December 2024Lovely place, great location for my business trip. Convenient for getting around London. Loved the restaurant/bar. Housekeeping was very nice with my room service time. Nice reception but a bit busy at times.

December 2024A delightful little gem that feels both charming and welcoming. While the hotel itself is great, it is the exceptional friendliness and attentiveness of the staff that elevates it to fantastic. The rooms are well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. They strike the perfect balance between functionality and style, offering everything needed for a pleasant stay. Breakfast is another highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty traditional breakfast or something lighter, the offerings are fresh, plentiful, and delicious, ensuring a fantastic start to the day. Overall, the Thistle Kensington is a highly recommend!

January 2025All staff were incredibly friendly and helpful during my stay. Everyone in my group felt very welcomed and any problems we had were solved very quickly, especially the restaurant manager who managed to serve us cooked breakfast at 5:30am. Location was great as it's a 3 min walk to the nearest tube on the central line. Will stay here again on my next trip to London.

January 2025Absolutely would not recommend staying here. My partner and I had a 6 night stay here. On the first night we complained to reception that our bathroom was COVERED in mould. They said they couldn’t do anything about it for the night and would have to stay in the mould infested room but the next day it would be properly cleaned while we were out…It wasn’t. We were only moved to a different room on our last night of stay after I had to make another complain to reception that our room had been serviced by the housekeeping but our “new clean towels” were covered in what honestly looked like poo. Rubbish bins in the room were never emptied and cleaned. Bed linen had obvious stains. And the rooms were VERY small. The phone in our room did not work so when we had to raise complaints with reception/management we would have to go to reception in person but no one was ever there to help! We would have to wait long periods of time for someone to come and when we would wait multiple other guests would be waiting with complaints about the hygiene of their rooms as well! We are very unhappy with our stay as making people stay in a room infested with mould for 5 nights with no compensation is inexcusable. We will definitely come back to London but NEVER stay here again!
