Hotel Xenia, Autograph Collection

We recently stayed at the Hotel Xenia for 8 nights while on a leisure trip to the UK. The location of the hotel in Earl's Court was great, a short 2 blocks from the tube station which has great access to the District, Circle, and Piccadilly lines. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the front desk staff, assisted with our bags, and thanked for being Platinum Elite members. We were given an overview of the hotel, a summary of what to expect at breakfast and then handed our room keys, which was a room that had a balcony. While the balcony was amazing, the bed in the room was up against the wall which did not work for us. The front desk staff immediately changed us to a room that had a bed that had access from three sides, as we preferred, and took us to view the room prior to making the change. This change was much appreciated as we were there for a longer stay. While the rooms are compact, they are spotless and have everything required for a comfortable stay including coffee and tea making facilities, robes, slippers, and bathroom amenities. The AC was great as we also enjoy a cooler room. The bathroom had a large walk in shower with great supply of hot water and great water pressure. Breakfast was superb. A consistent selection of scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, sausages- pork and chicken, bacon, fried mushrooms, assorted pastries, cereals, fresh fruits, yogurts, and spreads. All items on the menu were also presented and available for order including avocado toasts, Eggs Benedicts, and poached eggs to order. I cannot say enough about the staff in the restaurant- we dined there every morning and for one dinner. By the second morning, we were greeted by name, our room number was known, as was our coffee order. Albino and Hassan were particularly personable and a delight to chat with but honestly all of the staff were, even when we did not specifically note their names. Overall a wonderful experience at Hotel Xenia!

Great location very close to 2 tubes and a wealth of fabulous restaurants within walking distances. As others have mentioned Haydar is fabulous, really fantastic service. Room has lots and lots of high end toiletries and fluffy robes etc etc. The rooms are just sooooo tiny. I know it's London but a 500$ a night i couldn't stay for more than 1 on business it's quite claustrophobic.

Had an amazing stay at the Hotel Xenia AGAIN in lovely London Kensington. The location is ideal (close to shops, restaurants, and two great parks - Holland Park, Hyde Park, among others), and the rooms (while petit) are comfortable and quiet and well appointed. The front desk staff and lobby folks are very helpful and quick; they feel like family. Everyone is so helpful with directions, questions, or needs. The breakfast in La Terraza is the best around, hence my return. They serve hot and cold items like eggs, sausage, bacon, yogurt, fruit, nuts, cheeses, cold cuts, over 6 fresh breads and pastries, and my all time favorite - the fresh fruit selection, including freshly pressed juices too. Really is a great breakfast. For dinner, you must try the basic penne pasta with tomato sauce and basil. Something about it is incredibly delicious. The pasta and sauce together are among the best I've had anywhere. While I receive nothing but the best service from this restaurant staff and bar, I need to give a quick shout out to Olga, who has been working this restaurant for eons, and always welcomes me with a smile, remembers my name, and gives impeccable service. I'd be lying if I didn't admit she is one of the reasons I return to the hotel, and the restaurant. Thank you Olga for your warm and friendly service! And thank you to the entire team at Xenia. I will be back anytime I'm in London.

Wonderful hotel in Kensington. We had an enjoyable 3-night stay in London before our cruise, and the Hotel Xenia was perfect base for our visit. The entire staff was welcoming and attentive from the moment we were met at the sidewalk to help us with our luggage. We arrived early for check-in and our room was ready. As at many boutique hotels in London, guest rooms are a bit smaller, but our room was well-appointed, bright, clean, and stocked with Nespresso, coffee and teas, and hot water pot. We had a lovely afternoon tea in La Terrazza, the small restaurant/bar on property. Delicious sandwiches, teas, scones, jam/clotted cream, and desserts. Our host, Albino, and entire staff provided excellent, personal service. We met Mr. Guarini, the General Manager, at check-out, and he really cares that every guest has a great stay. We highly recommend the Xenia, and would return the next time we visit London.

Great hotel and location! Usually in my reviews I just say good and customer good But this hotel from Hayder the wonderful man who is at the entrance with his smile and attitude makes it all wonderful, service at hotel felt like 5 Star hotel Nice restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My compliments to Alejandro at the restaurant. Beautiful bar for late drink and the service. Rooms were small but service made up for that. Great location in Kensington Easy to take train(tube) and go to restaurants by Erolds area with pub Ahhh!!! Forgot the gym adjacent to hotel but part of amenities Top gym
