I booked the room based on images supplied by the property and availability, of course. The rooms appeared modern, clean, and uncluttered, as did the bathroom. The previously mentioned property pictures must have been taken immediately after renovation or were supplied to visualize what the completed work would like. Our room had the same flooring, cabinetry, and color scheme, but everything looked abused and worn out. Cabinet doors did not open or close properly as the hinges were pulling out of the frame. The floor was heavily marred and sticky. The bathroom was so small your elbows hit everything while trying to squeeze between the sink and door frame to the toilet. There appeared to be past water damage to wood work in and around the bathroom because it looked splintered and rotten. The bed filled most of the living space in the separate bed room, leaving little room for luggage. We were unhappy with the state of everything as it seemed like a bait-and-switch; so we grabbed our luggage, went out the front lobby, handed them the room key and told them we were not staying. We left and immediately found a fantastic hotel nearby with comparable pricing and only 20-minutes notice. Expedia reached out a number of times to Presidential Apartments staff, but had difficulty reaching someone with authority to discuss a potential refund. Ultimately when Expedia did make contact, management refused as we were past the cancellation deadline.

The Presidential Apartments- Kensington was the best stay I have ever had in London. The location is right off Earl's Court station. There are restaurants, pubs and markets in the neighborhood. Now to the room...oh my goodness! You could not ask for more in a room! There was a TV, dishwasher, wash machine, stove, microwave, oven, sink, half fridge, dvd player. I have never seen so many amenities in a room in my life. Not to mention the patio and comfy bed. It was all good here and we will be back!

We loved our stay here with our two kids. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! Loved the proximity to dining, groceries and Earl’s Court tube. Piccadilly line goes directly to Heathrow and St. Pancras station. We were able to leave our suitcases on our arrival day. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved the location and the staff was great! However the property is outdated. We were given a room on the fourth floor that had multiple issues with damaged floors and the bathroom is not kids friendly. We requested to be moved and the staff moved us to a room on the first floor which was much better without flooring issues. The staff and location is great though! Cleanliness was great too.

The hotel is conveniently located and short walking distance to Earl’s Ct. station. Just like any city, it can feel a bit unsafe. We had an encounter with an aggressive homeless man asking for cash and literally asking for a piece of our food while eating at a fast food place at night when we first arrived. We were hungry coming out of an 8-hr travel and needed to have something quick to eat. Overall, as long as you are aware of your surroundings and practice caution— you should be fine.

We stayed here for a week. Executive studio. We had a problem a check-in where we did not get the room we were supposed to have, but after talking with the manager, we were switch to the correct room type. This hotel is well situated, with easy access to a lot of nice restaurants.

Excellent location and excellent front desk staff. The room was well appointed with all the amenities we needed. We struggled a little with climate control, but we weren’t in the room much. Beds very comfy. Tiny item…the floors could have used a good scrub.

The only nice thing about this place was that it had more room compared to hotels. Poor quality bedding and decor, not very clean and pretty over priced for the quality and level of service.
