Great location, excellent sized room, front desk staff were friendly and helpful.
Beautiful hotel in a great location. My room was a comfortable size and very clean. Would definitely stay again and will recommend to friends in the future.
The hotel is very cozy and we enjoyed having the kitchen amenities! The location is terrific, plenty of shopping, dining, gardens and museums near by, although Cromwell St is very busy street. The staff is fabulous- friendly and eager to make your stay a pleasant one
Excellent breakfast, restaurant and overall hotel vibe is exquisite. The toilet is a bit off but very spacious the little partition thing doesn't really blocking water splash out from the shower the floor will be pretty wet but do dry very quickly.

Friendly staff, great location for access to museums and lovely vibe
This is a lovely hotel, very convenient for West London. The decor is colourful and unconventional, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It has the bonus of a small restaurant, garden and a bar. I would definitely stay here again (and have).
What a find! Perfect for our travel plans. First time staying Kensington and it didn’t disappoint. From check in to leaving the staff were awesome
Thank you so much

The room was incredible and the staff were all amazing! We had a great experience staying here.
The welcome staff was amazing and super accommodating! I loved the atmosphere and the location was top tier. If you’re looking for a safe, walkable and beautiful location this is the place for you! Thank you Ember Locke.
We stayed for one night and really enjoyed it. We loved how the room was decorated, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable day. In particular, we found the kitchenette to be well appointed. The location was very convenient, only a few minutes walk from Earl’s Court tube station, and despite the hotel being located on a busy road, it was very quiet in the room so we could sleep. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
we love this hotel did two trips to London recently and stayed there both times. very friendly staff, rooms were spotlessly clean, wonderful shampoo, very warm and cozy in January, stunning decor, steps from earls court station, and great cafe and restaurant
