Typical
Customer Reviews
Below are some fairly typical reviews from customers that have stayed
at the Premier Travel Inn Kensington. They are independent viewpoints
and not necessarily the view of this web site.
"Our family of four stayed there for two nights on arrival from
the States. The room was tiny -- U.S. fire codes probably wouldn't
allow occupancy by four people. The room was a bit worn and could
have used a fresh coat of paint. The hotel was quite a lot more "budget"
than we'd anticipated (or as it appears on the website). Our room
was on the far side of the street, so coming and going always took
a while, but that wasn't a deal-breaker. On the positive side, the
location was good. Earl's Court Road was just a block away, with the
tube station and a good selection of restaurants. The breakfast buffet
at the hotel was ample for our needs.
One
other note: we smelled cigarette smoke each time we got off the elevator
at our floor, which was odd because the entire property is non-smoking.
On the second night, I was disturbed by a constant smell of cigarettes
in both the room and bath, which seemed to come from the next room.
I reported it as we checked out but never received an apology or other
follow up from the staff.
I'd
recommend it to a friend only if they were looking for a central London
location at a very low cost."
"The location was excellent, only a 2-3 minute walk from the
Earl's Court Underground stop. The staff was fantastic. They bent
over backwards to provide good service, especially in the restaurant.
After long days of being on your feet sightseeing, we found this a
very nice way to end the day by just having dinner there. The food
was good, and the service excellent. We also found it to be very convenient
to have the buffet breakfast there as well. We stayed here for 5 nights
at the beginning of our trip, then again for another 4 nights at the
end of our trip before returning home. My daughter fell very ill the
last few days, too sick to leave the hotel. The staff kept asking
me how she was doing, and I even had one of the waitresses offer to
go to the drug store for me. How sweet is that? She got free tickets
to the London Eye for that kind gesture! We couldn't use them anyway,
since my daughter was too ill to go. If we ever go back to London,
we'd definitely stay there again. Our rooms were very clean and updated,
the beds were very comfy, and very reasonably priced considering it
was London. The staff was great! . "
"Location is great (in a nice area, lots of restaurants and very
close to the tube) but the hotel disappoints when it comes to details:
- shower pressure is too weak, it was a struggle to shower everyday
- ameneties are basic which is understandable but things like the
complimentary kettle in teh room was too old and grubby to use.
- the restaurant prices are very high compared to what you get and
not so well organized.
O otherwise
the hotel is fine in terms of room size, cleanliness, friendliness
of staff." |
