food options within walking distance. Friendly staff. The room always stayed hot though despite modifying the thermostat. The pillows weren’t very comfortable. But these two things are the only complaints I can make the room was clean and the bathroom bigger than others I’ve experienced staying in London. The elevator is also a big plus you don’t always find in the area.

Stayed one night as at an event at the Royal Albert Hall; perfect location near to Albert Hall. Hotel was perfect for our needs, all staff were very helpful and service to a high standard. Only minor issue, one member of staff on the bar on a Friday night with a major event at the Albert Hall; service was very slow and a number of guests gave up waiting for a drink.

Very convenient for us as we went to see a show at Royal Albert Hall. Very nice area. The hotel is clean and the staff helpful and polite. The down side was car parking. We would normally of trained to the are area but my partner had not long had a knee joint replacement so we drove down, obviously I had to park some distance away from the hotel, although I was able to drop my partner off at the hotel. The car park I used was safe but 10 to 15 minutes walk away and it cost £50 to park overnight. I realise it’s London but would help to have some sort of deal with use to a car park. We got the room at a really good price so I’m grateful for that. We both enjoyed our stay and would stay there again as well as recommend to anyone. Really nice staff.

We loved it at the Queens Gate! We were a bit off put by the difference between room reality vs the picture representation, but if you read the room type .. you get what you pay for, word for word. (Temper your expectations for the actual room though. We were in a room with a view of another building and a stain on the wall.. felt a bit outdated to be honest, but it was clean and our affordable home base for 6 nights. Have I slept in more comfortable beds? Yes. Am I glad I had my own small pillow? Also yes. Breakfast was bloody delicious! Gym was going through a Reno when we were there so no access, but we walked a lot in London and likely would not have lifted in it much anyway. Doormen and the ladies at breakfast were our favourite! We sometimes debriefed our day.. we got a great restaurant recommendation (Da Mario’s) and we were able to thank the lovely lad who directed us there. Wonderful friendly staff!

The hotel is in a beautiful, quiet and clean area of the city. It's an easy spot to grab a taxi and only a 5 minute walk to grab a red bus or the tube. Our only issue, was that it was unseasonably warm the first couple days and the air conditioning was not yet turned on in the building. Otherwise, all was great!

The lights are a bit weird here, they use a high tech panel and ambient lighting. We had Room 314 which was quiet, window faced west and was an inner court yard, we did not face Queen's Gate road which can be busy and noisy.

Check-in - July 9, room was extremely cold 17C and we shut the air conditioning off. There was no heat to warm up the room. Draft was coming from top of window (see curtains blowing. It was late, didnt bother to report to front desk. Plugged in cpap machine and electricity went off, took 30 minutes to reset the electrical. Following night room was once again extremely cold 17C, front desk provided an oil radiator heater which didnt do much. They kept telling us the draft was from air circulation but there was no fan on. Could feel draft near window. Asked for another heater and provided a much better one. Overall very disappointing especially when they were adamant there was no draft. Will not return.

We had a very good 3 night stay in the Queen's Gate. The room was spacious, bright, with a high ceiling, and everything seemed perfectly new. Comfortable! Friendly staff. I did feel the hotels designer missed the mark with the design of the basement-level breakfast room, which has no windows, and is done all in gray and off-white, and everything rectangular. ...with huge 'RAINY London' murals on the short walls - all bleak choices for a windowless room in a basement! The breakfast itself was mediocre, but OK, and there WERE plenty of choices. But despite that only 'ok' breakfast situation, I'd absolutely stay at Queen's Gate again, and recommend it to others.

Room could have been swept better, and you need a PhD in European showerology to work the knobs in the shower. Also there is a “secret” button to turn on the aircon. Sneaky. Breakfast was expensive but excellent.

We were there for two concerts at the RAH, which is an easy walk from the hotel. Every member of staff was really pleasant & helpful.

The Queen's Gate Hotel is located in a convenient location. There are several metro stops that will get you to other areas of London in 20-30 minutes. The area around the hotel is safe and quiet. Located in South Kensington you can walk to Kensington Gardens, Harrods, and Notting Hill. As well, there are several museums close by which is great! I would recommend to stay at this hotel as it is clean, rooms are spacious and overall, location is a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of London.
