We used to stay at the hotel many years ago and we found it to be just as good!
+ Breakfast very good selection and room good location. Don’t think we should have had to pay extra for certain things on
Menu.
− Didn’t agree with having to pay extra charge for items on breakfast menu.

Never disappointed with this charming yet affordable boutique in accessible Kensington
+ This boutique hotel in the heart of Kensington has a great bar/restaurant with sidewalk tables. A very personable staff makes you feel welcome from check in to checkout. I enjoyed their beautiful breakfast each morning and cocktails in their bar each evening. This is the 3rd time I’ve stayed here
Jul 2026 La Terrazza is perfect for breakfast only option...
+ We were staying at a hotel around the corner but didn't fancy the breakfast available, we were lucky enough to find this absolute delight of a restaurant, which is part of the Xenia Hotel - 'La Terrazza'. Served by the fantastic waiter Albino, we were welcomed from the get go, the fact we weren't staying there was irrelevant; Albino explained brilliantly our choices of menu - go for the buffet - brilliant value for money. We were £33pp with two rounds of tea (we could have had more), three rounds of buffet - we didn't eat again until the aiport that night - a few olives around 3pm we just didn't need it. Very laid back, beautifully styled restaurant, thick linen napkins, wholemeal sourdough toasted to order (other bread choices were available) and service with a smile and huge character - thank you Albino - we will continue to recommend and will be back :-)
Jun 2026 A Gem of a Hotel!
+ This was my fourth time staying at this hotel, and it has been consistently satisfying. Its location is excellent; the restaurant is top notch and the staff pleasant and helpful. The rooms are small but nicely done. What I truly love is that I can open the windows and get some fresh air. My only complaint is that the bathroom being quite small is a bit of a challenge but you make do. There is a bar adjacent to the main lobby which opens late with a limited food menu which I found very welcome after coming in from the evening theater.
I look forward to my next stay here.
Jun 2026 On oasis with true hospitality
+ My wife and I completed our second stay at Hotel Xenia and we look forward to coming back. It checks a lot of boxes for a great hotel in London.
Hospitality is the biggest thing. Khaled checked us in and provided a warm welcome. He was so kind and anticipated our needs. For example, Khaled proactively booked a cab to take us to the airport on departure day because he knew it was raining and cabs could be hard to come by.
The entire staff was like that: friendly, attentive, and focused on providing a great experience.
We enjoyed a nice brunch in the hotel restaurant. Like most hotels, the brunch was pricey, but the food quality and gracious, attentive service made up for it.
Our room was small, but that's the norm in cities like London. It was nicely furnished, very clean, and very comfortable.
Hotel Xenia is at the top of our list the next time we look for a hotel in London.
