    “Excellent Location and Outstanding Hospitality”

    We had a lovely stay at Ellen Kensington and would happily recommend it to others visiting London. The location is excellent. Earls Court Underground Station is just a short walk away, making it very convenient for exploring London. There are also plenty of supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, and shops nearby, which made the stay even more convenient. The highlight of this hotel is definitely the staff. From the reception team to the breakfast staff, everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely considerate. Their customer service really stood out. I had not added breakfast when I made the original booking, and my enquiry about adding it later went unanswered. However, when we arrived, the reception staff were incredibly helpful and added breakfast for us at the same price. This small gesture showed that they truly care about their guests and providing good service. The breakfast was a great and convenient addition to our stay. The spread was good, with a nice variety of options to start the day. The room was clean, compact, and recently renovated. While it was on the smaller side, it was functional and comfortable for our needs. There was no kettle in the room, which would have been a nice addition, but this was only a minor inconvenience. The air conditioning worked well, which was especially appreciated during our stay. The hotel also has a lift. It is a little slow, and we joked that it might be the slowest lift in the world — but in a fun way, and it certainly did the job! Overall, Ellen Kensington offers a fantastic location, comfortable rooms, and exceptional hospitality. The friendly and caring staff make a real difference to the experience. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and welcoming place to stay in London.

    This was a lovely smart hotel with all the facilities I expect of a good hotel. The room was air conditioned which was a blessing in the hot London weather. The bed was super comfortable. The breakfast was very good. I would describe the hotel as being in Earl’s Court rather than Kensington though

    “Great spot for Quenns tennis”

    Smart hotel with nice bar area and quiet location. Bed was firm but comfortable and the pillows and towels were lovely. Fridge and Nespresso machine were very welcome

    “Fabulous stay ”

    A lovely hotel in a great location - only 2 minutes walk from Earl’s Court tube station. Located in a lovely side street, with our room at the front of the hotel overlooking a small park space. Room was fresh, light and clean, with toiletries provided in the bathroom. Breakfast offered a good choice, with pastries, cereals, cold meats and cheese as well as the usual hot breakfast offerings. Friendly and welcoming staff, and I will definitely stay again.
