Booked into the Royal Garden for a special weekend away with relatives. We were very pleased with our choice of hotel. The hotel was excellently situated for the places that we wanted to visit, including Kensdington Palace. We had garden rooms overlooking Kensington Gardens and would recommend these. Our rooms benefited from a lovely view and had all the facilities... More

How to train staff to enter the hotel rooms without knocking? How to keep bread at least a day past it's sell date before serving? Our room developed a leak around midnight which we were told is very common with such an old air conditioning system. Who do you talk to when you ask a cheese plate without goats cheese... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this hotel - it was conveniently located in Hyde Park - right next to Kensington Palace and near a tube station, restaurants and shopping. The room was very modern with an excellent king size bed. The breakfast was amazing.

Stayed here for 6 nights in April. Did my booking through Expedia.com.au and got a reasonable deal for a top hotel in London. Deal came with no extras so breakfast and wifi not included. When you add over 20 pounds for fairly average buffet breakfast and 20 pounds per day wifi charge and it doesnt seem so reasonable. You can... More

This hotel is pure calmness destination in London. Within a walking distance from almost everything...High Street Kensington station, Albert Hall, National Museum and of course the beautiful Hyde Park. The room that facing the Hyde park are second to none. The hotel has a Spa. Make sure you try the 10th floor authentic Chinese Restaurant called Min Jiang.
