Brent, 1-night trip

Sara, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved it all, I left y luggage and enjoyed the walk about the shops. Close to Underground Tube. Lovely neighborhood. Great staff. Modern yet traditional outside.
Michelle, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Basic room. TV didn’t work. Good location.
Alastair, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Good location!
Ella, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property is in an excellent location, but a significant upgrade is needed in the standard of decoration to make it suited to the home expectations of contemporary visitors to London.
Catherine Lynn, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved stay at The Villa Kensington, it was clean, the staff were amazing and prompt. I highly recommend staying and I will stay here again on my next trip.
Julio, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location for using the tube to get around. The staff was professional and kind and always willing to help with questions. I would definitely recommend for a reasonable, very good stay.
Linda, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

They put me in a basement with moldy walls,moths in the room,old carpet and furniture. They said they couldn’t change it due to hotel fully booked. The receptionist was nice though. And the area is amazing. This is the worst room I have ever been by far, for $200!!!. The bathroom was the only renovated thing.
Ina, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property from the outside is very nice. Our room was on the small side and did need up dating.
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Although the rooms were clean the bathroom sink had a crazed crack in it. The shower was not very powerful. Only one bath towel per person was provided no hand towels. It would have been nice to have had a full length mirror even if it had been inside on the wardrobe door. There was no tea/coffee/milk available in the rooms but this could be picked up in reception
Bridget, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved this place. I was in a single room on 2nd floor and it was quiet, room clean and tidy with a comfy bed and nice bed linen. Shower was great. There was a safe in the wardrobe. Easy to walk to from underground stations. Also a 15 min walk to Natural History Museum, V&A, Royal Albert Hall. Mainly though the staff at reception were lovely and helpful. I had an issue with a gig ticket and they sorted it for me. I would have missed the event if it hadn't been for them. Would definitely recommend this place and will stay again.
Sam, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I love the 3 single beds. I was there with my 2 best friends and loved the separate beds. We were able to walk safely to the Tube and loved our local Pub and other eating places. Thank you, 3 American Gals. We will be back.

Jason, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice hotel. Incredible staff. Not very centrally located close to "touristy" areas, but a 2 minute walk to the tube that connects you to everything. Honestly, i would stay again.

Staff was extremely accommodating, room clean, very nice breakfast included, but the elevator was under construction and that caused some hassle.
