What people say

Arrived early at the hotel, not wanting to drag our bags around London before we could check in, asked if we could leave them there, “Not a problem Sir”, was the reply. After having a luggage free day around Kensington we got back to the hotel and checked in. Our room was a triple room on the first floor, and it was surprisingly spacious. A good sized double and a single bed with plenty of room to move around, on one side of the room there was some steps up to an area with a kettle and a table .
all reviews » This is the second time we have used this hotel. The location is good. A five minute walk from Gloucester Road tube and about a ten minute walk from South Kensington tube. The room was clean. We had requested a twin room but they had us in a double so they gave us a triple room which meant we had plenty of extra space in the room. They clearly had recently done some repairs to the room and so the walls were a little tired but it was clean, the beds were comfortable and the room was warm, infac. Stayed at Avni Kensington Hotel, and despite some bad comments on Tripadvisor we had a wonderful time there. Staff are friendly and very helpful, hotel was spotless clean and free WiFi (which worked well during all my stay). Room was the expected size for an European hotel. Breakfast was basic, limited to some cold options and toast, but considering that is complementary with the stay is perfect. Hotel is very well located, within 5 minutes walk you are at Gloucester Rd with good restaurant. We liked the staff; they were friendly and helpful, especially a young man Raj. The first night our triple room had a showerhead that leaked so they moved us to another room and it was a nicer layout so it was a win win. The rooms are clean, although the carpeting, being white, (odd choice for a hotel) shows wear and soil. There are not very many hotels that offer triples at a reasonable price so we considered this a find. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We could leave luggage before booking in. The room was warm. The en suite, though small was very clean and it was a good shower. The bed was comfortable. Adequate storage for clothes for 4 days. Good continental breakfast, cereals, cheese, yogurts, toast, variety of juices etc. We'd like to come back next month and would be very happy to have the same room 313!. 24 hr reception so no need to carry keycard around. Breakfast times were at lie in friendly times. Self service breakfast items were well stocked, fresh and filling. Hotel was well located, close to subway, supermarket and cafes. Room was clean, comfortable, warm and had sufficient equipment levels. The price for the room for the two nights stay did not suggest the quality of the hotel/room. Hotel num prédio tradicional, muito comodo, limpo e localizado num excelente bairro. Perto de atrações (museu da ciencia, história natural e etc.), transportes, lojas e restaurantes Hotel in a traditional building, very comfortable, clean and located in a great neighborhood.

Generally speaking it is a very comfortable hotel to live in for a short holiday. The room is spacious enough for us and it is clean. And the family room is as same as the photo given. very nice area to walk around even at night as it is very safe. Great restaurants and bars all around so no need to go far from the hotel to enjoy a night out. The people working reception were excellent. They helped answer so many questions and provided excellent information for things we wanted to do. Easy to get too from the piccadilly line off gloucester. Wifi is available in lobby and some rooms.

The location is great. the staff is very helpful and kind. location was good, value for money, good staff, very clean. Staff helpful. Room was very nice. Breakfast was good. Liked everything but the hotel could have improved by : Room having a small arm chair as lying / sitting on the bed not so easy to drink your tea! A coat rack, as not enough room or hangers in the wardrobe. We came back to the hotel for a rest in the afternoon and had to vacate whilst they made up the room, this was annoying but liveable with! These are small trivial annoyances, not real dislikes. The following are minor criticisms as I really enjoyed my stay: Our taxi didn't recognize the hotel's address. No hot chocolate. The keycard operated power management system didn't seem to work. No hotel facilities help book. Na casa de banho, o poliban é realmente muito pequeno e o chuveiro fixado na parede não facilita. Deveria ter chuveiro com mangeira. A sala do pequeno-almoço muito pequena. A comida com pouca variedade mas boa em quantidade. In the bathroom, the shower is really small and the shower wall mounted not easy. Should have shower with Hose. The breakfast room very small. The food with little variety but good quantity. Only problem was that we asked for a morning call, which never materialized. Fortunately we woke up anyway and didn't miss our train!. Room was small - but then it was a single. There was a bit of noise from the building next door (not sure if it was another hotel or a house) but nothing the hotel can do about that!. Nothing negative!. Nothing. The breakfast is quite simple but still good quality. Finally: nothing negative!. - No air conditionning: it can get hot in the summer. The T.V channels were not working . Only the news channels were available most of the tme. Nothing to say here. To our disappointment, the breakfast is too simple to make our stomach to adapt to. There is only the toast, milk, coffee, juice, and some fruit. What's more, the room is very warm but I cannot still accustomed to sleep with a blanket. windows not been able to close them as they are very old. Room was very warm but it was on the fifth floor. walls were not very thick (but we slept well) breakfast is really basic. The Breakfast is most simple, some details in the room were really cheap or unfinished. Very light covers on the bed for February would have liked a duvet or the option of one. Shower head was a problem in our room. It was busy in breakfast. The food is laid out at one end of the room and it got a but congested but apart from that it was fine. The breakfast was monotonous. Would be nice if there were some varieties. The room was uncomfortably hot and stuffy in the summer evenings due to only one very small window opening. This prevented air flow. "Continental breakfast" food was a bit basic and low quality. No Wifi signal in my room - I didn't try elsewhere in hotel. It took about 10 minutes for the hot water to come on each time I used the sink or shower. The breakfast was not to my taste but I am sure that it is adequate for most people. Also the shower was not quite hot enough. However, I would stay here again. Being a bit picky but would have liked more variety in teas ie. herbal/fruit tea option. Tv did not work, got me out of the room. My room couldn't lock from the inside but there was no possibility to change/repair. As a woman solo traveller, this made me feel a bit uneasy. Rooms are too small, considering that they're supposed to be double rooms. Lack of dinner at the hotel was awful. If I was being really picky they could have duvets in the room. The in room telephone had a terrible buzzing noise. We couldn't sleep there was a loud noise not sure where its coming from. and it lasted all night. Nothing. Very base breakfast :(. shower head did not move. It is a bit hard to find. Bathroom a bit small, but very clean.
