Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Bob W London Kensington from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently highlight the hotel's superb location, especially its proximity to the Gloucester Road underground station, making city center access quick and easy, with Piccadilly only a short tube ride away. The modern, clean rooms are frequently praised, though some have found the bathrooms a bit on the smaller side. A bonus for many is the availability of breakfast and the provision of an iron and ironing board, enhancing the overall value for money.

Amazing Stay, Will Book Again!

convenient station friendly staff secure code handy feature

I loved how close the underground station was to the hotel. The staff was super friendly, which I totally appreciated. The room opened with a code, I found it very secure and high-tech. Syncing my phone to the smart TV worked so well, what a great feature! Extra coffee and teabags are free on the ground floor, I grabbed some every day.

The elevator felt tiny, it only fits like, four people max. I was barely able to move my luggage.

Dining

Centrally Located Stay

convenient location friendly staff smart tv free refreshments

The hotel's proximity to the underground station was really convenient. The staff were very friendly upon arrival. I could easily stream content to the smart TV in my room. Extra coffee and tea were available on the ground floor, which I found very useful.

The room tended to get a bit warm. Cooling it down was somewhat difficult!

Service

The reception staff was helpful and cute. Check-in was quick using codes instead of keys, something I liked. Staff promptly addressed my inquiries, showing a commitment to guest satisfaction, and they were very friendly too.

decent stay with some issues

friendly staff code access poor shower faulty lamp

the reception staff were friendly and helpful. i liked the use of codes instead of keys for access, it felt very secure. the walk to gloucester road tube was short. i also appreciated the variety of eateries nearby.

the shower was poor. i also noticed the bedside lamp was not working. there was no non-dairy spread offered at breakfast. it was a bit of a trek to see the sights from here.
