I have to say that after looking at some of the reviews on here, I was a little worried about staying here, but actually, I was pleasantly surprised. The room, although a little small was comfortable, airy and had a double bed, the bathroom, although again small, was clean and in good working order. The bed linen was comfortable, and... more

In a good location; 5 minute walk from Olympia underground station off Kensington High Street. The staff were nice and friendly but you had to ask for everything; towels, working hairdryer, toilet paper. They just weren't on top of running an inner-city hotel, even a budget one like this. The bed was rock like. There was no room servicing. We... more

There are lots of reasons why I keep coming back and these include the fact that the location is great for me, its in a really quiet street (not always the case in London), the staff are friendly and the bedding and towels are always clean... more

Looking for a budget hotel in Kensington, London, I booked the Centaur Hotel through their own website. Stupidly, I forgot to check with TripAdvisor first! Once I'd looked at the reviews online, I decided that I was not prepared to risk getting such bad service so decided to cancel the booking. I checked the small print of the reservation confirmation... more

We stayed there last weekend... and the experience was terrible. The rooms are really dirty...we even saw a rat! :-( The breakfast was ridiculous and when we complained to the manager he was just really rude. Definetely, one of the worst hotels that we have ever been!:-( more
