Royal Garden Hotel

Location Service Comfort Breakfast Staff very friendly

Brilliant location next to Kensington Palace and close to High Street Kensington tube station for access to the whole of London and Heathrow Airport. The higher floors have nicer rooms and some have excellent views over the park towards The Albert Hall. Worth asking for one of those. Breakfast is great with nice range of fresh fruits, yoghurt, cereals, pastries/croissants etc. Hot food OK but not worth the extra. Plenty of fresh juices and as much tea and coffee as you want. Staff at reception excellent and moved us up from floor 2 to floor 4 without a problem. Try floors 5_8 however.

The very lovely and helpful staff

I had carefully planned a memorable getaway for our silver wedding anniversary—a West End show, fine dining, and a stay in luxury accommodation. The Royal Garden Hotel and its exceptional staff ensured our experience was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the accommodation delivered on every promise of comfort and luxury, just as advertised and praised in other reviews - so I shan't repeat those details here. But what truly set this hotel apart was the personal touch. I had mentioned how special this occasion was for my wife and me, and when we entered our room, we were met with thoughtful, heartfelt surprises. These weren’t just standard gestures—they were thoughtfully chosen, bespoke details that made us feel genuinely celebrated. A special thank you to Henry, Ryan and Yasmina(?) for making our stay so memorable. The breakfast was exquisite—beautifully prepared, generously stocked, impressive variety—in a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. The staff struck the perfect balance of attentiveness without being intrusive. I cannot recommend the Royal Garden Hotel highly enough. They made an already special occasion truly unforgettable.

From the moment you arrive at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, you sense a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and convenience. Nestled just steps away from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, the hotel is in a league of its own when it comes to location—offering both tranquil greenery and easy access to the city's pulse. Service is consistently described as exceptional—attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming. Dining at the Royal Garden is equally impressive. You can enjoy a sumptuous breakfast buffet at the Park Terrace, stunning afternoon tea, or the refined Chinese cuisine at Min Jiang on the 10th floor—complete with panoramic city views.
