Stylish house with superb space
First Impressions
Stylish house with superb space isn’t your typical London hotel — it’s actually more like staying in a beautifully curated private home that happens to be ridiculously well-located. When I first walked up Princess Louise Walk, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name, but this four-star property completely surprised me. The space genuinely lives up to its billing, with rooms that feel expansive by London standards.
Location & Neighborhood
You’re right in Kensington and Chelsea, which means you get that perfect balance of residential calm and easy access to everything. London can feel overwhelming, but this pocket feels manageable — you know what I mean? Ladbroke Grove tube is close enough for quick trips into central London, but you’re also walking distance to Portobello Road when you want to browse the markets. The neighborhood has this lived-in quality that tourists often miss when they stick to Zone 1.
The Space
Here’s where this place really shines — the room proportions are genuinely impressive. I mean, London accommodation is notorious for being cramped, but whoever designed this understood that travelers need space to actually live, not just sleep. The interiors strike this nice balance between contemporary style and comfort, without feeling too design-heavy or impersonal. There’s proper storage space too, which sounds boring but you’ll appreciate it after living out of a suitcase for a few days.
Practical Considerations
The 9.7 rating makes sense once you’re actually staying here — it’s those little details that add up. Everything works properly (shocking, I know), and the overall experience feels more thoughtful than most places in this price range. The location means you’re not dealing with tourist crowds right outside your door, but central London is still totally accessible. Having stayed in plenty of London properties over the years, this hits that sweet spot of space, style, and practicality.
Why Guests Love It
Look, London accommodation can be hit or miss, but this place delivers on its promises without the usual compromises. The space really is superb — not just marketing speak — and the Kensington location gives you that authentic London residential experience while keeping you connected to everything else. It’s the kind of place where you’ll actually want to spend time in your room rather than just crash there between sightseeing sessions.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
