My family had a wonderful stay at London Marriott Hotel Kensington (our 2nd time staying). The location is ideal—conveniently close to the grocery store, laundromat, several wonderful restaurants, great shops, all within walking distance. The staff were consistently warm, professional, and attentive, which truly elevated the experience. Our executive suite was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, providing a relaxing retreat after long days out. The daily breakfast was exceptional and a highlight of our stay, and access to the executive lounge added even more value, with complimentary coffees, beverages, and a lovely afternoon buffet. I will absolutely return to this hotel (yet again) and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting London.

Pros: clean, big room, bathroom good, big TV
Cons: mattress wasn’t comfortable, heating up the room turns on a noisy fan.

The “public” wifi works in the room on the 1st floor (who knows about higher floors). But the “guest” wifi where you enter your name and room number did not work, it just presents an endlessly flickering “connecting…” page.

Clean and decent sized room. All amenities other than a microwave. Most beneficial was the location of the hotel, centrally located to tube stations and major attractions! Staff in the first shift were very helpful and efficient, however in the second shift, we found them less knowledgeable or willing to help.

Really great, loved location, room, service, overall hotel felt just what we wanted. Only issue was the air conditioning in the room wasn't great, it was too warm. I'd be hesitant to rebook based on this - it was tolerable with the window open and 3c outside, during summer it would a real problem.

We enjoyed our stay at the Marriott. Very helpful staff. The room was comfortable and the lighting and decor were elegant and stylish.
The exec lounge provides very nice facilities with light snacks and even light meals available inclusive.
The bed was comfortable though I think ours had a mattress topper which you might have to ask for.
The hotel is very well located with a tube station on the Piccadilly line and 2 supermarkets nearby.
Despite being on a main road, the rooms in the hotel are very quiet.
The gym is actually a working gym with a good variety of facilities, not just a weights room tacked on.
Recommended.

Room was clean and bed was comfortable, staff were nice although some struggle with English?
Biggest let down was the tvs only having free view and no option to cast or sign into streaming apps. The shower is small so if your over 6ft your going to have to shower crouching.
A bit disappointed after booking a suite for £600 per night.

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. This hotel is so conveniently located- a short walk to the Piccadilly tube line, great French coffee restaurants, Museum of Natural History, V&A Museum, Hyde Park and many more. The staff is so wonderful and the hotel is very clean. My only comment is that one of 2 elevators was broken the whole week we were there! Not an issue for us on the 3rd floor because we took the stairs but I can see this as a big issue for the folks staying on the 8th floor! Overall, I would stay here again the next time I'm in London!

The hotel was clean and well cared for. We chose the breakfast option in our package and it did not disappoint. They had everything you would need, and want, for breakfast. They even offer fresh made omelets, and poached eggs. They also offered gluten free options as well as gluten free bread. The room was clean and spacious, and housekeeping was second to none. The hotel was a short walk from Earls court underground (subway) station. The staff were friendly, courteous, and took care of our every whim. I highly recommend this hotel, especially if you like the quieter areas to stay in, and if you want to be treated right! I give this hotel two thumbs 👍👍 way up.

The air conditioning does not work. It was hotter in our room than outside. Unbearable - staff offered fans which circulated warm air. Many upset guests and no clear acknowledgement that the air condition is defunct. Location is nice but you must tube everywhere because nothing in terms of tourist attractions is close. Would not stay again.

Great location, safe area, nice room, great breakfast. I like having a restaurant on site for lunch or dinner if I need. Food was very good at the restaurant with good service. Breakfast was always well stocked and had variety. Sainsbury across the street, Waitrose close as well as Starbucks, Pret, Chipotle, Nando’s and many other restaurants. Close to two tube stations - Gloucester Road and Earl’s Court. Can easily walk to Kensington Palace or Natural History Museum. Not far to South Kensington restaurants and tube station also. Loved that they gave me two bottles of water each day! Comfortable room and bed with good ac. Only negative was that the front desk wasn’t always very friendly.

My stay at the Marriott Kensington was truly enjoyable and made my London Marathon experience and my birthday amazing. Every member of the staff took pride in their work, evident in their exceptional service and genuine hospitality. From check-in to departure, I felt warmly welcomed and well taken care of.

The breakfast offered a wonderful variety of good and healthy options, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. It was a great way to start each day of my stay.

My room was perfect, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. Housekeeping was efficient and attentive; whenever I requested a room refresh, they exceeded my expectations. The room was also conducive to work, with excellent Wi-Fi and a quiet atmosphere that allowed me to work with ease during my stay.

While the Executive Lounge provided a pleasant atmosphere, I found that the food options could be improved to match the high standard set by the rest of the hotel's amenities.

The location was ideal for exploring both inner London and its outskirts. With convenient access to multiple key locations, getting around the city was effortless.

Overall, the Marriott Kensington provided a delightful experience, making my trip to London even more special. Between the attentive staff, comfortable accommodations, and convenient location, my London Marathon experience, birthday, and work commitments were all seamlessly supported. I would certainly recommend it for both business and leisure travelers.

Terrific start to my month long holiday

From my arrival to departure this Hotel was amazing the staff were amazing a special thanks to the concierge he was polite and helpful.
Upon arrival 8am I was hoping to drop off my suitcase but my room was ready so they checked me and and advised to have. Long awaited shower and rest. This is exactly what I needed and although I had to change rooms as they couldn’t turn the heater down but nothing was too much trouble.
I would definitely recommend this you will not regret anything.
Breakfast had a good layout not over the top and chef was happy to cool your order.

They tried to get us to pay for breakfast when it was included for exec rooms and the exec lounge was limited to times and the coffee machine was broken. Quite a walk from the tube though the noise of tube trains below is obvious on lower floors (we were on 2). Disappointing considering the cost.

Old and dirty

We were “ upgraded” to a room on the 1 st floor because of king size bed. The room was very old, draw was missing on cupboard, bathroom very small and it was not cleaned properly. There were hairs on bathroom floor. We were at the end of the passage and there was a fishy smell in the passage leading to the bedroom. The breakfast had unhygienic atmosphere- the fruit was old, the omelette was average and the self service coffee machine kept overflowing and not attended to in time. The tables were not cleaned on time and we ended up eating the bread and cheese which felt safer. The experience was very disappointing for the price we paid and we will not be returning to this hotel.

stayed at London Marriott Hotel Kensington for 6 days from 2/29/24-3/7/24. Hotel is in a great location. There’s a grocery store right across the street (Sainsbury), a laundromat right next to the grocery store, and countless places to eat and shop within walking distance. The hotel itself is very nice and clean. The hotel staff were friendly and extremely accommodating - every time I stepped off the elevator the front desk staff had a warm smile and a hello. Concierge was awesome! That said, the one negative I can speak of is the long time it took to get food while eating in the hotel restaurant when we first arrived (and the nachos were literally a bowl of chips with a tiny bit of cheese). They did attempt to make up for the slow service by offering a complimentary glass of wine. Overall, me and my daughters had a great stay at this hotel and would most definitely stay again.

What I didn't like is I paid extra for the room (high floor) but didn't get what I expect and instead assigned me to the 2nd floor which is the lowest floor. I asked the front desk, and he explained that all floors after the ground floor are considered high floor. So, what is the point of paying extra? Although, in fairness the hotel is clean and safe.
