The bfast was ok. We didn't order much. The hotel was located not too far from the underground & restaurants

The buildings history is ever present from the nature of the rooms and excellent oil paintings fluttered around the walls.

Peter, United Kingdom

This hotel is in a convenient location for our needs. Helpful staff. Very large bedroom.

Rosemary, Guernsey

Great location. This hotel used to be amazing and could be again.

Maureen, United Kingdom

We absolutely loved breakfast, and they can bring it to your room so that was a bonus. The bed was comfy. The location was fabulous...10 min walk from Glouster Road tube. Lots of local shops within walking distance.

K, United States of America

Old fashioned decor in dining room. Great location. Superb staff, excellent service. I loved the booking of breakfast in advance

Michael, Ireland

I loved the regency era style room and common areas. The bed and linens (and 3 pillows for one side, 6 total) were so soft. I could have spent all day in bed, but that would have defeated the purpose of the trip. Also, the hotel is perfectly located within Kensington, plus near the underground. Plus, there are a lot of restaurants and Waitrose along Gloucester Road.

In a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Kensington and Chelsea, the Cranley Hotel is within walking distance of many of London's main attractions. The fantastic shops of Knightsbridge and King's Road are around 15 minutes’ walk away.

The hotel rooms all blend original features with state-of-the-art facilities, including a flat-screen TV and free high-speed internet access.

A free glass of sparkling wine and canapes are available every evening, between 19:00 and 20:00.

The property is within walking distance from the Victoria and Albert Museum, as well as Harrods.

Kensington and Chelsea is a great choice for travelers interested in architecture, monuments and atmosphere.

This hotel is very tired, no facilities in room, breakfast poor, waiting on staff need training and better language understanding, there are a number of simple improvement measures, that should be instigated to increase the customer experience.

Breakfast advertised misleading- had to pay extra £8 for full English. Upon check in was told I ‘had’ to pay an extra £50 deposit in case of damages or extras which was taken from my account immediately and will take 5 working days to clear back into my account. This was not presented as an option- in fact, a male member of staff came and stood very close to me watching me put in my PIN. Quite a coercive way of doing business...
Location was excellent, room was nice but in need of renovation

The bathroom needed decorating. One of the two basins leaked but the spillage was cleared up as soon as we mentioned it. The lock on the door was stiff from the outside so we had to ask for help with both locking and unlocking!
The excellent service we received from the manager and his staff; nothing was too much trouble. The elegance of the sitting and dining room.

“Very enjoyable stay. Very quiet and breakfast good! Service excellent. Just could have been spruced”

I think that the entrance and carpet around the lift , windows all could have been spruced up to give a better impression, the dirt in the elevator needs to be vaccumed, so many people pass by each day. Handles and doors need to be cleaned regularly, tiles cleaned daily! It was a lovely hotel and the reception lady was very friendly and helpful, they just need to change a square of carpet in the lift, tweedy and maybe darker! The bedroom was lovely but the carpet again looked stained and dirty, maybe put down a colorful rug to hide the stains
The bedroom and bed were very comfortable

“Low value for money !”
- • Family with young children
- • Junior Suite (2 Adults + 1 Child)
- • Stayed 3 nights
Apartment 40sq meters placed on lowest floor, under street level.. Dirty curtains, paint falling off the bathroom walls.. Very dirty extra madrass on extra bed. Breakfast ok, but always too little bread (4 nights). This is not a 4 star, but a 3 star hotel. I really should stop using Booking.com, they seldom tell the the truth about hotel standards. We travel at least one and a half months in Europe every year, often a new hotel per night. My wife does not like the idea of travelling any more, due to low hotel standards. advertised by Booking ! You should send agents to check updated standards of the hotels you promote, this is embarrasing !!
