Best Hidden Gem in Kensington
Absolutely loved my room and its quaint little patio. The room and bathroom were huge and well appointed. Perfect location minutes from the tube, in the heart of it all. Staff were friendly and accommodating. This is my new home in London.

Position was excellent - within walking distance of many eateries and transportation. The staff were friendly and helpful, able to assist with the many questions of new travellers. Despite being on a main road, you could not hear the traffic at all. Bed was comfortable. Room quite small however, and some fixtures need fixing. Otherwise an excellent stay.

Great room (superior double) with plenty of space. An iron and ironing board wouldve been a great addition. Bathroom was a little small, very difficult to use rhe sink as all the towels and gowns prevented me fully opening the door. Shower was warm, mini bar fridge was a bit small/packed so couldnt put your own things in unless you removed so.e of the stuff already in it. Bad staining on the carpet whoch besides the older windows was the only minor issue. Great location for nearby transport and food/pubs. Area seemed safe for london too

We had a great stay at the Rockwell! Lovely property, very clean and comfortable, excellent location right near Earl's Court Road restaurants and tube stop, and also a short walk to Kensington High Street. The back garden is a nice place to sit for a little fresh air.

Excellent hotel in a good location (very quiet at night which was a plus), only a 5 minute walk to Earl’s Court tube station with plenty of cafes and restaurants around! Not far from the V&A too! We booked the garden room which is located at the back of the hotel and pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was as well as having our own private patio area. Super service from friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely book to stay here again next time we’re in London! :)

Great little spot
Room was good, small (as expected) but comfortable. I was surprised by how worn out and frayed the towels were. The staff were lovely. My room was right next to the elevator, so got a bit of noise/vibration from that but it wasn't terrible. Otherwise, the AC unit provides excellent background white noise.
