What guests think

Residence Inn by Marriott London Kensington earns praise for friendly, attentive staff, a generous breakfast, and practical suites with kitchenettes, plus a handy next door Tesco and walkable links to Earl's Court for travelers seeking convenience and value.

Across reviews, the two elevators are undersized for the building and frequently slow or out of service, leading to long waits. Many guests also report weak or nonworking air conditioning, especially in warm weather. Noise from corridors or the street and inconsistent housekeeping appear at times, and the location is a walk from the nearest Tube and not central to major sights. Expect a comfortable, service-led stay with some operational trade-offs.

First the good...We stayed there for 8 nights. Every person that works there were so friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. My daughter slept on the pull out couch. The free breakfast was great. Fresh fruit, bread, and pastries every day. The coffee maker made whatever you liked....espresso, cappuccino, etc. The hot food was better than most hotels. The location was great. It was about a 15 minute walk to the tube. There is no in-house restaurant, but the Italian place across the street delivered for free. It was decent for the couple of nights we were dead tired from our day. Now for the not so good...Breakfast was a mob scene every morning. A wait for a table took a half hour at times. That being said, the staff were amazing at keeping everything orderly and stocked. The elevators are the worst. They have a mind of their own. They even have a sign in them, saying how slow they are. It got to be comical by the end of our stay. We often hiked the five floors to avoid the wait. The bed in the room instead of being against the window was against the hallway wall (which seemed to be about one inch thick), and the noise from guests moving (often kids running)about and talking loudly, woke us up multiple times a night. Overall. the good outweighed the bad by quite a bit. American hotels could use a lesson from the fabulous staff at this hotel. I would definitely stay again and recommend this hotel to my friends.

Outstanding service!! Cannot say enough about how well the staff did in exceeding our expectations at every opportunity. The ONLY complaint is the lift- undersized for the property, and with a disabled guest the stairs are not an option. Wasted quite a bit of time waiting and heard many complaints from other giests about the same.

Conveniently located near Earls Court tube, next to a large superstore. The gym was good and the laundry was a god send when travelling. Breakfast was good quality/ good variety and plenty. The rooms had everything you needed even had a small balcony! The only thing that let it down for me was the cleanliness, the stairs where filthy with tissues/rubbish etc lying for over a day. The gym and laundry never got cleaned in the 3 days we stayed. The gym had a dirty towel as well as rubbish lying in the same place for those 3 days and nothing to clean the equipment with between users.

As a regular guest, I want to thank you for consistently providing a wonderful experience. The room was fantastic, and the breakfast as excellent as always. I truly appreciate the high quality of service you maintain. That said, I’d like to share one concern from my recent stay. The hotel was, as usual, fully booked — which is a good sign! — but it did feel quite crowded at times. Waiting for the elevator was the most challenging part of the experience. Staying on a high floor became uncomfortable, especially given the recent earthquake in Turkey, which left me feeling uneasy. Unfortunately, there were no available rooms to move to a lower floor, though your staff handled the situation with kindness and professionalism. Next time I’m in London, I will absolutely stay with you again — but I will definitely request a room on a lower floor, where I’d feel safer and could use the stairs if needed. Thank you again for your hospitality.

The location of the hotel was good, and it was also close to a large supermarket. Having a kitchen in the room was very convenient. However, the check-in process took a long time because the payment system wasn’t working. In addition, one of the elevators was constantly out of order, so there was often a long wait. The breakfast, though, was good. Unfortunately, there were many fruit flies in the room, which was quite disgusting — I killed around 20 of them. I even saw them flying in the lobby. If you left food unattended for a while, the flies would land on it. To make matters worse, I found four silverfish bugs during my stay. The television also didn’t work properly, as it kept shutting down after 10–15 minutes. When I checked out, I reported all of these issues, and the staff said they were already aware of them. So think twice before choosing to stay at this place.

The room was very nice and spacious though, good kitchen facilties. Very clean. Staff were a mix - some very pleasant and a few not really bothered about customer service. Good location.

Overheard other guests complaining of no AC as well. I of 2 elevators was out of service. This is a large hotel and guests waited in line to use elevator and it was full when doors opened on many floors. Guests with luggage or prams waited for several full elevators to pass. First room had soiled carpet and upholstery. Couch had buttons hanging off cushions or missing. Some mold in shower. Hotel is worn and need of maintenance

The staff was nice and friendly, the breakfast was good, and the room was in good shape. It could be a good stay, however there was a bad experience in check-in. Even when I have presented my driving license confirming my identity, I was mixed up with another unrelated customer, and I was charged a huge amount of money, but in fact I have already paid online during booking for the night I stay. Luckily I checked the credit card App and discover the incident when reaching my room. The staff reacted efficiently and have the problem resolved after some checking and verification.

This hotel was exceptional regarding its services especially its free laundries that is available to all customers. Not only this, the breakfast provided to all guests were outstanding as there were various options for pastry and breakfast menus. The location was also adequate as the Earls Court Station was only a 9 minute walk allowing visitors to easily travel to their destination without spending much money. Also, Tesco is right around the corner, near the hotel so it was nice to have a grocery store nearby for additional food to eat. However there isn’t really a room service as they don’t directly deliver it to your room and you have to pick it up yourself from the lobby and the food is also not made from the hotel, it is made from a restaurant nearby. Despite that factor, everything else was enjoyable and I would recommend visiting this hotel as the prices are affordable compared to the services you can access.

Was sent an email the day before saying if I did not pay by 10 the next day the booking would be cancelled (booking was to pay at hotel) Hotels.com gave me confidence this would not be the case. Very busy on check-in, but requested an early check-in which was confirmed. Room was OK, clean but tired and only an OK standard. Lifts very busy, so a lot of waiting or use the stairs. The breakfast food was good and plentiful, but the seating arrangements far too crowded with people constantly bumping and pushing past tables.
