Kensington Rooms - Warwick Road

It wasn’t really like on the picture but we had a lower ground room so I understand.

The room had no window as it was a lower ground floor. We had a fire escape door which was the only way to allow some cool air in during the heatwave. We were left a fan which helped a bit but, for the price of the room, its poor not to have a window and I couldn't recommend this place based on that fact.

The room was on the 3rd floor of a walk-up. It was fine for us, but we hadn't known this in advance, and would not have suited someone with limited mobility.

During summer it was very warm inside

Being summer the rooms were VERY hot and only one tiny fan was provided. Rooms would benefit from ceiling fan or aircon in summer. Street noice on the weekend would be very loud but luckily I only stayed a Sunday to Thursday.

During times of warm weather the room was far too warm.

In June last floor it was quite hot even with open windows and a fan running. Survivable but that was just our experience and circumstances.
Also great to have kitchen but was missing dishwasher soap to wash the dishes. Same with a soap in the bathroom.
All small things that should be easy to improve.

Steep and narrow staircase without the elevator might be a problem if you carry big luggage or you are not fit enough to climb (depending which of the three floors your room is on).

I am 160cm and felt the shower space was on the snug side. For anyone taller, suggest to leave the shower doors open. You will have a wet toilet but more space to move in the shower.

To pass through the main door you have to press pass code at the entrance but that unit is not 100% functional and some digits do not work as they should (like "2" fo example) so it is really anoyng when you have to try to get inside with a pass code for 5 times. It is just a question of time when it will stop to work and when guests will stay outside on the street. Second even more idiotic thing is that you have to walk from door to door on all floors to find which room is "yours" when you get inside for the first time, by trying to open all doors with some "app-key" and shortly blinking green light. After first time each and every time the only way to get in to the room is to use that application on your "smartphone" but what happens when you are out of the battery or in similar situations!? In short THAT APP-KEY DOWNGRADES SERVICE, it is beneficial only for the property owners and NOT RECOMENDED!
Also note that property still has 19th century single layer glass windows which does not stop noise from the street under the window at all. During cold period for sure it does not block cold air from entering the space. There were 2 PLASTIC STICKERS on the door of the room about "enviromental things" which makes all look even more ridicilous.
Also it would be wise and normal (not new normal) to add recycling bins downstairs in the corridor (plastic/metal/glass/paper).

The ventilation didn't work and it was very hot at night!

We did not received the booked/promised quiet room with the window to the garden for three but we had two rooms instead - one quiet and the second one with the window to the noisy street - almost not possible to sleep for four nights.
Besides - we were promised to receive cash back for the last breakfast because we were not having it - no money received up to now even if reminded several times.

Bathroom a bit to small for 3 adults.App is good and really good service but needs a little refining.

There was no AC and since it was hot we had to open the window and there was no screen so we got some flying bugs. The room was WAY smaller than shown in pictures.
