High Street Kensington Apartments

What guests think

At High Street Kensington Apartments, guests consistently praise the central, walkable location near the Tube, parks, and shops, and several felt safe due to the nearby embassy presence, while experiences with cleanliness, maintenance, and service vary widely across stays.

Elevator outages and issues with in-unit amenities like air conditioning and washer/dryers appear in multiple reviews. Apartments are often spacious with comfortable beds, but furniture wear, limited kitchen stock, and occasional noise or small bedrooms are noted. Service ranges from friendly check-ins to slow or unresponsive support, with some reports of difficult communication and payment or towel problems. Expect a great location with variable upkeep and support.

Great location, beautiful architecture, authentic London experience. On the negative side we got only one key and since apartment was on a fifth floor someone would have to go down the stairs to open the door and climb back to fifth floor without the elevator. Sofa bed is worn out and should be replaced.

Overall the area of London was great and the flat was centrally located. The washing machine didnt dry the clothes and the AC in the unit was very minimal so we had to go purchae fans. Also, they didnt furnish hand towels so we had to go buy them as well. You have to call to have get new towels and they didnt offer a cleanign service so we had to take out trash and clean the unit.

This was in a great location convenient to tube and shopping/dining. Because there is a consulate office/residence next door it has police present 24 hours outside. The apartment was spacious (bathrooms small as typical of urban areas in London). Maintenance of the building didn’t seem a priority so don’t necessarily expect the laundry amenities or showers that drain,etc. we ended up having to use a laundromat and it was a bit of a commute since the residences in this neighborhood all have laundry and there aren’t big hotels nearby. I really don’t think I would recommend this specific property just the location. If you do book you may want to mention that you are specifically booking because of laundry or AC amenities. Those were my main requirements other than the area being safe and convenient. We enjoyed our stay in Paris at Hotel Eiffel Turenne and our last night in London at the Standard (very convenient to the Eurostar train station and Londons biggest underground tube station with multiple lines). Don’t be filled by my name, I gave both of those hotels 5 stars 😉

I was pleasantly surprised by the location of the apartment. We would book again. While the other reviews did mention issues with the lift, we were already accustomed to going up and down stairs. In the future, it might be good to alert customers about this issue. In general, the apartment meet all of our needs for a family of 5. The washing machine was another added perk. The apartment was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had no issues with checking in and out. The person who checked us in was friendly and helped with my wife’s bag.

The location was wonderful. And the unit was quite nice. We had an unfortunate hiccup with check-in which led to some stress for us, but it all worked out. It would have been nice if there were a few more basics stocked in the kitchen. The only frying pan was teflon, but all of the utensils were metal. Overall, it was a really lovely stay. The air conditioning was very nice.

Disappointing Stay The apartment was generally not clean, and both the sofa and one of the four kitchen chairs were unusable. Communication with the property was extremely difficult — even after several requests, clean towels were not provided for all guests. Customer service was very poor, and they even claimed that previous written reports about the issues didn’t exist. It’s clear that guest satisfaction is not a priority for them.

I loved the idea of this place! The location is fantastic and the communication and check-in process went very well for us. However, the apartment is in serious need of a thorough cleaning. The living room furniture is filthy, the bathrooms were dirty, there was food under the kitchen table. Some of the cabinets are in need to repair.

The location is simply amazing- being right by Kensington Gardens, the underground, multiple grocery stores, and plenty of shopping. While the apartment could benefit from a deep cleaning and some maintenance, it didn’t feel dirty or unsafe at all. It was well appointed with everything you need to make the place your home away from home.

BAD BAD BAD. Don’t stay at this dirty place unless you want to get bitten by fleas. By day 3, we were covered in itchy bite marks that ruined our trip. Most things are broken and need to be replaced and they really need to deep clean and fumigate the place. We complained and while they were responsive, they cleaned it again, the problem didn’t go away (even after ‘deep cleaning’ it was still dusty) and when we asked for a refund, only offered a 5% discount, which is not acceptable imo. Location is great, but that’s it. I wouldn’t recommend.

We booked this property through Hotels.com and had an extremely distressing experience. When we arrived, we found visible vomit on the bed, clearly left by a previous guest. It was disgusting and unacceptable. While the host eventually sent someone to change the sheets, the bare mattress was left uncovered, raising serious concerns about cleanliness and contamination. This was not just unpleasant — it was a health and hygiene issue. I was already feeling unwell, and being expected to stay in such an environment was unsafe and irresponsible. We left the property immediately because it was unfit to occupy. To make matters worse, despite clearly explaining the situation and requesting a refund, our request was denied. The host claimed we “refused help,” which is not true — we simply could not remain in such unsanitary conditions. We are extremely disappointed with both the property and Hotels.com for failing to take accountability and protect guests. I strongly urge others to think twice before booking this listing or trusting that your concerns will be taken seriously. We expected at least the minimum standards of cleanliness, and even that was not met.

the place had bed-bugs. we had to run away once we found it. the bedrooms are tiny and most bedrooms had a fake window. the apartment is damp, some pictures are probably taken from a different apartment, since it was definitely not what we saw in our apartment. the paint is falling some of the walls. you cant even fit a suitcase in the bedrooms. the "management" of the place did not provide us a full refund, even though we immediately informed them of the problems. very disappointing.
