    Great value hotel
    Helpful and co-operative staff, clean room, well located for exactly what we wanted near to Hyde Park and Bayswater High Street. We were particularly happy that we could leave luggage there all day with no problems.

    Lovely stay!
    My fiancé and I stayed at this property during our first ever visit to London. It was clean, well kept, and I could tell our bathroom was recently upgraded. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. The hotel is so quiet, I wondered if anyone else was staying there with us! The peace…

    Good rooms, great location, poor breakfast service

    Nice Hotel Stay
    We stayed at Kensington Gardens Hotel for five nights in June 2018. Check-in was easy enough next door at the adjoining hotel. They gave you an actual key (not a key-card) with a room number attached to it. This made it hard to fit in a pocket, but we made it work. Our hotel…

    Hello I just booked on December 20 a single room in Kensington Hotel Gardens . Can you tell me if the hotel reception is open 24 hours a day or if you have to pick up the key at the phoenix hotel located across the street. Thanks for your answer
    Hi. Reception isn't open 24 hours but sister hotel Phoenix next door is and no problem dropping off or picking up keys. They have a board specifically for KHG keys so process is quick.

    Just stayed there. Super-friendly reception. They are open from 8a-5p. After 5p, you have to drop off or pick up your key from the Phoenix Hotel, just a few doors down. Not an inconvenience at all.

    Can someone tell me the easiest and least expensive way to get to the hotel from the Gatwick airport? Thanks in advance!
    BTW Tube is Metro or Subway in London English, Gatewick express is a direct train from the Gatwick airport to the City. You can purchise all tickets online in advance. And then just showing your QR codes.
