Friendly staff but room on small side

Worst hotel room ever!

Customer review rating 3.8/5

Rodney Couples - 30/11/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

Booked a spacious double room and we were given a single room with a double bed. Room was tatty and bathroom sink was cracked and chipped. Only 30cm at end of bed so really hard to get from one side of room to the other. Spoilt our whole weekend and attitude of hotel management was atrocious with zero understanding from duty managers. We will never stay here again and I advise others to do same.

Feeling at home away from home

Assia Solo - 29/11/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

I arrived at your hotel tired after a night flight and a long cab ride through the congested streets of London. Eliza the receptionist took pity on me & upgraded me. I had a two days reservation at the Mercure & was booked for the rest of my week in London at Ibis Styles. Imad, the manager offered me a better rate in the same upgraded room and convinced me to stay for the rest of the week. Zaineb, Bosteyo were also very attentive to my needs. Your staff, the improved rates & the hotel comfort made all the difference.

Annie N. Couples - 28/11/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

We have stayed at this hotel numerous times and will likely stay again in the future as we do like the hotel in general and it’s location. The room we were put in was very small, smaller than previous stays at the same room category. It was also very hot, the air conditioning dial did nothing and we had to keep the window open at all times. In addition it felt like the room was only stocked for one person despite the booking for two. There was only one bathrobe and one set of toiletries. We had to ask for extra shampoo, toilet paper etc everyday. The staff were helpful and responded to requests very quickly. However we should not have to make all those extra requests given this is a 4 star hotel.

Dear Annie, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure London Kensington Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At Mercure, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Lisa Kearney General Manager

The Kensington Mercure is my hotel of choice always when I am in London. It is warm and welcoming, comfortable, hospitable and friendly - one feels at home at once, and at ease in an excellent location for accessing any other part of London. The Mercure is quality all the way, and I greatly look forward to my next stay.

A little tired

Customer review rating 3.8/5

Mike Couples - 25/11/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel room was comfortable, clean and the bed supportive. The only downside was the shower room which was clean, which is the most important aspect, was tired - the basin had a large crack and the bath panel needed a good re-paint. Not hugely important but just needed some maintenance.

Reception did a good job both at check-in and check-out. Restaurant experience was horrible, though breakfast was just fine. How hard is it for you guys to sort out power outlet by the bed side?

Good but not the usual Mercure standard

Customer review rating 3.8/5

Alex Business - 20/11/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

Few observations which of addressed could improve guest experience: - checkin rather painful with a member of staff not fully trained and rather “personal” - no fast checkout so you need to queue and wait for your account balance confirmation - breakfast starts at 7am which is rather late for a city where many are travelling for business - rooms outdated but de my size with good bedsheets/ pillows/ mattress - tea refills were only black tea and not the initial variety - welcome trey for Platinum level was a plate with some chocolate pralines and few berries - not wrapped so not really hygienic

Very nice and clean room and polite service, but I didn’t agree with and objected to a request to supply a hard copy of my photo id for the hotel’s keeping. This is unnecessary, as the original id may be, and was, inspected and that is sufficient. This is not done at other Mercure hotels at which I have stayed. It will put people off. Regards,
