I just stayed at this hotel for a 2 day business trip. The good: Close to many restaurants, shopping, and pubs. Clean. Stairs are not that big of a deal, unless you have a humongous heavy suitcase. 6mps free wi-fi The bad: Paper thin walls -- I could hear every cough, and every time the person in the room beside...

Great Hotel and location is excellent. Although I had to go to the hotel next door (The Phoenix Hotel) to check in. That was a posh hotel. Still the Kensington Gardens Hotel is nice and very comfortable. But no toilet in the room and I had to share one on the landing with the other guests in the hotel. Which... More

I stayed in a standard single room for one night, and was surprised to find that I had to leave the room and go down a flight of stairs to get to the toilet (booked via Expedia, no indication of this on the booking so be careful...). I didn't ask to move since it was late and already my second... More

After handing us the key the lady informed us that when we left the hotel we would need to hand it back to reception for security reasons. Then on our return pick it up from reception or if after 5 from a neighbouring hotel down the... More

We spent 4 nights at the Kensington Gardens Hotel in May, 2012, and thought the location was a perfect base for our explorations of London. The hotel is very convient to Paddington train station and has excellent tube and bus service a few minutes away. We enjoyed walking in the area as Notting Hill, the Portebello Market, and Kensington Gardens... More

My wife and I have just got back from a two night stay at the Kensington Gardens and had a great weekend. we were welcomed with open arms by Rowshanak who was very polite, friendly and bubbly and made us feel at home. The hotel is in a lovely area, about 5 minutes walk from Bayswater tube station, just off... More
