Hotel City Continental Kensington London - London

This hotel is very bad

Nice experience, excelent location nearby the tube station, poor offer for the breakfast

The room i have booked was not available ! they give us another room very small and very dark ! under the pavement !! very noisy room! a real shame ! about the bathroom it was ridiculous, with shower on the floor, not very convenient.

This hotel is ideal for anyone who wish to travel to London on a budged. The lady in reception was friendly and helpful. The room was on the 4th floor and was very spacious, clean and warm. There was tea/coffee making facilities & hairdryer. It would have been nice if there was a wardrobe in the room even though you could hang your clothes in an open space. The room was cleaned every day and we got fresh towels each day. The shower & toilet were clean and there was shampoo & shower gel. There was a variety of food for the breakfast and the room was clean and staff very helpful. The hotel was ideally situated near Earls Court Tube station which made touring London very easy. I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel and would recommend it to my friends who wish to stay in London

The hotel rating of 3 stars is overstated. The room was small, and the furnishings and furniture are getting quite tired and worn. Would benefit from a general refurbishment. Breakfast was only offered from 0700hrs, and as I had to leave early I asked if I could have it earlier; I was told it was not possible, so they were not too accommodating.

In a city as expensive as London I was very happy with an entirely adequate space that was very clean with an excellent shower. The breakfast room is clinical though with plenty of food. Staff very friendly and competent.

The floor was not clean. the remaining odour of the cigarettes was really unpleasant.

Great hotel for short time stay, close to the centre and underground

Friendly welcome and staff, and we were lucky to have a room with a window that could open 10cm! We would never book a room with no windows. In Denmark you get much more hotel room for the same price. Would be nice if you could choose between continental or English breakfast.

Small but clean room,rich breakfast, great point to visit city centre. I recommend it for staying in London for several days.

Some rooms are deep....way...and there are no good! I ask for change thosxe anf they acept this....give me a good, but little room, on 3 floor. the breakfast is good....not for salad...but only cake and bread.....

Small, but clean. Nice breakfast. Very quiet during the weekdays. Will stay there again!

Located in a quiet street, close to subway station; breakfast was most satisfactory, staff was helpful.

We stay in London a fair bit and it is hard to find a decent hotel for reasonable cost. I have stayed in some real dives! This however was very different. We received a friendly welcome, a room exactly where we had asked for it, a comfortable enough bed and clean en-suite bathroom, air-con that worked well, and a good breakfast if slightly limited in choice. We had a good time here and will definitely be coming again. Rob & Di Barron

The staff are polite and the location excellent. Have stayed in the hotel 4-5 times and found excellent value for money. The only suggestion is that the breakfast could have some variety. It has been exactly the same for over one year!

The carpets in Room 201 were absolutely filthy. Room was very small and the bathroom even smaller. Very hot in the room . Airconditioner did not work. They put a portable airconditioner into the room. Mattress on bed needs replacing. Overall very poor.

The hotel was OK. The only problem was the small size of the room and the fact that there was no window to open - just a door to the garden (the room was on the ground floor) - I was a bit scared to leave it open all night so it was a bit hot in the room.

Easy to find(near subway station). Facilities are quite old.

El hotel ha sido exactamente lo que buscábamos. Buena relación calidad precio y con muy buena comunicación. El desayuno poco variado pero abundante.

Hitel carino a 5 passi dalla metro EARLS COURT fermata con doppia linea di metro PICCADILLY LINE,e la verde che consentono un rapido raggiungimento dei principali luoghi di attrazione.Dintorni dell'hotel pieni di pub e ristoranti e caffè shop x ottime colazioni.Struttura dell'hotel stile vittoriano,abbastanza pulito carino e confortevole.Pecche dell'hotel: l'ultimo piano di camere è raggiungibile solo x delle scalette minuscole e poi non si può fumare in tutto l'hotel nè in camera nè altrove.

Rooms wasn't very big and also the bathroom, but everything was clean. the breakfast wasn't so rich as written in the site. the zone is very suitable to visit the city and weel served by transports.

Hôtel dans rue peu passante donc calme (si les voisins le sont aussi !). Chambres petites mais confortables, et bien entretenues. Petit déjeûner buffet réduit au stricte minimum.

For New Year's Eve: I had everything I needed: close to the tube, pubs for a fair price!

Employees were very friendly, willing to help. We stayed with a friend four 5 nights in a double room and there was only one coat, so we were arguing the first night, but we got another coat next day, so it was fine, although I wouldn’t say the sheets were clean on that coat. In general the hotel was clean, breakfast ok (do not expect any meat or rich breakfast), I would recommend it for the price. And be aware, you are in London and do not expect too much!

Vicinissimo alla metropolitana,e ad un'bel pub.Molti posti per mangiare. Colazione buona,pulizia della camera decente,una signorina all'accoglienza un'pò antipatica,ma gli altri ok.

A couple and Son's mother

Clean, comfortable, no frills accommodation. Situated in quiet area but close to local amenities and underground station. Value for money compared to other London hotels. Would stay again.

Great value for money - the room was exactly as described, clean and spacious enough for 3 people. Only complaint - the breakfast is served until 10h30 in the morning and the employees start taking everything back to the kitchen at 10H30, even when there are still clients trying to get a second helping.

This is my second stay in this hotel and usual I found the the hotel staff to be very polite and competent. The rooms were very clean. Hope they had more than than the 4 channels on TV!! Breakfast is the same everyday and gets very monotonous.

We had difficulty getting to our room as we had to go up and down stairs and through two fire doore to get to our room. As I have bad knees it became a chore. The linen is badly stained even though it had been washed, I had to ask for the sheets to be changed and the replacement sheets were not much better. The bed is very old as you could feel the worn springs. The safe did not work and was not fixed the whole week we were there and we could not dial out on the phone and had to go to reception to make a call. Other than that we thought we got what we paid for. We stayed 7 nights and this was our first stay. The staff were helpful.

Beetje versleten hotel, sinds drie (3) maanden deze naam, voorheen Comfort Inn. Was toe ook al niet zo geweldig, toen een zeer kleine kamer. Nu hadden wij een grotere twee persoonskamer. 1 nacht veschrikkelijk last gehad van gasten (jongelui), personeel deed daar niet veel moeite voor om het rustiger te krijgen. Hele nacht geen oog dicht gedaan. Ontbijt is slecht, maar in de omgeving meer als voldoende eet gelegeheden. Dat is ook het possitieve van dit hotel, het ligt midden in een leuke wijk met veel uitgaans gelegenheden.

The breakfast is not a English Breakfast. Ugly! Hotel staff is not so nice. Earl's Court is one of the best location for accomodation in London.

There are only room " no smoker". in internet hotel characteristics there is chose between romms "no smoker"and "for smoker"

I stayed only a night, however the room was extremely small even for one person. An old building, I woke up every time somebody is walking outside. Most probably, I was not luck with room selection. Otherwise the breakfast was fine and the hotel was very close to subway.

The Hotel is located very close to the Earl's Court Tube, hardly 5 minunte's walk. Lots of places to eat close by. The hotel is very neat and clean and the staff (East Europeans) generally courteous and accommodating. The only negative is that the romms are REALLY TINY! Would be a good place to stay if you are on a budget, staying in London for a few days and would like to stay in a hotel which is pretty central.

The room was very clean, but really worn down (desperately needs a new carpet and some new cover sheets). the breakfast was not something that you can call "fresh" also, they had run out of butter (there were 3 staff members standing around - I don't quite get it why they didn't get some from the corner store) the location was great (the subway station right around the corner, also some great pubs and restaurants a few steps away) overall, we had a good night sleep and it was not expensive (for London) but next time we'll try an other hotel

If I was a bit taller or a bit bigger I would not have been able to go inside the shower. Unfortunately is not the only Hotel that has this problem.

It´s nice, but expensive. The people (other rooms ) did make very noise in the night.

The hotel was really alright and worth its price - hardly no objections. The bathroom door could not be closed properly, but anyway. The breakfast is.. well, what do you expect for such a price? The good thing is there are many nice cafeterias in the neighbourhood. I just love the area around Earl´s Court - it´s quite quiet although not far away from downtown London! We had bad luck with the tube: There was no district and circle line in service on the weekend we spend in London. So you better check in advance if there is construction work done.

The hotel was just as we expected, thanks to venere.com The price was right, the surroundings were quiet, and the staff was helpful and polite. If I have to put my finger on anything it must be that we were unable to lock the porch door, not very good in the 1.floor. And the air-conditioner made an annoying sound the first night. (Maybe that was my fault after trying to adjust it?) The overall impression was very good and I recommend The Earls Court to other travellers.

Nice location nearby Earls Court station. Rooms were small, but ok. BUT the staff gave poor service. They started cleaning very early in the morning, and were very noisy. And the cleaning was not very good.

The room was not huge but it was confortable, and overall clean. The forniture was pretty but the wardrobe was unsufficient. The breackfast is continental. The sorrounding area is very nice and the hotel is really close to the underground.

London is just about the most expensive city on planet Earth so this was an extremely good deal, all British prices considered. Location is excellent, right around the corner from the tube!

Considering it was a double room there was no place to put your suitcase except on the bed. Breakfast staff were invisible - cleaners were carrying their cleaning materials back and forth during breakfast. Breakfast basic.

This hotel is in an excellent location, right around the corner from the underground "Piccadily Line" which runs right to Heathrow. Room was tiny, ok for short stay but any longer is not adviseable. No where to store luggage in the room as the floor space was limited. Small double beds. Continental Breakfast was included in price and was good, all self service. Outside you are very close to shops, restaurants, pubs etc. Very nice area to walk around in too.

Clean and well located. Good sized room compared to other experiences in London. Continental breakfast was nothing special, but edible.

L'hotel è in posizione favorevolissima a 200 m dalla stazione della metro di Earl's Court. L'aspetto della camera corrisponde alle foto presenti sul web: piccola ma pulita; c'è tutto quanto dichiarato (asciugacapelli, bagno in camera, televisore satellitare etc..). Unico neo la colazione che non è molto varia e di qualità mediocre.

We had an over all great weekend at this hotel. It was an all right place to lay your head after a long day in London

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights on a business trip to London. I have to say that the excellent review given to this place is not exaggerated. Go for it.

Clean, convenient, great staff

El hotel está bien situado, a 3 minutos de la estación de metro de Earls Court. La habitación que nos proporcionaron estaba situada en la planta 4ª y el ascensor sólo llega al tercer piso, por lo que es necesario subir el último tramo por unas estrechas escaleras. A cambio la habitación era muy amplia. El mobiliario, espartano pero correcto y el baño, nuevo. En líneas generales es un hotel muy correcto y limpio. Quizás por su precio sería esperable algo más, pero !se trata de Londres!

L'albergo è vicinissimo alla metro ed è situato in una zona tranquilla. Camere piccole ma discretamente pulite, basterebbe un pò più di cortesia del personale front office per rendere davvero il rapporto qualità prezzo eccellente! ....potrei tornarci...

Our room was not too spacious but clean. There are several pubs and restaurants close to the hotel, and underground is very near to it. Breakfast wan't too rich..

Simply Great! We are a couple that travels at least twice a year to London, so we have seen quite some hotels now. But this is far the best and now our fixed location if available for our London trips! The rooms are very clean, the beds very comfortable, the room is silent and you have tea/coffee making facilities on the room. I have never slept that good in London. And the personel at the desk is very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is ok and you can take as much as you like (even eggs are provided). All in all a very pleasent stay. At the price offered we were in hotels that are certainly a classification class below the services here. The hotel is easy to find and just 2 min away from the underground. All major stores are also in the area for food an shopping. Keep on!!!

We stayed at the Comfort inn Earls Court It was Ideally located near the tube station and easy to get to Heathrow from there. Room was small but I expected that for London. A bit difficult if you have bulky luggage as we did. They were clean and it looks like they had been recently renovated. If you only want somewhere to sleep I would recommend this hotel.

Top location near the absolutely central tube station Earls Court, very quiet room, very friendly staff, good continental breakfast. I can really recommend this hotel!

Our initial reservation was shortly after the events of July 7th and so the concert we were going to see was postponed. I contacted the hotel who kindly agreed to change our reservation date at no extra charge. The receptionist we dealt with at this time, as well as on arrival/departure, was friendly and efficient. The hotel was clean and well presented. Although the room wasn't huge, the bathroom was bigger than expected and the room was well decorated. The buffet breakfast was excellent in a nice breakfast room. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

VERY comfy beds, however we checked in late and put in for an early wake up call and they still called in the middle of the night to let us know we left the credit card downstairs. breakfast was ok. location was not greatest ever, but not too far from a tube station.

We stayed here for three nights in May 2005 in a triple-room with a small but functional and clean!!! bathroom. The hotel is very close to Earls Court Tube Station with lots of shops and restaurants on the way. We didn´t hear any noise from the Tube in our hotel!!! This place was nice with friendly atmosphere. You get a beautiful clean!!! room, nice location, helpful staff and an excellent Continental Buffet Breakfast. Check In 2:00 p.m Check Out 11:00 a.m W´ll stay again!

We had a nice, very clean and quiet room with twin beds and a nice bathroom with a tub. The room was rather small and the window faced onto a shaft, so no view at all = our only complaint. Lovely continental breakfast in a nice room furnished with modern furniture. Very friendly and helpful staff and a very clean hotel all over. You can deposit your luggage for free for some hours, when you are arriving or leaving and have not got your room and you do not pay extra for paying with e.g. a VISA card like in some hotels. The hotel is very close (about 200 metres) to Earls Court tube station, close to a Marks & Spencer food store, close to bus lines, so we were very content with our stay at this hotel.

All the staff were superb; polite, pleasant, helpful and friendly (more than I can say for some of the other hotels I've stayed at in London). Rooms are compact and clean. Lockable left luggage room is a bonus.

We had a very nice stay in this hotel the last weekend in January 2005. Although the rooms are not very big, the bed is nice and the bathroom was clean and good. Further the hotel is near metro Earl's Court where two metrolines stop. You can also pick up some food or eat out in the neighbourhood. We like to recommend this hotel to anyone!

Very small Rooms, clean but tattered. There are also rooms in the cellar they are unacceptable.

L'Hotel è posizionato in zona molto tranquilla, a due passi dalla stazione Underground. E' carino e le stanze, forse un po' piccolina, ma molto pulite e silenzio se. La colazione del mattino, di tipo continentale, è soddisfacente ed abbondante. Siamo rimasti soddisfatti.

We had a very pleasant stay. Rooms were clean and quiet. Breakfast was good and enough. Distorted radio music in the breakfast-room was disturbing.

Nice central location, close to tube stop on line that runs from Heathrow. Nice neighborhood pubs. Great place for the price!

Ideally located in a very quiet area with Earl's Court underground station at some 150 meters. Polite welcoming by staff at reception. Our twin bedroom was ok, beds are good, coffee and tea making facilities in the room are refreshed every day. Not a very spacious room, but we've seen much smaller ones. Anyway, who needs it for walking around? Room as well as bathroom are properly cleaned every day. Continental breakfast buffet is served in the basement. There is enough to choose for. On the day of departure the hotel offers you the possibility to stall your luggage so that you can walk around London without having to carry your bags or suit cases. Very convenient. We feel this hotel is good value for money and we would certainly recommend this to others!

Nearly everything was excellent. The quality for the price was ok. The location is quite good. About 2 mins to undergroud. About 5 mins to central London. From arrival @ stansted it´s about 60 mins by train and underground. The rooms are clean and provide enough space. Check in is possible after about 2 pm.

Good location and price not too bad. Small room though and no air conditioning other than open door and window. They had a refurbishment on at the moment, but did not disrupt too badly. Telephone could not be used for outside calls (there was some defect, temporary I believe) Internet in the lobby. Parking in the next Tesco's car park for GBP 12 per 24 hours. (Did not understand why they did not have residents permits for the guests of the hotel? There was plenty of parking space on the street. Only very expensive if you had to pay at the meter) At night and during weekend parking is free in front of hotel. Having a car there doesn't really make sense anyway, public transport everywhere.

The hotel is on a quiet street very close to the Earl's Court tube stop. There were good pubs and restaurants close by. The breakfast was good, with juice, cereal, cheeses, breads, boiled eggs, toast, milk, coffee etc. Although the room was small (like most in the London area for this price range), it was clean and comfortable. Coffee/tea and cookies were provided in the room. Good place to stay for a visit to London!

Could do with freshening up a bit but as at the price offered and its location ( very close to the tube) it was good value

Some of the furniture was broken, and the wallpapers on the staircases were torn off.

Tal y como se detalla en el propio hotel, la categoria es de 2 estrellas (allí rombos) en vez de las 3 por el que se contrató.

It is convenient for people who has an early morning flight at Heathrow. But room is a bit small and the elevator should stop at every floor.

If you can put up with very unfriendly receptionists, not a bad place to stay at all considering its very good location and price.

The room was very small and uncomfortable. The smell in the room was awful such as the room was kept close for long time. The remote control of television was not working. Overall my opinion of this hotel is very negative.
