The Vicarage Hotel is located in a very convenient location in the lovely Kensington area and the price is very reasonable. The breakfast offered is substantial and you can choose cooked or continental options. We stayed at the Vicarage for a week and felt very comfortable there during our stay. More

Built in 1895, this house in a charming small Kensington neighborhood, is a B&B style hotel. Pretty wallpapers, a comfortable lounge, and quirky statues on the landing all add up to a homey, affordable place to stay in London. We stayed for a week. Our room was large and comfortable with a refitted ensuite bathroom; pillows and bed linens were... More

A Victorian residence that's been converted into a small B&B style hotel. We had a quirky room with a high ceiling, comfy en suite bathroom and a typical London view onto other Victorian houses. Full English breakfast was included in the price and the breakfast service was fast, friendly and flawless. We got all the help we wanted but otherwise... More

Very tidy hotel in Kensington neighborhood, close to shopping,pubs and some very good restaurants. I would highly recommend The Vicarage Hotel to anyone wanting a more intimate boutique hotel experience. The hotel is very close to bus and tube stations making it convenient to visit all museums and attractions. Mandy was so very helpful with advice on the tube and... More

I first stated at the Vicarage in the l980's and have many many trips back over the years. It's a wonderful place for a single woman as it feels safe, warm and welcoming. The area couldn't be better - beautiful, residential, upscale, lively but not touristy or noisy. Very convenient to the Tube and anything else you could want. Very... More

I booked to stay at this charming B&B type hotel for 4 nights. It is certainly in a great location, very quiet and within walking distance of Kensington High Street and Notting Hill Gate underground stations. Also very close to Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. The hotel was exactly what I expected. I had a single room and whilst small... More

I had great anticipation of staying at this hotel from the charming web-site and reviews I had read but was very very disappointed once I had arrived and experienced in person their accommodations. This hotel is located in a very lovely residential area between Kensington High st and Notting Hill Gate but really does not represent itself honestly on the... More

I found the Vicarage Hotel to be very charming. The owners are helpful; one of them brought my very heavy suitcase up several flights of stairs. And the location is wonderful. It is in a very safe area near Kensington Park and Palace. I would definitely stay there again. More

We found this hotel at the last minute, and while it was a step up from where we would've been staying, we still felt like this hotel was average. The owner was very friendly, and she was very accomodating, seeing as we arrived to the hotel earlier than planned. The location was perfect and central to Kensington! Couldn't have asked... More
