Hotel Details

Location

Six minutes from Olympia Exhibition Centre and a 15-minute walk from Barons Court tube station, with shops and cafes right outside the door.
The property sits directly above a 24-hour convenience store, with a Tesco Express within 5 minutes and several restaurants, including Lebanese, Indian, and a local cafe, within a 5-minute walk. Kensington Olympia Overground station is a 2-minute walk, but has very limited weekday service. The most practical weekday connections are a 12-15 minute walk to Barons Court (District and Piccadilly lines) or Shepherd's Bush (Central line), or a 5-minute walk to bus routes 9 and 27, which run directly to Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. London Heathrow Airport is 17 km away, accessible via the Piccadilly line from Barons Court. The location is well-suited for attending events at Olympia and the Eventim Apollo (2 km), and for exploring neighbourhoods like Kensington, Notting Hill, and Portobello Road Market.

Dining

No on-site restaurant or bar. A fully equipped kitchen in every apartment allows self-catering, with a 24-hour shop downstairs and nearby cafes for breakfast and snacks.
Each apartment has a modern kitchen with an oven, hob, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and a tea and coffee maker, enabling guests to prepare their own meals. The convenience store directly below the building is open 24 hours for groceries and essentials, and a Tesco Express is a 5-minute walk away. For breakfast or a quick bite, George's Cafe and Costa Coffee are nearby. Several restaurants are within a 5-minute walk: Chez Abir Lebanese, The Keep of Brook Green, Beaconsfield, Mr India, Alounak Restaurant, and the Crown And Sceptre pub. The location is practical for self-catering stays, but there is no dining service within the property itself.

Wellness and Leisure

No on-site wellness facilities. Nearby options include cycling and walking routes in the quiet Kensington neighbourhood.
The property does not have a pool, gym, spa, or dedicated leisure facilities. Guests can use the surrounding area for cycling, walking, and exploring local parks. The neighbourhood is relatively quiet and well-suited for relaxed strolls. Nearby attractions include the Royal Albert Hall (4 km) and Portobello Road Market (3 km).

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi, a lift, luggage storage availability, and a 24-hour shop on site. No on-site parking, but prepaid public parking is nearby.
Free WiFi is available throughout. Each apartment includes a washing machine and dryer. A lift serves all floors including basement studios. Reception is not on site; key collection is arranged by phone or message, and a member of staff can meet guests for late arrivals until 23:30. Luggage storage before check-in and after check-out can be arranged with prior notice. No daily housekeeping is included; cleaning is provided only on departure. The property accepts American Express, Visa, and MasterCard. Cots are available on request but must be confirmed at booking. The building has secured entry via a key code.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Confirm the exact apartment number and floor level at booking, as units vary between basement, ground, and upper floors, each with different light, noise, and view conditions.

  • 02

    Plan to use Kensington Olympia station for weekend travel and Barons Court or Shepherd's Bush for weekday journeys, as the nearby Overground station has limited weekday service.

  • 03

    Arrive prepared with a cash deposit of £250 for the damage deposit, and note that the £250 refundable deposit is required upon arrival.
