I was given a “quieter” room on the ground floor. However, the next day there was drilling & banging in the afternoon & then the following morning starting at 8.00am !!! Not happy & had to tell the workmen to “shut up as it was too early”.

Not up to normal standards

We have stayed here before and loved it. So we came back, but this time we tried to have a drink in the bar but they only had Guinness on draft, and no where to sit. The room was nice however both cream and shower gel either empty and not working and in the bathroom there was a huge pile of sawdust/dust that hadn’t been cleaned up after a repair. Reception lady lovely as always

This is an old rundown hotel with the Radisson Blu brand slapped on it. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. Old worn room, broken phone due to bad wiring, bad air conditioning, broken lamp, chipped door and furniture. And outside the window was an industrial mess on the roof spewing smoke. Management did NOTHING for us, except provide us with a fan since too warm to sleep.
View outside our room window. Apocalypse Now.

On the whole a good stay in a great location for the Natural History & Science museums. We booked a family room & felt rather mislead as the photos clearly showed a double & two separate sofa / pull out beds. We booked this hotel for this specific reason as one of our children is autistic & cannot cope sharing a bed. We arrived at the hotel at 10.30am to leave our bag. We mentioned needing separate beds for the children. The member of staff we spoke to said he couldn’t promise but would do his best & if he couldn’t get that room we could have either an inter connecting or two twins. We went out for the day & got back mid / late evening. We got to our room to find one double sofa bed & a king. Our children were exhausted so didn’t want us to try & move rooms again but this was annoying. The sofa bed was awful, you could feel every spring & each time one of the children moved the whole bed squeaked. The tea / coffee hadn’t been re-stocked so no milk or sugar. Small things but not great. King size bed was comfortable with nice pillows / duvet & bathroom had a good shower. Breakfast was buffet style & a fair price & good quality. We probably wouldn’t stay again as the bed situation didn’t meet our needs but it’s a good hotel otherwise.

The Georgian/early Victorian style being retained gives the hotel a grand and comfortable feel. One can feel somewhat pampered in of the public areas especially. Breakfast is a delight, really can set oneself up for the day and at a reasonable price. Bathroom in family room was inadequate but I would stay again but want a different room.

The AC was not working at all and the bathroom was a bit dirty. Even the shower shampoo and conditioner was so difficult to get out. I believe that for such a steep price in the Kensington area and a name brand hotel, your AC should at the very least work. If it does not then that room should not be given out to people at all.
