We had an excellent stay at Hotel Xenia. Great location, incredibly helpful and kind staff, and a clean and lovely room. We have already recommended it to some friends who are planning a London trip for later this year!

We were there for eight days and they generously accommodated an early check-in, helped us move rooms easily when we realized we needed more space, and even helped re-route a package that we had previously scheduled. It's very close to Earl's Court station and walking distance to so many wonderful neighbourhoods.

The Hotel Xenia was able to accommodate me last minute when another hotel had some cleanliness issues. I'm SO glad I made the switch. I stayed for a week at Hotel Xenia, and the staff made me feel so welcomed and cared for. The location is perfect, with easy access to buses and the tube. I also loved being able to walk and run through Kensington Gardens with ease. Make sure to take advantage of the breakfast attached to the hotel! Some of the best baked goods I had on my trip.

The advert for this hotel is misleading
It says there is an indoor pool
However it is the use of David Lloyd gym 5 mins walk
There is no bath either which I always ask for
The pool is the main reason I booked this hotel

The welcome my wife and I received when we arrived at the hotel for check-in was amazing, something like I’ve never experienced before. So friendly and all staff couldn’t do enough for us. Complimentary coffee was brought to our room by a lovely guy called Lit. Additional milk was delivered to our room within seconds. Thoroughly recommend this hotel mainly for its service, but also for its location.

We took advantage of the lounge area in the evenings. Location is perfect. You are between two tube stops - Gloucester and Earls Court and you are in walking distance to the V&A and History Museum. It is easy to walk here and this area felt very safe. We would definitely stay here again.

The best London Hotel of all time

We arrived early to the hotel, we were given rooms before checkin time. The concierge was wonderful. The rooms were great. The shower pressure and temperature were perfect. The pillow were so so. But the bed and comforter were pleasant. I want to recognize Albino for making our breakfast spectacular every morning. He went above and beyond to make sure our breakfast was to our satisfaction and that was the most important start of our day. We will definitely only come back to this hotel. Walking distance to Earl’s Point to get the picadilly and district lines. Great restaurants and bars nearby, namely Kensington Arms, which had great service and food as well.

Why does Hotels.com call Xenia \"fabulous\"?!?

Our room was minuscule, dark, and freezing. NB: Your room thermostat does nothing. It's for show. They control the temperature centrally--and the heat was off. They kept saying they'd turn it on but didn't do that until night time. I think that's how they get you to leave the room, since there's no breakfast to get you out, so the cleaners could come in. It took over two hours of begging after we first got to the room, before they gave us a small space heater. Since the room was so small, the tiny space heater heated it quickly--until a breaker blew and the outlets went out. The cleaning people didn't clean the tub and were circumspect about sharing routine toiletries. Desk personnel were unwilling to loan scotch tape so we could wrap a Christmas gift. The only positives were: Prosecco in lobby while you wait for your room, a bowl of apples in lobby, plenty of hot water for a bath, and pleasant-enough staff. I recommend you go to this hotel's sister hotel instead,the Kensington Marriott. That one is just across the street. They're both Marriots. That one has larger, warmer, brighter rooms, a minifridge, etc., nicer personnel, and a comfortable executive room business lounge--and they will loan you tape. At that hotel, you can control your room's temperature and find places to put your luggage and personal toiletries. Imagine that!

Room too small for 2 people

Rooms are extremely small for 2 people. Bed and small table took up 70-80% of the room. We had a slanted wall that made walking around one side the bed nearly impossible. Air conditioning was not working and had 1 small window to open for airflow. Please read the fine print on room size as none of the pictures on the website adequately represent the size of our room.

Not quite 4-star feeling. Perhaps 3.5 stars

Absolute misrepresentation on their website. I don't think it is worthy of 4-star status. No mini-fridge in the room. When I made my booking, I had I asked for a room far from the elevator. When I arrived, they gave me one right in front of the elevator door. Check-out took forever . They had two receptionists at the front desk tending to an American lady (who apparently had had a serious problem with the hotel service) for 20 minutes; meanwhile, they kept me waiting. They could have had one receptionist deal with the customer and the other receptionist with me. Very poorly planned. I would normally not complain, but I was in a rush and could not be waiting at 12 noon. Overall, not a nice feeling. Staff needs to be better trained, both for welcoming guests and check-out.

Breakfast wasn’t included which was disappointing for the cost, but the ability to park was well worth it. Not only do they offer nearby parking at the grocery store garage, (parking is hard to find in London) but the rate was very reasonable. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and has dining options and the hotel is near a tube station. Door man could have been a bit more helpful but desk staff was very friendly.
