What guests think

Across many reviews, K Hotel Kensington is praised for a convenient South Kensington location near the Tube, generally clean, modern rooms, and friendly staff, while repeated drawbacks include compact room sizes, traffic noise, and mixed breakfast value and quality.

Rooms feel modern but many are very small, with tight bathrooms, some basement or internal rooms without outside windows, and limited sound insulation. Service is widely described as friendly and efficient, though a few guests reported curt interactions, strict ID checks, or occasional errors like wrong key cards. On-site facilities are basic, with AC, a lift and luggage storage but little else. Overall, it suits short, value-focused stays.

Great location for the tube, less than 10 minutes walk from Gloucester Road. Handy Waitrose just beside the tube, some fast food outlets and bars too. Room was tiny, only a double bed and room to shuffle around it. Fresh towels left during our 2 night stay and basic toiletries provided. Kettle in room with tea, coffee and biscuits. We didn't book breakfast so can't comment. We did leave luggage on our last morning and it was stored securely until we collected it before heading for our train.

Fantastic location for catching the tube at Gloucester Road, staff are helpful and friendly. Could do with an on site bar in the evenings, this is a missed revenue opportunity by the hotel. Visible areas of the hotel room are very clean, however in twin rooms the bed closest to the wall down the side next to the wall was dirty and hadn't been cleaned in a long time given the amount of dust. That being said, very enjoyable stay and recommend if looking for a convenient hotel in Central London with good connections to tourist locations.

The reception were courteous and booking in was a breeze. A short distance from Gloucester Rd tube station is a short walk and so are the museums. All in all I would stay there again.

We stayed two nights, arrived by tube service, and walked to the hotel. The hotel has several places to grab lunch or dinner close (within walking distance), and it also has one big supermarket and a smaller one within walking distance (3 blocks). The room was clean and comfortable, but it did not have a refrigerator, and the mattress was not the most comfortable one I have slept in. The hotel location is perfect, with elevators, which is excellent when you have luggage to carry on.

I stayed here for 4 nights in a family room on the third floor. The room was not huge but adequate. It was reasonably clean but the shower cubicle tiles and base would benefit from a more thorough clean. The reception staff were friendly and efficient. We didn’t have the breakfast but I did notice on the menu that it is served with turkey bacon and chicken sausages, not pork products. Had I paid the £15 for this in advance I would be very disappointed so I only mention this as a warning to those who love their pork sausages and bacon. There was nothing really wrong at the hotel but I would question the 4 stars that it claims to be. There are no real facilities that would elevate this beyond a 3 star. This didn’t really matter as I got a great deal on this hotel (€730 for the 4 nights), compared to their normal rates (seemed to be around (€1,200) and other hotels around. It is ideally situated for Gloucester Road and Earl’s Court underground stations putting you in a quiet area but with the hustle & bustle within easy reach. Overall I would probably stay again if I got it for the same price as it felt value for money but wouldn’t stay for the higher rate.

Room was small, but fine for me on my own, and pretty normal size for London. There is a lift, but it doesn't entirely go to the levels the rooms are on (at least not on the 5th floor) and you still need to climb up half a dozen steps. Property was really clean. Bed was comfortable. Shower had good pressure and temperature. WiFi didn't work - showed as connected with good strength, but no site would load - tried on multiple devices. The air conditioning turned off multiple times during the night - I would wake up hot, get out of bed and turn the power back on, then hours later repeat. Twinings tea supplied along with a couple of packets of biscuits. There were toiletries and a hair dryer, in room safe, and plenty of hangers.

first of all the size of the room, its too small to even have 3 star, the second is the black out curtains were terrible, the quantity of external light comming through the window was too much, and no possibility of getting total dark for sleep purpouse, and the last the table for working in the room was so small that made it impossible to work in the room.

Perfect location for exploring London - walking distance to many interesting places and lots of restaurant options within 5 mins walk from the hotel. Rooms were quiet - and clean. Beds were very soft and uncomfortable and there was no fridge in the room -which would have been appreciated. The biggest negative is the extremely small wash basin - superimpractical when you cannot even wash your face.

Good location + proximity to tube station. However, staff is condescending and rude. Many rooms are also equipped with "open showers" with no shower doors so water floods the bathroom while showering. Would not stay again, but the attitude of the staff demonstrates they are used to one-time travelers only.

Hotel is decent, but small rooms - issue was due to a delay we had half hour to check in and get changed for a wedding which I explained to the receptionist who first wanted me to fill in 2 forms with info they should already have? Then asked for ID i did not have, and had not been advised I should bring - despite repeating our predicament, he was being a total jobs worth and very rude. Never asked for ID to check in to any hotel.?? Stupid rules making us even later for the wedding - kept banging on about policy!
