“The Cura Hotel Kensington, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, positions itself as a boutique stay near Earls Court, but some past visitors have reported issues with room quality and service inconsistencies that detract from the intended upscale experience. While the location is handy for transport and sights, some elements need refinement to consistently align with its 4-star billing. Its proximity to Kensington's attractions certainly holds appeal.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Cura Hotel Kensington is often praised for its excellent location, just a short walk from Earl's Court station, which provides a direct line to Heathrow. Guests frequently highlight the comfortable beds and appreciate having a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities in their spacious, clean rooms. While most find the location ideal, some guests in rooms facing the main road occasionally notice street noise at night. The on-site Indian restaurant is a popular choice, especially for breakfast.

lovely stay near earl's court!

tube station reusable amenities friendly staff quick room
The location worked so well. it was a short walk to the earls court tube station! the staff were friendly. They offered umbrellas when it rained. i really appreciated that the hotel used reusable amenities. That's a plus for sustainability. the room was cleaned promptly each day.
The breakfast area sometimes felt a bit crowded during peak hours. It was only a minor thing though.

Decent Stay Overall

excellent location pleasant staff listed amenities noisy room banging doors little sleep
The location is excellent with a tube station only a couple minutes away. This makes getting around easy. The staff was also very pleasant and mannerly.. they had no issues throughout our stay. The hotel was very clean and came with all amenities listed.
My room was next to a very noisy one and I only managed to get to sleep quite late. The noise became unbearable again at 5.30 a.m. I needed to knock on their door then. The doors banged each time they closed and friends they were staying with were constantly visiting their room and banging the doors. I got very little sleep.
