Hotel Xenia, Autograph Collection

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

I had the most wonderful 6-night stay at Hotel Xenia London, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and cared for as a Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite member. Mr. Paolo Guarini, the General Manager, and his exceptional team went above and beyond at every step, and their passion, professionalism, and warmth truly made my stay unforgettable. The property is impeccably maintained, with a modern elevator and attention to every detail that immediately makes you feel at home. Housekeeping was flawless—always replenishing water, providing my preferred L’Occitane toiletries, and happily accommodating my request for a small fridge for my medication. Breakfast quickly became a highlight, with the Eggs Benedict Royale perfectly prepared every morning. I especially want to commend Alejandro, the restaurant manager, who from day 2 onward personally ensured my breakfast experience was flawless, and Albino, who always welcomed me with the best cappuccino. My favorite outdoor table, with my Americano and sweetener ready, made every morning feel truly special. What impressed me most was how the team treated feedback as a gift. On day 1, my breakfast experience wasn’t perfect, but after sharing my thoughts, Mr. Guarini personally addressed it with the team, and Alejandro and his team ensured perfection for the remainder of my stay. Meeting Mr. Guarini on my last day, I could see firsthand how much he genuinely cares about guest experiences—it was thoughtful, gracious, and sincere. A particularly memorable moment was when my stay needed to be extended by a day due to a flight change—Mr. Guarini made it happen within minutes, keeping the same room and rate. This level of care and attention makes a guest feel truly valued. While not the cheapest Marriott in London, the value, service, and genuine kindness of the team make every penny worthwhile. They don’t just recognize Platinum Elites—they anticipate your needs and make you feel truly at home. Next time, I hope to enjoy the swimming pool, sauna, and fitness facilities, which I know can be arranged via the Concierge team. I now consider this property my home away from home when I'm in London, and I will happily return. Every detail, every interaction, and every gesture reminded me why Hotel Xenia is exceptional, and I am deeply grateful to Mr. Guarini and his team for making my stay so unforgettable. Giving them my highest recommendation!
