While the decor is a little dated, the hotel is well maintained, clean and well kept. Love the breakfast buffet. Access to public transport is good and it is within walking distance to a large mall. Loved my stay.

Very happy

Really nice hotel in a good area near the Westfield Centre. Lovely friendly staff, a good breakfast but crazy busy which put me off on one of the days. Only other issue was really low water pressure in the shower...but otherwise an excellent hotel and stay

Tired hotel.

The hotel it’s self is more like shepherds Bush than Kensington. The underground parking is a massive plus and there is plenty of it. All the staff were excellent and couldn’t do enough for you. The hotel its self is dated. The rooms are tiny and are due a good refurbishment. The shower was the worst shower I’ve ever had in a hotel. That said the bed was comfortable and the room was clean.

Somewhere to get head down

The hotel was ok for bed comfy and having a fridge in the room, plus nice size bathroom. The breakfast was amazing, such choice. Only thing that was not good was the whole hotel was far to hot in temperature and the room climate control wasn’t good, fan even on cool and high didn’t help cool down the room at all.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Tiny, Dirty, and Uncomfortable My stay at the Hilton London Kensington was a complete disappointment. The room was incredibly cramped, barely big enough to open my suitcase. The furniture was old and worn, with a large, stained patch on a chair that I didn't even want to sit on. The room itself was not clean, and I left feeling like I hadn't had a proper night's rest. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The staff were all excellent and professional. The food in restaurant was very good as well. The breakfast buffet was excellent, so many options to choose from and everything is quality. The bed was very comfortable in a spacious room. Westfield shopping centre is 10 minute walk away which is just past the Shepherds Bush tube station. We really enjoyed our long weekend and will definitely be going back.

Ummmm beds what

The hotel itself was super clean and the staff incredibly inviting. Finishes in the bedroom were dire .. it could have been a lovely room but we were left snagging clothing on upholstery that had seen better days and our twin room beds for undesirable .. beds are super high off the ground and on wheels so brace yourself for impact should you be as clumsy as myself. Mattress was a little hard and after the mattress test winded myself a little .. but my heart went out to those in the room below us because damn those beds made some noise and given that we were woken many times either but the creaking of us turning or because we needed to find comfort in the beds .. I mean otherwise it's a prime location and the staff were on the ball.
