The Resident Kensington

A really comfortable and welcoming hotel in a good location but not noisy. Guest needs appeared to be uppermost in the mind of staff and the welcome drinks in reception were a nice touch. Recommended.

The breakfast situation was a little unorthodox, otherwise it was a great place to stay.

The Resident (nee Nadler) Kensington is a beautiful boutique hotel just a short walk from Earl's Court Rd. It has the advantage of a quiet neighborhood just a minute from the bustling Earl's Court tube station making it accessible via the Piccadilly and District Lines to everything in London. The hotel itself is a converted home with a few rooms on each floor. The rooms range from very efficient to quite spacious though all are nicely appointed with fridge, microwave, teapot, espresso machine, kitchen sink and dishes, comfortable beds and modern baths including heated towel racks for those cold, wet London days. I've stayed at the Resident several times and always found the staff extraordinarily helpful and welcoming. You really couldn't ask for better. The immediate neighborhood has plenty of good food choices including a couple of good pubs (Blackbird, King's Head), a Paul Pattisserie, Cacciari's Italian and a Comptoir Libanais. Good quick food choices are a bit limited since the Wagamama and the GBK disappeared though there is a Pret. The Kensington High Street is ~15 minute walk.

Excellent value for the money ! Room was small but very comfortable and impeccably clean. Service was excellent. Complementary wine and champagne an unexpected and pleasant surprise !

From the reception to the end of the hotel stay, the service was impeccable and warm from all the hotel staff :) I stayed in a room, which, had all that was needed (microwave oven, Nespresso machine, plenty of power sockets available etc.) for a solo traveller. About five minutes’ walk to earl’s court underground. It was central and conveniently situated along the Piccadilly line towards where I needed to go for a short 2 night trip. Felt safe at night around the residence. Wonderful stay and would definitely return here when I’m back in London.

Beyond excellent costumer service. All the staff was so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here.

Be careful when booking from the website. I thought that I had booked a conventional room but had in fact booked a room with bunk beds with a mall amount of outdoor space (justifying a £30 increment).

Lovely centrally located ( Earls Court Tube Station 400 yards away ) boutique style hotel. Service very friendly. Room while on the small side was very good. Bed very spacious & comfortable.

Lovely stay between Christmas and New Year. Plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby so lack of restaurant not a problem. Enjoyed the complimentary evening drinks with other guests. Beautiful neighbourhood and very quiet in hotel. Very close to Earls Court tube station and an easy walk to the NHM, Science Museum, V&A Museum and Harrods.

It was a wonderful stay! The place is easily accessible, very near to the underground station. There are quite a number of food joints around the area. Check in was an ease. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. It’s a great place to stay in. There was enough space for our family of 4 and the luggages. Definitely will recommend this to others and will definitely come back again!
