Be aware

The room was small. The layout of the bathroom/toilet was very poor. The food was awful and the staff spoke very poor English. We won’t be coming back

Room was really small. Air conditioning was not working. Complained and received a small fan. and someone came to work on it the next day. Worked for that night and then did not work again. Complained again, no one came. I had to tell them to fix it or move us to another room. We moved that day. The new room was much better. Larger and AC! Still nowhere to hang your towel, and no electrical plugs by bed. NO LAUNDRY FACILITIES! People were nice and polite but I would not stay for more than a night.

It was convenient, and it provided a place to crash. But the AC didn’t fully work, the bathroom is really small and the sink didn’t drain well. It also took a long time for the bath water to get hot before a shower. But the restaurant downstairs was convenient and delicious, it’s close to a tube station, and there are plenty of walkable restaurants

Radisson Blue Kensington is a good value hotel. The small room, bath, etc., was expected and worked well for me. However, if you are a big person, you may want to consider getting a larger room.

Tired rooms need update

The hotel is well situated and the public spaces are fine. The room though was noisy (overlooking a main road). Surfaces were sticky (a desk with deteriorating varnish), there was dirty water in bath which didn’t drain well, no toilet brush and no sockets near the bed. Against this, the breakfast was good and the bed very comfortable.
