I have stayed at this hotel several occassions. The staff are very friendily/helpful and knowledgeble. The location is brilliant. 50yards from Gloucester Road tube station. Which is good, as i am a single traveller, coming back late at night after a show. Extremely handy for the museums. Some of the single rooms are on the small side. But when you... more

Must say, I'm a bit surprised by some of the current reviews! My best friend and I have just returned and stayed here for a total of 7 nights, over a two week period, with a Paris break inbetween. We had two different rooms over this period. The first room, was on the ground/reception level. Very roomy and comfortable. Two... more

We stayed at the Rydges Kensington Plaza when visiting London for an anniversary getaway and to take in a concert. The hotel just about hit the mark as somewhere warm to sleep but other than that it was a pretty disappointing experience. The room was incredibly small, smelly and old. I am trying really hard to think of any redeeming... more

The service was excellent from the reception staff to restaurant and bar staff to the room cleaners. The breakfasts were very good and the evening restaurant menu and service were also good. We have stayed in many hotels in different countries and we were more than happy with this one. We would certainly stay there again and would recommend it... more

I chose the hotel primarily because it was close to where my friends live. It was my first time staying at a London hotel and I didn't expect much. Everything turned out to be great - nice room, double bed, good view of the street, quiet and clean. It was also nice and warm. Location is superb as it is... more

I wanted to see a concert in the Royale Albert Hall, so I choose a hotel in walking distance. This hotel fits the bill and is also close to a good tubestation. The hotel looks very impressive from the outside and the reception area is also very luxurious. But it doesn't keep up the standard. In the corridors and lounge... more

After seeing the photos etc for this hotel I was slightly dissapointed when I arrived, I thought I had seen small hotel rooms in London however this had to be the smallest room I had ever seen, the bathroom was even smaller the hand basin was over the toilet bowl and even being a petite person I literally had to... more

Myself and my fioncee arranged a 2 night stay at the Rydges in Early January. We booked here because of the proximity to the tube, which is a 90 second walk. The hotel itself looks very grand from the outside, as you can tell from the photos, and gets worse from then on. The first problem came when we were... more
