Hux Hotel, Kensington

Location o, the stuff in the apartment

No fatalities to dry clothes

Great location - right near to Hyde Park and the Royal Albert Hall. It’s a very quirky place - with stuffed animals wherever you look. Despite being near a main road, the room was lovely and quiet. The bed was super comfy too.

The location was excellent. Near High Street Kensington tube station. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area. Two excellent bakeries near the tube. I liked the quirky decor. We stayed in the apartments and it was great to have the kitchen and the extra space. The young man who checked us in and helped with our bags was extremely friendly and helpful. He was very welcoming and responsive to any questions we had.

We liked the quirkiness of the hotel with its animals and birds, it's beautiful wallpapers and lovely artwork. Our room was tastefully decorated.The staff made us feel welcome. Good air-conditioning in the room.

Our room was tiny, which we were not prepared for. We could hardly find an area on the floor to lay the case flat to empty it and repack it! The toilet area was also tiny, with barely enough room to dry yourself after a shower, and nowhere to lay out toiletries. No room for a chair in the room so had to sit on the bed. Prices in the bar were eye-wateringly expensive! They try to tempt you with a gimmick where if you buy a round, the next round is on them. When we tried to use it, we were told the drinks we wanted to repeat were not allowed! In the end, we never had our free round.
