Latest 5 reviews of Grosvenor Kensington Hotel
Major Renovations Needed
The only nice thing I can say about this place is that staff is very friendly and helpful. Apart from that the rooms were in a horrible state of disrepair. Stains on walls, light bulbs out, TV didn't work, Internet didn't work, sink was cracked, tiles were missing in bathroom, beds gave me bruises from the bad springs popping out ( seriously not kidding), room was very dark, paint makes you think of pepto bismo, and elevator button was a serious hazard issue.
Sorry to say but for the money I have stayed in better in London.
Needs closing for complete refit, worst place we have ever stayed in.
Do not stay here! Too hot, the lights were broken in our room. The bathroom was a death trap. cracked sink, crack went right through the basin. Shower was rusted up. The floor tiles were broken and raised, we put the mat over so that we didnt' hurt our feet. Our windows were rotten and there is no double glazing, very noisy and we were on the fourth floor. The breakfast was very poor, no choice and overcooked sausage and bacon.
How this establishment has three stars fails us. The location is good and that is the only good thing about it.
terrible hotel... only decent thing is tube very near by... otherwise horrible...
i used to read these and wounder why bother... now i know why... i searched for ages online looking for good advice in regard to hotel, good value for money, good location, clean and reasonably priced... only got 1 out og the above.. the tube is very close by and this made it great fot travelling for shopping and going out otherwise...terrible hotel..
we first arrive, my sister and a friend... booked a triple room, the bathroom had scum on the bath, and the hand basin was blocked, there was a horrible musty smell in the room, we then complained and the girl at reception was very nice and offered us another room, which we took, we were hiven a larger room with sliding door and a balcony , the balcony was also in use for our neighbourin rooms, it was one big stripe, after we had returned from dinner we realised our sliding door was broke and hence our room had ben accesable while we were out.. not safe.. there was also another enntrabce to room with just a nail in keyhole to prevent it from being opened on outside.
we then complained again and we were waiting in the lobby for roughly 40 mins while another room was orgainised... this room was ok in comparasion to the other two.. the window was broke again but had being bolted properly... the tiles were cracked on the bathroom floor and personally found this to be dangerous...needed paint and wood on sliding/balcony for rotten...
while we were waitin in the hotel a gentleman came downsatirs and also complained aboutnoise levels..
we were offered another hotel the next morning via the manager.. who was going to do it through the agency we booked it with...
pesonally i thin this should not be as high a star rating.. the croissants were stale that i ate for breakfast...
if you are lookin for a hotel i would recommed you stick to marble arch area or hyde park.. from viewing the city these locations were pretty good and from what hotels we passed on the bus tour alot of hotels looked nice... from the outside but as i found out its on the inside that counts...
this was an awful hotel... keep away.. photos to back this up..
Great location but stuffy room
We have just returned from a 2 night stay at this hotel. We booked this hotel because breakfast was included in the price and it was close to all the natural history museum, science museum and V&A. We were certainly not disappointed with the hotels location as its literally round the corner from all of the museums and only a 15 min walk from the royal albert hall, hyde park and kensington gardens. The tube station is just across the road (althogh we did not use the tube) and there are plenty of places to eat.
Our room was on the ground floor. We were pleasantly suprised by the size of the room and the high ceilings. The room was at the front of the building (the hotel is on a busy street) but we didnt hear any traffic noise as the windows must have been trippled glazed! We could however hear the distant rumble of the tube train every few minutes but it did not disturb us.
However, after reading previous reviews i was not suprised to find the air con was broken. A table fan was provided which helped a little but not much. The hotel and its roooms are very stuffy and hot and made me feel uncomfortable at times. In the morning i felt very groggy from the lack of fresh/cool air. The bed was a little hard for my liking and we found we did not really get a good night sleep during our stay. I think if you are prone to hot flushes it would not be a good idea to stay here, although i found the temperature to be tolerable as the majority of our stay was spent outside the hotel room.
The buffet breakfast had a great selection of food. We had a cooked breakfast each morning which was a treat for us and was very tasty. The breakfast area was the only place where they had air con and one guest even complained that it was too cold which i found strange!
The staff were friendly but i did have difficulty understanding their european accents. The lady at reception was very helpful in giving us directions for the local area and also provided us with a map.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would book here again purely because of the location and buffet breakfast option that other hotels in the area did not provide at such a good price.
very large rooms & close to tube station
very large room, tube station 1/2 block away on Circle line, 3 restaurants across the street.
In London getting this size room for the price is not easy. We had a king bed, couch & chairs in main room with a bunk bed in other area of room. bathroom is good size. Also if you go in summer ask for a fan there is no air- con.
One draw back no hotel parking. Street parking is VERY expensive and hard to find. So don't take a car use the tube.
