One night stay for a concert at the Royal Albert Hall which is only a 20 min walk away and a 5 min walk from South Kensington tube station. Room very good with a lovely comfy bed only minor issue is getting in and out of the ensuite(door could do with opening outwards). Would definitely stay again if attending Albert Hall

We enjoyed our stay at the Gainsborough. Our room was lovely and quite spacious. The breakfasts were excellent (across the road in the sister hotel). The only 2 negatives were the very limited availability of evening meals mid-week. However, the French Institute next door had a wonderful bistro. We should have gone there instead of trying the evening food at the hotel. And the other negative was the incredibly tiny en-suite shower room.

Location is excellent: on a quiet side street in Kensington with lots of bakeries and south Kensington tube station 5 minute walk. We stayed in a basement room of which I think the hotel has 3 or 4 and it smelled and looked a bit moldy and carpet was not clean or had been burned. Staff was really friendly and helpful.
