Millennium Bailey's Hotel London Kensington

I've stayed at other hotels in Kensington, but I think Baileys is the best yet for me at my price point. The staff were pleasant and helpful, the room and amenities were great, and the bar & restaurant were good - not too busy, but not too quiet either. The location is great, just beside Gloucester Rd tube station, with easy walk to museums, cafes, restaurants etc. It'll be my first choice when I go back.

My wife and I have stayed at the Millennium Bailey for three years in a row now. It is a well-run establishment, the staff is well-trained and very courteous, friendly and helpful. Judy and I got spoiled last year, somehow getting a corner room which afforded a nice view of a very pleasant intersection. We liked that better than this year's accommodations for sure. We were offered an upgrade for 60 pounds more per night, but we thought that price was a bit excessive and declined it. Perhaps we should have accepted it. No complaints from this source! The food was fine, the bar area was clean and well-staffed and the counter staff was professional at all times. The MB has one HUGE advantage over other venues: right across the street is the Gloucester Road tube station, which makes it almost perfectly accessible from all parts of London.

Very helpful staff, free wi-fi in lobby was very much appreciated, and the location is great. Across the street from the tube station, taxi stand, easy walk to many attractions. It was also lively and safe at night. Room was small, typical of Euro hotels, but clean. Bathroom was unusually large. More reasonable laundry option would be nice.

I have stayed here a number of times and in general am pleased with the hotel. Great location in Kensington. Across the street from the Gloucester Road Tube stop for easy access all over London via the Circle, District and Piccadilly lines with easy connections from Heathrow via the Piccadilly Line and Gatwick via the Gatwick Express through Victoria Station and connections by Tube to the hotel. Many restaurants, sights, museums within easy walking distance. I was disappointed in not having even a continental breakfast included in the rate. I didn't expect a full English breakfast, but in Europe EVERY hotel offers at least a continental breakfast. That is my only major gripe. They offered a hefty 'discounted' 12 pound breakfast special which we declined and ate elsewhere for much less. Otherwise, I would recommend Bailey's as a very clean, well located and traditional London hotel.

Just steps away from the Gloucester Road tube stop and several bus stops. Tons of restaurants and pubs within minutes walk. Drugstores, grocery stores all within a few minutes. Was there for first visit to London. Was with my wife and three year old son. I had no problems getting around. Area was always busy with pedestrian traffic and always well lit, so there was never any issue of safety. I certainly would go back. Only issue is that the Gloucester Road tube stop does require climbing 25-30 steps of stairs at one point. If you have a lot of luggage or if you would have troubling moving luggage through that obstacle then seek an alternate means of arriving/departing the hotel. If you are traveling light or are relatively fit, the stairs should be no problem. The room itself was typically European: smallish compared to U.S. standards but not the smallish I have been in. My wife, I, and three year old decided to share the bed; it was tight but we all slept well. The room was clean, the shower's water was hot enough, the vanity was tiny, the shower's fixtures were different but in the end got the job done. The lobby is a pleasant place to wait for other guests before heading out; a nice spiraling staircase starts in the center of the lobby area. Staff was courtesy, nice, and responsive, but we are not particularly demanding travelers so we did not 'test' them much. We enjoyed London for four days and three nights here and the hotel did nothing to detract from our experience. We never used the attached restaurant, but the patrons we saw within all seemed to be enjoying themselves, and the it was usually quite busy but never full. Free internet would have been nice; I paid 20 pounds/day for access (for business). Free wifi across the street at Starbucks.

great location, lovely hotel. staff were very friendly and helpfull, would book again!

Great hotel for location, service, friendliness and price. Directly opposite Gloucester Rd. tube station and bus stop outside. Larger than normal rooms, quiet and plenty of budget restaurants close by.

Breakfast provided was excellent; my room was spacious & toiletries provided were first class; the staff was friendly & helpful (though some were not too fluent in English); great to have a plentiful supply of newspapers & magazines available for guest use; and the location close to tube station & Kensington´s museums fantastic.

Lovely hotel in a great location.

Internet connection for laptop possible, for high price. Standard Rooms very small. Position is over the street to Gloucester Tube. Very good to the airport and in the city.

Really good location - excellent staff but 20 pounds for each 24 hours of in room internet access is a bit steep.

the room was tiny, the floorboards noisy, the hot water cold........ wouldn't recommend room 229 to anyone

Kettle provided I had to use on the floor, the shower did not provide hot water until maintenance was called out.

We could not have been happier with this hotel. Where breakfast was not included in our room rate, this did not matter. The number of lovely cafes and eateries in the area to choose from made no inclusion of the meal a bonus. The proximity to the tube was fabulous and it was an easy distance to Hyde Park for a morning run or stroll. Would definitely stay here again.

the hotel was very good however one point i would make is that it is overdue for interior decoration.

Perfect location right across from Gloucester Road tube station. Room small - bathroom very small! - , but everything clean and cosy. Staff welcoming and friendly.

The location was great, just across the street from the tube and buses. Gloucester road has many dining facilities and a 24h Tesco. The rooms are quiet, nice and clean, and the staff very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Including Breakfast, the cost was reasonable. The location an access is convenient.

This is an acceptable hotel in a convenient location, just across the road from Gloucester Road tube station and therefore convenient for Heathrow and also for the shopping areas of London. The price was competitive and I'd go there again.

My all time favorite hotel in London. Just getting a little bit old, but due to its location and easy transport alternatives can not make any other choice. The rooms are very clean and big, but they should stop charging for the internet.
