The staff at Melia London Kensington are exceptional. Friendly, welcoming, helpful. They assisted us with booking sightseeing and taxi. They provided directions to walking destinations and to further destinations by tube. We strongly recommend this hotel. Underground 1/2 block from hotel and hop on hop off bus stop in front of hotel. Many attractions like Victoria and Albert museum, Royal Natural History museum, Royal Albert Hall within walking distance.

Location is great but rooms are like JAIL compared to other hotels close by . Pictures don’t match what you see with both eyes!
Staff were kind and helpful expect the lady who did my check in. She wasn’t helpful at all.
I’m glad I did not book entire 10 nights at Melia …. After 3 nights I booked at walking distance hotels the Bailey and it was excellent.
