Excellent hotel
Pros:

My favourite boutique hotel in London.
Location, service, amenities, room are excellent.

The hotel fuses Italian with English and is in the middle of London, a short walk the center. The breakfast is delicious and the spa access with David Lloyd makes is a perfect evening treat. The beds are very comfortable and rooms are pretty soundproof.

Glean well located hotel, small rooms. Nice staff
Pros:

The staff was nice and helpful. The tea kettle and cups were useful. The place was clean. The location and neighborhood were great.

Cons:

The room was small. The bed took up most of the space. It was difficult opening the suitcases and had to use the aisle space to do so. There was no plug in the bathroom to use the hairdryer.

Great place to stay for a trip to downtown London
Pros:

The customer service here is phenomenal. The hotel itself is located in between a couple tube stations for convenience and is in a neighborhood. There are lots of restaurant and shopping opportunities nearby. The rooms are small but clean. I would stay here again! The restaurant in the hotel has decent food, we sat in the bar one night and ordered a glass of wine and a charcuterie board, which was fantastic!

Perfect hotel in Kensington
Pros:

We always stay at Xenia when in London, and it’s always a pleasure. Rooms here are not big, but the design and atmosphere are fantastic. All the staff are welcoming, attentive and professional, and this in particular make us want to come back. Special mention to Alejandro and all the restaurant staff who always ensure breakfast is the best experience. The breakfast and coffee are fresh, varied and delicious. Already looking forward to our next stay with you.

Couldn't Have Done More to Address my Concern....
Pros:

I initially wrote a poor review for this hotel based on a real concern with a service issue.

The General Manager of the hotel took the time to sit with me and listen to me. He had investigated and apologized that his staff member had been at fault and he had addressed a training need.

I have stayed at this hotel many times over many years and am a returning guest.

I am putting my very negative experience down as a "one off" with the hotel addressing a training need for one staff member so the issue will not re-occur.

The Italian restaurant manger remains a "mainstay" of this hotel. He works far too hard to keep his guests happy - I hope Marriott give him the luxury vacation at a 5* resort he deserves, he is part of the reason I return to this hotel :-)

Großartig!!!
Pros:

Der Empfang war überaus herzlich, das Personal außergewöhnlich freundlich, und das Entree sehr einladend. Die Zimmer sind klein, aber sauber und gemütlich.

Cons:

Etwas zu teuer für die Größe des Zimmer-aber ja, es war Ferienzeit und da ist alles teuer!!!

Un rifugio perfetto nel cuore di Londra
Pros:

Questo alloggio è stato molto più di un semplice posto dove dormire: un rifugio accogliente dopo lunghe giornate a Londra. L’hotel è pulito, curato e silenzioso; la gentilezza ed educazione dello staff ci ha fatto sentire subito a nostro agio. Un’esperienza che porteremo con noi nei ricordi, e dove sicuramente ritorneremo. Lo consigliamo con il cuore!
