This hotel is by far outstanding for the price and location! the arestaff friendly, it's coupled with efficient service, great facilities and contemporary and chic rooms with great corporate prospects! I saw some of the mixed reviews on this website and was a little doubtful with everything I had read; however, from staying there this weekend it has completely changed my mind!
I had a few special requests as my partner and I are both vegetarians and there were a few other requests also. The lady at reservations was not only very efficient and prompt in her email responses, but was extremely resourceful and did
everything to help us! She had even got in touch with various other departments in the hotel in order for our requests to be satisfied. It's so easy to find, literally a 2-3 minute walk from the station away from the hustle and bustle at the end of the street in a quiet location but convenient enough to be near High Street Kensington station and a range of shops! The check in was relatively simple with extremely friendly staff and a concierge service (to check your bags in early) which was great! We had a room a little larger than the standard, but even seeing a friend's standard room looked to be an average size especially for the rates and location!Our room in fact was great, it had a little seating area also with a table for breakfast where you can either have continental sent to your room (where they even let you pick what you want and send a paper within 10 minutes of ordering!) or the English we had paid for with great service, hot food, loads of choice in quite a nice large restaurant room (senses).The room had a very clean and well decorated shower/bath as well as a Fridge, Ironing Board, a lot of cupboard and walking space and a desk with a nice view out to the street (not sure if Fridge is in the standard rooms though!).TV had a range of movies. The hotel also has quite an exquisite in dining menu which provides a range of cuisine for all different tastes and preferences.
The restaurant does serve good food with an emphasis on the value for money, and do take special requests into consideration as the staff are generally quite friendly (and actually want to be there). There is a strong sense of community feeling amongst the staff, which was nice to see.
It has a lot of spaces just to chill out including the iBay (computer area) and various seating areas around the hotel with quite a modern cosy style. The corporate rooms are great, especially for the value for money and especially as one cannot even hear the outside corridors once inside (which is brilliant!) and can accommodate even large groups of people.
They also have swimming pool and spa facilities which by far is a cut above the rest of some of the hotels one sees in central London. it is edging now towards definitely four and nearly five star as it provides a wonderful service and provided me with a great weekend. Even though my partner was ill throughout the night, the night staff at Housekeeping, Reception, Room Service collaborated together to do everything possible to help my partner (medicines, hot packs etc...) whilst keeping in contact to let us know of the progress which was helpful to say the least! This hotel has great prospects for corporate clients due to the location, for young singles looking to have a great weekend, families due to the leisure facilities, older travellers due to the general efficiency of the staff and generally everyone as the hotel can accommodate for all types of people and still provide a 5* service!After my stay, I shall definitely be staying there once more and shall post some pictures up of the hotel once I have uploaded them from my camera.I would definitely recommend it, as it is such a friendly hotel with great facilities in such a convenient location with good transport links.
They will definitely expect to see me again as a valued customer in the near future! Theme: HotelPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: Very safe, clean, friendly, convenient (High St Kensington Station, Olympia + Earls Court right around the corner)

 Wright's Lane in front of
hotel by SaraM19762001
First off it's in a terrific area- Kensington and very close to the Kensington High St. tube! Just a walk down Wright's Lane is High St. where there are alot of shops, restaurants, etc.
Second, the hotel staff was extremely nice and helpful. Being my first time to London and Europe in general, they answered all of my crazy questions and were very polite (which I felt most Engish were).
Third, this hotel has a wide array of restaurants and food choice. I would reccomend eating breakfast in the Carvery (the main restaurant) and lunch in Marlowe's Bar/PUb (had a terrific chicken sandwhich there) and dinner somewhere out in London.
Now, I do have a complaint, though it didn't bother me in the least but may be important to you. The rooms were small, but very clean indeed. I wasn't in my room hardly enough for it to bother me and was happy just to have a nice comphy bed at the end of a long day of sight seeing.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS HOTEL!
Though I heard it has a nice pool and spa, I never had the time to check it out or make use of it.
I loved having the tea service in the room!And like I mentioned earlier, the food was very good!

Turn down Wright's Lane and walk to the end of the street and you'll run smack into it!Website: kensingtonclosehotel.co.uk
