Very good

Overall it is a good hotel. What I like: good breakfast, but absolutely the same each day, good staff, wifi works okay, good location, close to Olympia and subway station. What I dislike: Extremely small room (at the photo they used tricks to hide that it was so small), cleaning once per 3-day (if you have smell from garbage you need to ask to remove it), during 7 days stay my the bed linen was not changed.
The hotel was very fresh, it seemed like it had been renovated recently. The room I had was a bit unsual because it was a handicapped accessible room. They offered to switch it out after a day or two but I just decided to not to bother. It was fine just a bit sparse of furnishings. The hotel was in convenient location, about a 5 to 7 minute walk to the Earl's Crossing Tube Station. I would say at this property again
The room was modern, on the small side but clean and comfortable and probably standard given it's London. Offered to store luggage even after check-out which was nice. Would stay with this chain again, but I recommend going direct for the best prices and offers.
The rooms are miniature, however, that is what you pay for. Unfortunately the walls are very thin and I heard my next door neighbor farting quite loudly throughout my stay. Furhermore, water would not go down the sink but as I was there for less than 10 hours, i did not bother asking them to fix it until checkout. Overall I would come back again.
My room was improperly, cleaned, there were still poop stains on the toilet seat. There was a lot of dust surrounding the bed. There was also here both around the bed and in the bathroom. The walls are super thin – heard the people upstairs going at it all night long. Looks like the staff who are supposed to be cleaning the rooms Do not do their job properly. Would not recommend staying here, not even for a one night stay. The front staff were amazing.
After much research, we decided on this Point A Kensington hotel based on 3 main things: 1) it is an easy walking distance to Earls Court Underground Station which connected to the Tube both into London and to Heathrow Airport, 2) the reviews about the amazing staff (all were wonderful) and 3) the size and price of the room. By American standards, they are quite small, but if you are just a happy couple looking for a home base while exploring London and the UK, this is an excellent choice.
