Flew in early and wanted something close to Portobella shopping area. We had a car but it was hard to drive anywhere and find parking. So we just ate at the hotel. It was really good. Had a nice breakfast and was on our way. Staff was nice, rooms were nice. There was a beautiful park across the street.

Although a Hilton branded hotel it certainly does not conform to Hilton hotel standards. This had to have the smallest rooms I have ever been in, ever, in a hotel. I was not the only one who had issues as I saw others at check-in complaining as well. If you want to feel like you are in a tiny cabin... More

We stayed here 2 nights (at the beginning and end of our Trafalger tour) and have no complaints. Everyone was pleasant and helpful, especially Rachid Battal (the Concierge) who recommended an Italian restaurant nearby on the Sunday when the hotel's restaurant was closed. We had an excellent meal at the hotel's restaurant on the first night we stayed there and... More

The room assigned upon arrival had scaffolding right outside the window with workers being able to look inside unless curtains were always drawn. There was no clock and no radio in room with no opportunity to listen to music or to find out local time during night, making adjusting to time change very frustrating. However, when presented with issues, a... More

Ideal for shops and west end of London; nice hotel but busy with many business folk; good reception staff - very attentive and pleasant; bar staff and restaurant staff during breakfast time could do with a customer service course; Rooms were very clean and sizeable with all the amenities; fabulous reception area and huge restaurant.

Stayed here four nights and hotel was very quiet and the staff was very friendly. Let us check in when we arrived at 10:00 am since we had flown in from US.

Quite a nice hotel located on the lovely Holland Park Avenue. The room was rather small (as they usually are in London) and the bathroom seemed a bit old fashioned. The executive lounge was ok, although the room is a bit dark. The gym as well as the sauna facilities were a bit of a disappointment. Did not use at... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Hilton London Kensington is located close to a lot of London event venues and some great shopping too. Only about a 7-minute walk from Holland Park underground station and one of the main central tube lines, Hilton London Kensington is surrounded by places to eat, drink, shop, and watch bands. There is always comedy or music at the Hammersmith Apollo - a simple walk away, or sporting events at Wembley stadium - a short train ride away. And with the modern, well-stocked Westfield shopping center located just across the road, when you stay at Hilton London Kensington you can shop all day. Whatever you chose to do in your spare time, the hotel itself is bright and airy. All the rooms have an LCD flat screen TV and a mini bar. If you don’t want a night in, relaxing in your comfortable room and don’t want to venture too far either; choose to dine in the romantic West Eleven restaurant after making the most of the 24-hour gym and the relaxing sauna and steam room. Staying at the Hilton London Kensington is about making the most out of your time in London. ... more   less
