WESTBURY HOTEL KENSINGTON

With its ivied mews, row upon row of Poppins-esque white washed mansions, and placid garden squares, it's easy to see the charms of South Kensington. And with superb access to Hyde Park, Holland Park and Kensington Gardens, as well as the largely child-friendly and mostly free Museum Quarter (not to mention more major attractions like Royal Albert Hall) such charms are easy to make the most of. As welcoming and cosmopolitan as it is reserved and residential, South Kensington is always a hit with visitors.

Great Location

Great location. Less than 5 minutes walk to Earl court station. Plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance including Sainsbury. Loads bus serve the area. Nice staff with clean room. The not so good things, room is quite small, especially bathroom and shower. No soap or shampoo provided, just liquid body wash. No towel rail. Overall I would recommend here and would return but small room may not suit everyone.…

convenient and friendly Hotel

Typical London small hotel, very convenient, 5 minutes walk to Earls Court Tube, so handy for getting around. Friendly reception and free luggage storage so you can maximise your time. Very small rooms and our double was more like a three quarter bed. We got our two night stay at a reasonable price and it was fine for us but I wouldn't want to stay longer than that. No Air conditioning in our room so we had to sleep with the window open which let in external noise. It was clean , shower room was good and plenty of hot water.…

A mousehole in an excellent location for ca. £100 a night

Positives first: the location is excellent, mere minutes to Earls Court tube, or Sainsbury superstore. Natural History museum minutes away, lots of small eateries/cafes nearby. Friendly staff. Negatives: I traveled alone, the room given to me was so small,that Ihad to sleep diagonally on the wedged-in bed; (I am 6’2”) the bathroom could only be entered by squeezing atound the open door, then close the door to access the toilet or showrer stall; no hand towels or wash cloths, no towel rail, no shampoo only bottle soap; hairdryer niot working; no space for a wallet on the nighttable; no rack or space for my carry-on suitcase, had to step over it on the floor. But, as I said the location is excellent. Earls court tube offers great access to London city.…

It's just ok

Positives first, we love the location of the hotel. Just a few minutes walk from the Earl's Court Station and a strip of restaurants. The reception staff is nice. There's a safety box in the room so that's handy. They provided all-in-one liquid soap in the shower, for hair and body. Now the negatives. The worst one is that the shower is clogged. Every time we shower, there's a pool of water that's ankle-deep. The room and washroom are very tiny, good thing we only had one large suitcase and one hand-carry luggage so we were able to manage the space. Cleanliness is just OK. The room has an unpleasant smell of smoke. The beds were not very comfortable. Overall, we did not pay much for this one as we had booked it at last minute deal. Cheap, yes.. but I think you can find other better deals.…

Roger, you were taken to the wrong hotel. You posted a review on the Westbury Kensington page but this is NOT the Westbury that is a Starwood property (that one is the Westbury Mayfair). It looks like you were taken to the wrong hotel by your driver. I had to LOL at the mention of a fitness center. This place is a small no-frills hotel.

Is there a fridge in the room? What about the coffee corner - does it include coffee and teaspoons? Thanks in advance.

Hi no fridge in our room, and the coffee corner did not have spoons but did have coffee sachets.

Is it possible to store our suitcases for 5 days while we travel to Italy?

I'm not sure whether you would be able to store them for 5 days. They have storage space but I only used it for a few hours. You would need to ask the staff there!

could I book in early morning or after 5pm? is the reception manned 24hrs and is there a bus stop pretty near the hotel? how far would you say is it from oxford street in the city centre? many thanks for your help.

Reception is maned 24/7. Tube station to the left, very close. The bus 3min to the right, we liked to travel by bus, took a little longer, you might have to change to get to your destination but you see a lot from the bus. To Oxford street, 15min on train about 30min on bus depending on traffic.
