Residence Inn by Marriott London Kensington

Back to the city and its hustle and bustle! Location: 10/10 💯 Price: 10/10 💯 Service: 10/10 💯 Facilities: 10/10 💯

The room layout is a bit odd. The toilet is right next to the bed, and after a few days, you'll notice that the dampness and moisture from the bathroom can't dissipate because there's no ventilation. The kitchen is by the window, which can be opened for air, and it's separated from the bed by the bathroom. Facilities: The bathroom door doesn't close properly unless you prop it shut. The two elevators are tiny, and with so many guests, they frequently break down for repairs. Most people end up taking the stairs next door. The air conditioning, however, works well, quickly reaching the set temperature for both heating and cooling. Hygiene: Given the high occupancy, it's generally clean. However, the restaurant often struggles to clean up between guests. Environment: The hotel layout is quite compact, but the surrounding area is quiet. It's about a 5-minute walk to Tesco and a 15-20 minute walk to Holland Park, which has plenty of facilities for children to play. Service: The staff are generally very friendly, except for one cleaner who seemed a bit impatient.

The location is very convenient for city access, though it's about a 12-minute walk to the subway. All the staff are friendly, and the cleanliness is good. The breakfast is also quite satisfactory.

First time in London, and a friend recommended this hotel. The location is fantastic – there's a bus stop right outside, the tube station is about a 10-minute walk, and a Tesco is just 3 minutes away on foot. The most surprising thing was how good their breakfast was! Even though it's a pretty traditional English breakfast, the quality of everything was excellent. Definitely lives up to the Marriott name.

Perfect! Though the elevators can be a bit of a wait, especially when one is out of order. Other than that, this is probably an excellent choice for a Zone 1 hotel. Plus, it's very convenient to call an Uber for pick-up and drop-off.
