HORRIBLE - STAY AWAY!!
We booked this so-called 4 star hotel for a weekend in London. The room was supersmall and dirty. The windows were moldy and the bathroom disgusting. We decided to give it a try after all but I woke up early saturday morning from a spring feather coming up from the mattress. Went to the reseption and was shown 3-4 other rooms to which we could change but each just as dirty and smelly. I have tried to get in touch with the management for 3 months now with no response. I will never go back and reccomend to stay away.

Exactly what we needed
We had 1 night in London to see a performance in Royal Albert Hall, we needed a triple room which isn't easy to find in London. This hotel provided that plus is on a bus route direct to Albert Hall so was perfect for our needs. The room was comfortable and functional, breakfast was decent, staff were excellent.

Had a great stay at the Seraphine Kensington Olympia Hotel in October. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They do a nice little breakfast each morning for getting coffee/tea, juice, and toast/fruits. The location is very convenient for using the metro system or even walking many places.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was really hot and the windows can’t be opened so it was a bit of an uncomfortable nights sleep. Despite that the room was a nice size and had everything I needed for my stay. I would visit again as it is perfectly situated for shops, restaurants and Holland Park.
