We spent 3 nights at the Porchester. The staff as very helpful, the room had everything we needed, but the electric points could do with some attention ( some didn’t work, and usb’s would be helpful), the breakfast was basic and could do with a bit more imagination. Finally the location is excellent with easy access to the city and lovely walks in Kensington Gardens

The window behind the blind needed a proper clean else room was ok, TV in the room not working properly and I think a lamp or light above the bed rather than relying on the main light, other than these stay was ok.

We were allowed to check in earlier than the time allotted. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Nice room on the top floor. Nice and quiet and clean, as were the corridors and reception rooms. We didn't have the breakfast, but it did look nice! Tube stations within about 5 minutes walk. Local High street had a good choice of eateries and shops. The lovely park was about 3 minutes walk. So, all good, I would highly recommend! 😊

Good stay if you’re just looking for somewhere to sleep. Room was clean and spacious for 2 people, location was good for public transit and walking to sites. Unfortunately the bed was extremely uncomfortable, a spring mattress. Our room lights did not work, nor the iron. It was fine but nothing special. The price reflects the experience

Although I was given a Club room, with coffee machine, bottled water and fridge, the room was very noisy. The mattresses and pillows were poor quality, so sleeping was a challenge. The TV did not work and I was informed that there was an issue with the antennas affecting the entire hotel. Overall a very disappointing stay & I won't be returning.

Great location and clean room. Mattress was super hard. Despite requesting an early check-in several times, upon arrival there was no room ready for me. Complete lack of hospitality upon arrival. I had to really advocate for what I needed. Personally, I wouldn't stay here again, but it was clean and in a great location, so Im sure if I had encountered nicer staff I'd enjoy coming back.

Simple problem of a faulty TV made challenging by inexperienced staff and no manager. Glossy pictures not reflected in facilities. Kind but ill equipped staff working. Didn’t match expectation and thus only stayed 1hour before checking out and booking elsewhere. No refund given
