I took a short solo trip, saying at NOX Kensington Gardens for a couple of nights and arrived before check-in which is at 3pm so left my bags behind the reception desk for a short time. I was given a very clean room with windows which was a nice surprise since I booked a windowless room. It was fairly quiet and the only noise I heard was the cleaners shouting in the morning. The room was cleaned daily and the location of the hotel is nice - being fairly close to Queensway station and Kensington Gardens but not amongst the hustle. A couple of things I should mention are the kitchenette lights which are motion censored and only stay on for about five seconds. Secondly, there is no dishcloth or anything similar for drying up etc. I know these are both small things but they make a difference over the course of a few days. Finally the charge for a late check out (from 11am onwards) seemed very steep. Aside from that, the staff were nice and the hotel felt safe. I would recommend it if you’re looking for a place to stay in that area.
