The property is old and not in very good shape. Mold and water damage are evident. Could feel the springs in the mattress. Hard to get a good nights sleep. Best part was the proximity to city centre and transportation.

Very good location, good if you’re just looking for a bed and little kitchen which was good but the bathroom was pretty dirty and was lacking some basic stuff, I didn’t mind that there was no cleaning service but it would’ve been nice if they emptied the bins and gave us new towels etc - definitely good though if you want lower cost and just somewhere to sleep and eat

There was an online check-in system but no further instruction of how to get access to the building. We did not know the Hyde Park International is the reception desk until we were told by other guests of the hotel. Room was significantly different to pictures from the internet, not terrible but very different.

The worst! Avoid this place!!

This was the worst stay in my life. The studio which costed 358€ for was appaling in every possible way: We were dumped into a room below the ground, next to a laundry room- which kept us awake for most of saturday night. The bathroom looked like a cross between a murder scene and a collection of diseases, accentuated with bullet-like-holes on walls stuffed with toilet roll carton, peeling floors and a toilet that wabbled when it was sat on. On arrival, the hall smelled of curry and some strong cleaning up liquid. In our room there was a bug the size of my thumb that we had to kill before we could even drop our bags anywhere, and eventually I held back tears from friday until departure morning because this establishment for so awful that I considered flying back home the same night. After my initial disgust and shock, I calmed down, still wanting to see London and saw mattresses lined on the street leading to the Bayswater station, and at one point I considered sleeping on them for two nights instead of our room next the tumbling wachine machines, a rooster that kept parading for 1 hour every morning and floors so dirty that I couldn't even take my shoes off. I would rather sleep naked in a fire ants nest than in this place.

Our room didn’t look anything like the photos posted. Put in a basement suite that was very damp and smelled like mold. There isn’t a sign in front of the building so check in was pretty confusing. And the bed was very very uncomfortable. Only bright side about this place is it’s very close to lots of restaurants and the metro

Nothing posh about Kensington

Don't expect much. No Ac of course which mean s open window son a noisy busy street. Pictured rooms must be showcase rooms because it's not what we got. Amenities are spartan. Room was not ready at check-in, though I will say they fixed broken toaster and clogged drain quickly

The receptionist on check in day did not help to carry our carryon luggages to the 4th floors by stairs when requested and said that we are 70 yrs old and have heart problems. No elevators. No extra employees in the evening. Not for old and handicapped people.

Out only for the money.

Disappointing to see that there were no amenities such as kitchen towels, dish soap, and complementary items. The pillow was terrible and no blankets only a light comforter was offered. No window in the bathroom or ventilation so you can imagine. Very small apartment with very little space to put your belongings away.

Run down and dangerous

I have reached out to the hotel six times regarding these matters and, unfortunately, I haven't received a response yet. It was a bit confusing upon our arrival since there were no clear instructions for check-in. Thankfully, another guest was kind enough to let us know that there was a building down the road where we could check in, as it seemed to be part of the same business. It made the situation a little easier, but we certainly could have used clearer guidance from the start. The apartment we were promised in the pictures was nothing like the reality we faced; instead of a charming space, we were handed a dingy, dilapidated room that left us feeling utterly disappointed. There was water damage to the cupboards on the floor. Wires dangled precariously from the walls, creating a hazardous maze of exposed connections. Outside, scaffolding loomed like a giant skeleton, obscuring the view and turning the window into a mere frame for construction chaos. A power source was installed through the wall of our bedroom, utilizing an extension cord to supply electricity to the adjacent room quite stupid Early in the morning, a cleaning staff member inquired if we could reconnect the power source. The TV was broken of the screen turning multiple colours. Place just seen frankly dangerous and none of these concerns were taken seriously at the time or subsequently when brought to their attention. Indicating they know and they’re just getting money for appalling substandard conditions

After reading the reviews on Expedia, we did not know what to expect as they were going from an extreme to another. However, we were very pleasantly surprised by the studio on the 4th floor. The first studio was extremely filthy and the cleaning had not been done, but the receptionist was very understanding and immediately changed us to another place. While the bathroom severely lacked ventilation, the studio itself was very good. All essential amenities were provided, and the location in Kensington is very central and superb. The hold for the deposit was paid back the same day and the reception was available 24h. The only things to be wary about are the possibility to have a basement accommodation - luckily it was not the case for us, and the fact that there is no elevator. We were on the 4th floor, and it is something to consider if you have mobility issues.

Not as bad as it seemed like

This apartment accommodation right next to two different tube stops as well as Hyde Park looked great in the pictures and price wasn't too much in London standards so we decided to take a shot a book it. Location is indeed perfect and for sightseeing Circle line is very useful. There's also grocery store and many restaurants within 5-min walking distance from the hotel which was very convenient. Upon check-in we had to call the reception just to find out it's few doors down the street. I'm not sure if this is informed somewhere but we weren't aware of this. Lady at the check-in was very nice and polite so big plus to reception staff! Room itself was the one that tipped my review to the negative side. Room looked very worn out and in need of refurbishlment. Scratches and dents on the walls, creaky and loose door thresholds and handles and as a cherry to the cake a balcony door that doesn't stay shut. These things didn't really bother us as we were out most of the day but they stick out from the overall condition of the room. Room has fridge, oven, stove, microwave oven, fan and heater so well equipped. All in all our stay at Imperial Court Studios was good and we might even stay here again should we ever come to London. Don't let the first impression pull down your holiday feeling!
