Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Lovely staff."

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

6/10 Okay

"Dated but very clean room. Had to ask for the air con to be switched on as the window didn’t open and the room was very hot, but maintenance arrived promptly. Breakfast very busy but was fine and efficiently run. Staff pleasant and helpful. Good value budget hotel for an overnight stay in a great location. "

The Drey - Kensington, Earl's Court

6/10 Okay

"Basement room smelt musty or like moisture. Had to be changed rooms. Staff agreed it did smell. Moved to a new room. The room didn’t had any coffee cups. Also nowhere to put luggage, or anything really. The staff put towels on the bed and literally no where to put them other than the floor. Not well appointed. The staff were great though that’s the only saving grace. "
