Stay was fine. Room was clean, bathroom exceptional. Ideal for a one night stop over. Two minutes walk from tube station.Easy to speak to someone on the phone when needed. A little noise but still slept.

Kitchen was poorly equipped. Only provided with 1 saucepan to cook with. No cutting knives or any other kitchen utensils provided, besides dining cutlery. We were staying for quite some time and had plans to cook some food, but the limited supplies made it hard to. Also there’s some mold around the side of the kitchen sink too.

Handy place to base yourself in London

Extremely handy to transport options in Earls Court, the rooms are well appointed with lots of storage options. There is a virtual front desk, but any requests are responded to in a timely manner.

We stayed at the Kensington Stay for 3 nights and overall it was a lovely stay. Amenities were good, the accommodation itself is a couple of minuite walk from the tube stop which is really handy and it felt very safe! Only thing to note is that we had a ground floor room and the traffic outside was pretty loud so I'd recommend bringing earplugs with you if you're a light sleeper!

Nice little efficiency very close to Earl’s Court tube station. My room was much smaller than the photos. Although it had a small stove, desk, refrigerator and closet, if there were more than one person in this room it would be too small no space to get in on one side of the bed. Perfect for one.

I stayed a week in a double room. I had a great stay here, my room was very quiet (room 15) as it was at the back of the property. Having cooking facilities was a bonus. The room was clean and well maintained. It was small but eas cleverly designed with lots of storage space and the shower was a good size unlike lots of small rooms in London I have stayed in before. The only things that I think could be improved would be a mattress topper for the bed as it was very hard uncomfortable and I could feel the springs, not good for my back. Also the blinds are not block out but I had already read about this and had my eye mask so this wasn't an issue for me. A tea towel would also be handy but again I had read about the lack of a tea towel and bought my own. Fairly easy things to fix to make this hotel a really comfortable stay. There was also a lift, which is now working and access to a laundry room another bonus. Very convenient to supermarkerts and across the road from Earls Court Station which is a direct line to and from Heathrow airport. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Perfect for a couple of nights as quiet and fridge makes it easy to self cater. Website and owners need to update/ clearly mark address and provide directions from tube. We had 28-30 as door number but actual number was 1, so we walked right past as lots of people where in the way hiding tiny sign with building name. Also make it clear to use tube exit for Warwick Road/olympia buses NOT main exit. Room was great, plenty of space and water pressure in bathroom excellent. Appreciated UHT milk, tea and bottled water.

Great budget base

Great little base for exploring London or going to shows as we were. Positives, the room was clean, plenty of storage and had everything you need for a couple of nights including AC. Negatives, they could invest in some better blinds as they block out no light, lift was broken and we were on the top floor, fridge door doesn't shut properly so took ages to get cold. And there was a terrible smell coming from somewhere in the bathroom plus the extractor didn't work so smelt pretty bad all weekend in there. Think we were in room 9

Need to have a guide to some of the things about the room e.g. the air conditioner turns off if window open, light in bathroom turns off when the door closes. I arrived very early and had trouble finding somewhere to leave luggage. Having said that, the room was good and I would recommend it for the budget traveller. Very close to the Underground.

I am definitely going to book this place again. We went to a concert in Hyde Park and this was perfect for a one night stay. Great location, great value. Right opposite the tube station and within reach of poplar takeaways. Clean, tidy and safe. Bit noisy at night with ambulances passing but the air-con was top draw! 😊

Close to the train and bus stations and shops. However, the facilities are quite poor - the fridge door didn't close due to the freezer section full of ice. When contacting staff, he didn't care. Also the bedroom lamp was broken, the TV antenna cable was broken, and the sink moved out of its bench cutout. Wouldn't recommend this property.
Kitchen sink moved within the bench top cut-out, and was quite dirty around it.

Reasonable room

Located in an area for easy access to everything in LOndon. The check in was easy and allowed us to check in 2 hours earliar than standard check in time which was very nice. Room is small with a fridge, electric hob. Bed is comfortable. Bathroom is small however clean and adequate. Shower head needs replacing as lime scales preventing water flow. Room is clean enough for my taste. Air conditioning is a massive plus. The room can be decorated with some nice paining or so. No iron or ironing board. Overall, I had a pleasent stay and would consider staying again.

Great location

Brilliant location only five mins from Earls Court Station and facilities were good too. Great communication in advance of arrival as no staff present. Only slight downside is that the road is incredibly busy even at night and so suffers a little with traffic noise.

Perfect

Quick overnight trip with my daughter for a concert. This room was exactly what we needed. Perfectly located for transport links. Perfect size room with kitchenette, microwave, fridge, sink and hob. Building was quiet although there is traffic noise- it’s in the centre of the city so to be expected. Plenty of storage if you were planning on a longer stay. Shower and bathroom was great. Iron available if you phone reception- number on the wall in the foyer. Will definitely book again.
