About Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St
Wrights Lane sits just off the bustle of Kensington High Street, one of west London's busiest shopping and dining stretches, with a tube station close by for getting around the city. The Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St occupies this quiet side turning, offering a base that's near the pavements, buses and restaurants of the high street without sitting directly on top of them.
The hotel has 706 rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and free WiFi, plus room service and drinks available in-room. Some rooms are on the compact side and a few guests have noted they could be better kept, so it's worth setting expectations accordingly. Facilities extend well beyond the bedrooms, with a restaurant and bar on site, an indoor swimming pool, gym, spa and sauna, a garden with outdoor seating, and meeting rooms and business services for those travelling with work in mind. Breakfast draws particular praise, with a wide enough spread to suit most tastes, and the staff are consistently described as helpful.
Beyond the hotel doors, Kensington's shops, restaurants and pubs are all within easy walking distance, and the nearby tube connections make the rest of London straightforward to reach. Laundry service, concierge and luggage storage round out the practical side, while onsite parking is available for a charge.
What guests say
fabulous location, lovely quiet rooms and most importantly, good working AC (which in the UK is hard to find!) The breakfast is amazing and for such a huge hotel, it's well organised and the staff don't seem stressed like in some hotels. All the staff I met were very friendly and well groomed, reception staff Youssef, Osman, Helen and Erika were all lovely and also the chef at breakfast whose name I didn't get was friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to come back and it's a good place for solo travellers. Some good shops nearby and for foodies and cafe hoppers, you couldn't ask for a better location

Great experience. We stayed here for 2 nights and have no complaints. Our room was lovely and clean. The staff were very kind and welcoming, especially Roshani who was very attentive and accommodating. We were even allowed to check in early as IHG members and given free late check-out. This was incredibly helpful for us. We had all the amenities we needed, including an iron and ironing board. The beds and pillows were so comfy and we had an amazing sleep. The location is great as well as it is literally round the corner from High Street Kensington underground station, so it was very easy to travel to using the tubes.Probably the best hotel experience I’ve had to date! Thank you!

Great location and lovely public areas. Booked a twin room in January for 3 nights in July. Arrived to be allocated a double, despite booking a twin and confirming this by email. I was travelling with my friend, this was not acceptable. The receptionist was most unhelpful and advised there were no twins available. She suggested we spend the night in the room and they would change our room the next day. We advised that this was not acceptable. The receptionist did not understand why we didn't want to share a bed. Eventually a twin room was found. It was so small we could not walk around comfortably. The second bed was up against the window. There was about 6 inches between the end of the bed and the wardrobe, which explained why the doors were about 18 inches off the floor! No refrigerator. Very poor and only suitable for a solo traveller. The staff overall were very polite and helpful. I do feel the reception staff need training in dealing with customers. We were made to feel like a nuisance and no apology was offered to us.

Stayed here end of May for a night. It was a great experience. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Room was a bit on the small size but it was comfortable, clean and quiet. Shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. The hotel was well situated for many attractions with good transport links. Breakfast was great.
