We were three couples during three nights. Request rooms of the fifth plant, I was fortunate because these rooms are dirty but 'reformed' recently. In my case, the shower had a hole and there were leaks for the light of the WC (first night was raining outside... and in our rooms). My partners 'suffered' rooms of the second plant. Horrible.... more

I stayed here as I had missed my flight and desperatly needed cheap accommodation in central London. For 45 Pounds p/ night you can't expect too much (I guess). We were put on the 5th floor, and amazingly enough the lift was not working. I had to carry my very heavy bag up 5 storeys. The stairs itself was in... more

I travel to London several times a year for business and I always try to stay at a different hotel to check them out. This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was musty, the bed sagged and we thought we were going to fall through. The shower was so tiny that only a child could... more

I know that I only paid just less than a hundred quid, but what an appalling place to stay, I would not recommend this place to any living thing. There were a number of things I complained about but it all fell on deaf ears and nothing was done about it, as soon as i opened the room door, i... more

After reading terrible reviews, we were dreading our stay at the Kensington Edwardian. It was, however, the cheapest hotel we could find and being 18 and skint, it seemed our best option. And so we took the risk and were ... pleasently surprised!! It was clean + tidy, quite spacious and the staff were very helpfull. We were not distubed... more

I'll begin with the negative. We booked a double bed and were given two twin size beds. Our room had a nice view of the street, which is a nice neighborhood. However, with no air conditioning and no fans, it was very hot. If you opened the door to the balcony, the sound of cars on the street below kept... more

The reviews for this hotel were terrible and we thought that it had been a big mistake to book here, but we were pleasantly surprised. We had a superior double and single room and they were both clean and serviced on a daily basis. The bathrooms and towels were clean and there was hot water at all times. The staff... more

We stayed here in late March. We upgraded to a superior room for are stay. Yes, it is a european hotel which means it is old and small. The superior rooms are renovated. the bathroom was clean along with the floors. it was cozy and worth the money. It was close to pubs. more
