Despite some minor drawbacks, we mostly enjoyed our 5-night stay at the Crowne Plaza Kensington. The hotel property and rooms were clean and comfortable. We chose this hotel for the double bed family rooms, which was surprisingly spacious. I really liked that breakfast was included so that was quite convenient and a peace of mind when starting our day. Location was superb as the hotel is located across the Gloucester tube station, half a block away from the hop-on hop-off bus stops, and a short walk to Harrods and other shops. My only issue was with housekeeping. Our room included two complimentary bottles of still water upon check-in. The bottles were replenished on the second day but were forgotten on the third, forth and fifth day. Perhaps it was because we had purchased additional bottles of still water (which were stored in the mini fridge) but that doesn't negate our entitlement to the complimentary water each day during our stay. My husband had to purchase two bottles from the front desk one evening at £2 a bottle since Boots pharmacy across the street closes at 8pm and we previously purchased their remaining stock in the cooler. Housekeeping also didn't bother cleaning/replacing the used mugs and spoons. By the fifth day of our stay, we had a closet full of (four) used mugs that had been there for three days. Granted we could have easily rinsed them for re-use (which I did on our last night) but the onus should have been on housekeeping and not the guests. Even so, I would probably stay here again for value and comfort of two beds and the convenient location.

Hotel was great. Location is one of the best things about this hotel and it’s one you will never forget. The subway entrance is across the street and it’s a main line but not a busy stop. Most food is in walking distance. Herrods is in walking distance. And most shops are in walking distance. A slight problem that we had was we left our bag in the room after we checked out. I went up to get it after we realized on the subway. The problem I have is that my key still worked after the time we checked out, and the bag was still in the room after the room steward cleaned the room. I would have thought 1) my to not work and 2) the steward to bring the bag down to the front desk. Other than that was a awesome hotel.

I’ve stayed at this hotel a lot - around a dozen stays ranging from one night to two weeks - and really recommend it. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean. The hotel is conveniently located. And I especially appreciate the restaurant which specialises in well-executed Asian fusion cuisine; it is a welcomed break from the typical hotel fare of pasta, burgers and salads.

Great location, 20 minutes or less by underground to most all key tourist attractions. Three minute walk from Gloucester Road station. The hotel and our room is updated, modern and clean. Our standard room was perhaps 2/3 the size of the same room in North America. But that's the way buildings are constructed in the UK as space is at a premium. Great housekeeping service. Friendly desk staff, very helpful concierge. We would return again.

Lovely, comfortable hotel in a great location. Just across the street from the Gloucester station, so easy to get around London. I would recommend joining the hotel's loyalty club; the extra benefits (breakfast and evening drinks) definitely make it worth it. The rooms are well appointed. The bed is very comfortable.
