Very spacious apartment in Kensington. Proximity to tube is good and several close grocery store. Housekeeping was fantastic. Property could use some updating but overall very comfortable stay. Elevator is extremely small and could present a challenge if you have a bigger family, wheelchair, or pram.

Very functional apartment. Was great to have space. Ac worked fine but didn’t quite get cool enough. The second bedroom ac was not good. Still the place was very nice. Service and cleanliness were very good.

Some of the furniture looks shabby,, some bathrooms have no shelves for toiletries , bathrooms could use door hooks. The staff is outstanding. Love being so close to the tube!

The terrace attached to the penthouse was excellent. Staff were super helpful and friendly.
The tiny lift to the 6th floor/penthouse should be replaced ASAP. It broke down twice while we were in it.

Brilliant location.
Wonderful location. 2 minute walk from Gloucester Rd station. Entrance is not marked clearly and we walked past it initially. Check in was smooth and the desk friendly. Apartment is spacious for a couple and very well set up. Furniture is looking fairly worn but still fine. Bed is comfortable on the softer side. Only issue was that the air conditioner didn’t appear to work. However there was a portable fan. Fair value. Great location. Certainly recommend.

Super Harrington!
The welcome was amazing and team super courteous. The room was spacious and the amenities adequate for our needs, travelling with my partner and our baby. The location was excellent for all the nice things London has to offer.
Pre-visit communication can be improved as a few messages I had sent earlier were responded to late.

Spacious flat - great for family
Great location, right by the Gloucester Road tube station. We booked the 1 bedroom apartment which was a spacious flat with separate bedroom, bathroom and living room/ kitchen. The separate spaces made it easy to prepare meals as well as put our kid to bed early and stay up later without waking him up.
The staff was present and helpful with any questions or requests we had.
The only negative thing we had was about the room structure, which is more about the structure of the building itself. The living room/ kitchen space had no window to the outside. At night this was no big deal, but in the morning / day time, this made the space dark and depressing.

Pleasant apartment
The room was a good size, 2 huge balconies, everything provided. Lift to room too. If my only possible safety comment, if you are infirm, pray the lift works, the emergency staircase is steep.

Second to none
From the moment we entered the building it was amazing, the staff were so kind and welcoming. When we got into the room, it was even better than the pictures. We felt right at home, the bed was amazingly comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could need, the bathroom was well equipped too. Would definitely stay again guaranteed.

Great place
We had such a lovely overnight stay with our 2 year old!
Having an apartment made our life so much easier than just a hotel room, there was more space than the pictures showed too!
The staff were really lovely and couldn’t do enough to help.
Great value for money and we will definitely return!

We loved the Harrington Apartments and had a great stay. The apartment was large, spacious, beautiful and clean.The location was excellent just a short walk from Gloucester Road tube Station and we used the Piccadilly line to get in and out of Central London and perfectly located for our concert at the Royal Albert Hall which we walked back from.The staff were so friendly and welcoming and took an interest in us and could not have been more helpful. We are definitely going to go back to The Harrington Apartments on our next trip to London. Great eating options in the immediate neighbourhood. Mike and Gill Wilson December 23
