We came here as we were going to HM Queen's Garden Party and wanted a special experience. The air con was dismal and with the high temperature had to sleep with the doors open onto the balcony with all the accompanying noise. Staff suggested last night that they call in an engineer to hoover the air con out! We had... More

Spotlessly clean and wonderfully appointed. We can't fault the Presidential Apartments. The location is so handy for everything - bars, restaurants, shops, tube etc all within a few minutes walk yet Barkston Gardens is quiet and peaceful. Staff friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. Whenever we stay in London in the future we will definitely go back and... More

The location is brilliant, just enough set back from the main road. I booked a studio through a booking.com offer and was upgraded to an apartment. This was really great and shame I was only there for one night. Extremely clean, the only thing I must mention is remember this is not a hotel so please remember to bring your... More

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in March, and were satisfied with our stay. We did not know anything about this hotel before, but liked the idea that we could get up at any time and make our own breakfast. The room was equipped with nessesary kitchenware. We heard some noise from the Youth Hostel across the street,... More

Money stolen from inside a LOCKED room safe early February. Someone who works here is stealing! Contacted police and hotel management to no result. I have no reason to make this up. Recommend staying somewhere else, or keeping valuables with you. Fair Warning.

The hotel staff and location is good , close to Earls court and bus 74 takes you direct to Oxford and nightbridge. The only thing embarressed me is nighbours complain on my kids when they run in the room, which I couldn't handle as there was a room under mine ( basement room ).

I booked this after an internet search for hotels in London where I was travelling to for a few days with my son. The building is located in a quiet street close to Earls Court Underground Station. The property is not designated as a hotel but Serviced Apartments. There is a 24 hour reception where the staff were extremely helpful.... More

Last January when I planned our trip to London, I came across the Presidential Kensington. They offered rooms for three adults, at a decent price including 20 % off. I booked one for a weekend in march, when I would take my two teenage boys to London. There was a sofa bed involved, but I didn't worry. Didn't the sign... More
