Arrived at the start of the heatwave! Receptionist very helpful when I asked to drop off my bag before check in which went smoothly when I got back a few hours later. Room..allocated basement room, now, usually it would've been a deal breaker, not a fan but courtyard side so thought it would be quieter than facing Cronwell Rd so went with it. Nice enough, bit tatty around edges but comfy bed & smart bathroom. When you walk in the smell wasn't pleasant in there tbh..not sure what that was about but the air con was such a wonder I tried to get used to it & sprayed nice things to help! Free machine coffee & pastries available to guests during the afternoon which I thought was a good touch. The lift..they need to sort smell in there oh m'days! Took the stairs to avoid it, that bad! Overall, handy location, good reception & I'd probably stay again for the value

A functional hotel, ideally located, and great for a few nights. The location though is directly on the Cromwell Road. It is very noisy if you stay at the front of the hotel.

Unfortunately, my stay was not what I expected.

When I arrived, I was initially given a basement room, even though there were rooms available on the 5th floor. After a lengthy discussion, the hotel eventually moved us to a room on the 5th floor.

The room was not as clean as it should have been, as there were visible hairs on the carpet.

Another issue was the excessive noise from the room next door. Throughout the night, there were different men coming and going, along with very loud intimate activity that made it difficult to sleep. The following day, the guest next door was also speaking loudly on the phone and laughing for extended periods.

Overall, I had a very unpleasant experience. Due to the cleanliness issues and the lack of a peaceful environment, I would not recommend this hotel and would not stay here again.

Great value mid-tier hotel in Kensington area of central London. Had a clean, spacious room; bit of road noise but to be expected in London. Really helpful front of house staff and good value buffet breakfast. Convenient for Hyde Park, the museums, and Knightsbridge (Harrods). Underground station a few minutes walk away too. Would stay again if looking for this part of the city.

Pros:

Air condition is excellent

They had a room available and let us check in early

Cons:

The bathrooms are visibly moldy, so much so that I felt sick the entire time I was there and my son's skin condition flared up.

We switched rooms and they said they'd inspected the new one for mold... but the ceiling in the bathroom was speckled in mold and the floors and shower were also very gross.

If you have any issues with mold, proceed with extreme caution. It's one of the moldiest hotels I've stayed in.

I have used the K Hotel before, located a few minutes walk from the Gloucester Road Underground.

Booked here as this is a pleasant 15-minute brisk walk to the iconic Royal Albert Hall.

The rooms always look immaculate, this was double room, on the 4th Floor, spacious and modern lighting, the room has drinks station to make tea/coffee, a safe and spacious hanging, the bathroom is always warm thank to the heated towel rail, with large shower, that has rainfall and handheld modes.

Locally there are a number of restaurants and amenities, as well

with a great range of shops only minutes away.

The hotel is centrally located in South Kensington. The hotel is a few blocks away from the metro station and only a few stops away from all the major attractions. Also, there are plenty of shopping and dinning options nearby.

Unfortunately, the location of this hotel is the only good thing about it. The hotel is rundown and in desperate need of a remodel. My room smelled like cigarettes mixed with air freshener. The towels felt like sandpaper and so did the toilet paper. The room was cleaned every day so that was nice. But overall, there aren't many good things I could say about this hotel.

I was concerned reading previous reviews however we were totally delighted with our stay. The value for money, how close we were to everything,tubes etc brilliant, yes the room was smallish however we were in it only a short time. Late at night and away first thing in London all day for 3 days. How they managed to tidy our room after we left was amazing as 4 females we really had a lot of stuff to step through to tidy, fresh towels daily. I would recommend

Rooms were clean and bathrooms were gorgeous and recently renovated.

Breakfast is very poor. Basic cereals, only almond and soya milk available for dairy intolerant guests. Turkey rashers and chicken sausages only. Cold mushrooms and average hash browns. Tea and coffee out of a machine. There is a selection of baked goods but the hot food counter is very lacking. Breakfast is not substantial enough to satisfy hunger.

Stag were lovely and very obliging.

Hotel in great location and very near tube station.

The room was far too warm, even with the window open it was uncomfortably warm.

Last minute Cyber Monday booking for a concert trip. Happened to check in shortly after check in opened. The allocated room was ground floor road facing, which I thought 'ah well, bad luck'. We later visited the bathroom and found it to be an accessible room. At that stage we needed to leave and didn't raise with reception. In any event I find rasing an issue quite stressful But the room was not as expected. Raised the matter with reception at the next useful opportunity. Fair to say that we didnt reach a common understanding: me saying it's not a room that I expected, them saying it's a double room allocated as available (which I get), me saying it warranted a fuller explanation at check in, them not seeing that being relevant as the website photo is just an example and that our room is comparable, me saying it's a modified room, and not as expected, and not at all like the photo, them saying should have raised at the time, me saying that it's not easy when you are looking for a relaxed start to your trip. I got the impression that the onus on me was to complain at the outset. In which case it is my conclusion that I should be, which isn't a way I wish to be expected to behave. I remain disappointed with the visit, and wasn't offered any further redress/discussion. My fault it seems. It's difficult to reject a room and then potentially be left without accomodation, all within a very short time period. I didn't feel looked after. I

Breakfast has cereals toast cakes and hot fried tomatoes scrambled eggs chicken sausages turkish bacon hash browns mushrooms you can ask for a poached or fried egg also machine for making coffee and hot chocalate. Staff were very friendly change of clean towels and bedding even though only there for 2 nights would recommend as a good point for visiting the west side of london within walking distance of nat hist museum and science museum.

BED BUGS & STAINED SHEETS:
Unfortunately I cannot recommend this hotel as there were bed bugs in my room, specifically on the bed and curtains. After multiple conversations with the hotel staff they swapped my room, which took around an hour and I ended up getting to sleep at 02:30.
I am covered in bites on my legs and will have to quarantine my belongings to ensure the bed bugs do not enter my home.
There were also stains and hair on the sheets.
I was not issued an apology and had to insist on a new room.
For the price and the cleanliness there a better hotels available. The area around the hotel however is very convenient.

The only thing I would say is because it was an old building, sound from the corridor and people walking down nearby stairs could be heard.
