Avni Kensington Hotel  

The staff very helpful all the way through my stay, location very good. Clean and comfortable. Room small but fine as I was only using it for sleeping in.

Location is fairly convenient

Room was poorly laid out and poorly designed Poor value for money, quality of service was poor, staff unprofessional

Superb location in a bourgeois borough, only 5 minutes walk from the tube (with 3 lines at you disposal - Piccadilly, District and Circle). A very nice Olives restaurant not far from the hotel, 24-hour Tesco supermarket opposite the Gloucester Road station with boulangerie Paul just next door. We booked a standard twin: nice,clean, though rather moderate size of the room with a tiny but clean bathroom. Wi-fi free of charge, speed was ok. Tea facilities in the room. I can recommend this hotel. The main advantage is definitely a perfect location.

Breakfast, breakfast and again breakfast... Really poor. We had to buy yogurts in Tesco (instead of those chemical mixtures), boulangerie at Paul's and some really nice cheeses at Neal's Yard in Covent Garden (not that uneatable packed cheddar offered at breakfast) to have a normal tasty breakfast. But fruits (apples, oranges and bananas) were really good and cereals were eatable (though how can they not be?). And shower...the problem is that the showerhead is tightly fixed up in the cabin and you have to squirm from the water if you don't plan to wash your head. Removable showerheads would have been a great improvement.

Breakfast, and the personal.

The contemporary style and cleanliness of the hotel. Simply Awesome!

Very clean. Much larger than the average London hotels. Very friendly staffs.

Very good position, only 5 minutes walking to the underground. Perfect position if you want to visit the city. Very Nice neighbourhood with quite à lot of restaurants, cafés, supermarket not so far from the hotel. We booked à superior room: nice, clean, quite big and comfortable bed.

Hotel staff very unpolite except for à girl who works at the reception. When we arrived at the hotel they requested to pay in avance which we found quite strange. Very poor and bad breakfast. We decided the second day to have breakfast outside the hotel.

This hotel was ideal for our one-night trip to the theatre. The size of the room was more than adequate for a few nights. Spotlessly clean. 3 minutes walk to the Tube, giving easy access to all areas of London. Our room was on the top floor and very warm, so we just turned the radiator off. Paid £85, so this was excellent value for the location.

Not a great deal of storage space for clothes - not a problem for our one night stay, but may be a problem if you were planning to stay a week or more.

1) Location is very convinient - 5 minutes from the tube station and just 4-5 stations from the main attractions, direct line from Heathrow airport - 45-50 minutes by tube. 2) Clean room. 3) Friendly staff.

1) Manager couldn't find the key from the safe. So, it wasn't possible to use safe. 2) Wi-fi doesn't work in the room, only in the lobby. 3) Small shower cabin and low water pressure in the shower.

The room was very clean and well presented given the price, I was expecting a much less comfortable experience so I was pleasantly surprised! I drink a lot of water so having a Brita filter in the room was extremely useful for me.

Breakfast was very basic but given the price I can accept that.

Room was clean and tidy and big enough for a short city stay.

There could have been more of a selection for breakfast.

This is the second time that I have stayed at the Avni. It is clean, reasonably comfortable and the continental breakfast is very good. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom, although small, is 'perfectly formed' with plenty of towels, soap and shampoo. In common with other modest, modern hotels in the Gloucester Road area, the furniture is simple and the storage space is adequate for 2 or 3 nights. The staff are all courteous and helpful. I returned to the Avni because it gave the best value for money for hotels in this price range.

Location close to Earls Court exhibition center.

We booked 3 twin rooms (three weeks earlier); it occured that they gave us doubles. Explanation, that hotel decides what kind of room they give us is not satisfactory to me. After a long quarrel we got an extra room for a half of the price(1 night), and triple room with an extra bed for the rest of the stay (instead of double). Other guests were in the same situation - hotel intentionally overbooked twin rooms. Hotel staff was rude and breakfast was really simple.
