Beautiful hotel. Room was clean. Breakfast was amazing! Would stay here again in the future.

4/10

This is not a five-star hotel as it claims to be. I was greeted by a step ladder used for renovations right outside my room, which I had to move myself just to get through. Debris was left uncleared outside the door. The door wasn't closed properly, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. The room smelled strongly of fresh paint, and there were moths everywhere - I had to kill quite a few myself. There was no garbage bin, no hairdryer, and no hangers provided. When I requested a room change, I was told none were available, but I was offered a complimentary dinner instead, which I appreciated. To be honest, the restaurant and its staff earned this place a second star; otherwise, it would’ve been a one-star review. Housekeeping didn’t seem to do much beyond replacing towels and emptying the trash. Tea bags weren’t replenished, and the room just didn’t feel clean overall. The only real highlight was the location - very close to Earl’s Court on the Piccadilly Line.

The rooms are small not good for family but good for couples. Beware that this is new hotel a lot of amenities are not properly installed yet. The bathroom with bathtub has really awkward glass door, can't open and can't get in, once you get in you will find hard time to get out. Overall nice, new, perfect location, quiet, staffs are friendly.

TV did not work; I mentioned to staff, and they said it was an IT issue. The room was too hot, and no one checked it. The lift is not working... going to the fourth floor is an adventure. Not good. Friendly staff

Ellen Kensignton is brand new, beautiful and spotless clean. The location is also great and reception staff were nice! There were 2 negative points though: the room was too small (it's ok for 1 person but small for 2). When you book in hotrels.com it doesn't say the size (in sq metres), only that there is a kind bed. The photos in hotels.com platform were photos of obviously bigger rooms (but in the category that I chose to book). The 2nd point is that the FIRE ALARM goes off every time a guest has a very hot shower. This needs to be sorted, because not only it scares people, but also one wants to be able to sleep in on the weekend, right? I stayed in the hotel from Thu evening til Sunday afternoon and it happened 3 times (including at 7am on Friday and 8am on Sunday).

Rummet väldigt litet och dåligt disponerat, han/hon som sov innerst väckte den som sov ytterst när han/hon behövde gå upp. Dusch utan ordentliga väggar medförde att hela golvet blev blött. Saknades speglar och krokar i rummet. Överlag trevlig personal och en utmärkt frukost! Bra läge nära tunnelbana.

Das Hotel ist sehr gut mit den Öffentlichenverkehrmitteln zu erreichen und man kommt von da überall hin. Das Hotel ist sehr schön eingerichtet und sauber. Das Frühstück ist ausreichend, könnte aber abwechslungsreicher gestaltet werden.
