Bottom Line

The three-pearl Best Western The Boltons is more upscale than your typical Best Western, but still has a bit of the chain hotel's generic feel. The 57 rooms have iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers, and some have bathrobes and slippers. However, guests complain of weak air-conditioning and small showers. On-site features include a free buffet breakfast, a business center, concierge services, and free Wi-Fi. For something with a bit more personality, travelers could try Hotel Indigo London-Paddington, another three-pearl property.

Oyster Hotel Review

Best Western The Boltons London Kensington

Scene

A typical chain hotel with big windows and a cozy breakfast room

The Best Western's exteriors are majestic by chain hotel standards, with large white columns and brick along with potted plants. Inside, the modern lobby is adorned in gray tile, with big windows and brown armchairs. The breakfast room has blonde-wood tables and brown leather chairs, with gray tile floors and wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. The hotel is popular with business guests, and has a more upscale look and feel than the average Best Western.

Location

On a quiet street within a 10-minute walk of restaurants, a supermarket, and the tube station

The Best Western The Boltons is on a quiet residential street off the main road, with Earl’s Court Station a five-minute walk away. There's a Tesco Superstore and plenty of restaurants within a 10-minute walk, while the Linley Sambourne House, Holland Park, the Olympia Conference and Exhibition Centre, and Kensington Palace are all around a five-minute taxi ride. The London Science Museum, Stamford Bridge Stadium, the London Natural History Museum, and Royal Albert Hall are also within five minutes by car, while Heathrow Airport is 20 minutes from the hotel.

Rooms

An upscale spin on chain decor with tile showers, iPod docks, and coffeemakers

A variety of room types -- from Singles to Family Rooms -- are available, and all are awash in brown hues, from the generic artwork to the armchairs. Flat-screen TVs hang on the walls while coffeemakers and iPod docks sit on wooden furniture. Some rooms have slippers, bathrobes, and Nespresso coffeemakers. Some past guests have complained of weak air-conditioning. Contemporary bathrooms offer light tile matched to white bowl sinks and tile showers, with heated towel racks available. Essentiel Elements and Sundari toiletries are provided, and bathrooms have either shower/tub combos or small walk-in showers.
