Met our requirements and would happily stay again.

Diana Couples - 26/02/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We enjoyed our stay at the Mercure and would use this hotel again. We were met on arrival by the lovely Eliza on reception who could not have been more welcoming and helpful. All staff were pleasant but she stood out. It is hard to write a comprehensive review as we stayed during lockdown so some facilities were closed. There was a very basic menu and the bar food and continental breakfast we had were good and reasonably priced. The hotel is well located and our room was clean, comfortable and roomy. ideal for our purposes.

Fine

Boris Couples - 13/02/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel was really close to a nearby tube station and in central London. The room was very nice and clean and the staff were fantastic.

Grubby Bedrooms

William Couples - 08/01/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Excellent support in reservation and arrival ruined by grubby, dirty bedrooms in a pandemic ! Moved rooms twice and only 3rd one passably clean and tidy....which is the least we would expect from a 4 star hotel in London.

Good stay

MY experience has been very good, in particular the resilience an organisation around covid measures. I always enjoy my stay at tis hotel.

Not clean and or Covid compliant

Peter W. Business - 21/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

This was my second stay at this hotel. I reported the first time that blood marks were visible in the outside of the bathroom sink. I made a complaint regarding this and one of the front desk staff confirmed they would reply to me with how this would be rectified. I equally complained about finding hair in the bathroom from a previous guest along with finger print marks on light switches, window and even the tv remote. In the height of a global pandemic and now in tier 4, I was expecting this hotel as they are legally obliged to, to go above and beyond in ensuring cleanliness and safety for its guests.

Great Hotel great staff

Not great at all!

Harpreet S. Couples - 23/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I made reservation to stay at Mercure Kensington on Booking.com, the room Was advertised as king executive with full English breakfast, soft drinks in mini bar and coffee machine. When we got to the hotel we discovered that they were not serving full English and only continental, this was disappointing we asked if they could reduce the room rate because we didn't want the continental and they did which was great. When we went to our room we were even more disappointed, the room did not at all look as it was advertised on the website, very standard for an executive king. There was no coffee machine and no drinks in the mini bar, we were very put of by our experience and decided we did not want to stay there. We went to the reception and explained the situation to the lady who was very help and supportive and understood where we were coming from. She spoke to reservations team and they decided they would give us a full refund, which I am very greatful for. I do understand that there are may different procedures now because of Covid-19, but feel each hotel should disclose exactly what changes apply to them so customers are fully informed and are aware of what they are booking. Overall our short experience at this hotel was not that great at all, but I would like to say that your receptionist Eliza is a gem, she was very helpful and happy to assist us as much as she could, Thank you Eliza.

Location is good, price is acceptable. Check in staff accommodating, providing upgrade due to Club membership.

Winston C. Couples - 26/09/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Was good enough. Room service is terrible though---awful selection!

Not Up to Usual Standard

Charles P. Business - 19/09/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I had a nice room, which was an upgrade to a Privilege Room, but the A/c was pretty ineffectual & so the room was too hot- same problem as the previous stay in this hotel. Breakfast was very poor value for money at £10 for a minimal continental breakfast- same P. as for the Pre Covid full cooked breakfast with extras.

Average.

Anonymous Business - 02/04/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Broken shower head; low water pressure; Door key gets demagnetized every single day; each time staff forgets to send the invoice via e-mail, even when asked multiple times.
