Clean, modern, friendly and good value.
Great position for our visit to Olympia. Clean, modern & very friendly staff. Cosy room was very cosy, not a problem apart from no bedside facility on one side, so nowhere to put water etc. Also no tea/coffee making facilities. Would certainly stay again as very good value for London.

6/10 Good

Style over substance
The worst thing about this English hotel is there was no tea/coffee kettle in the room a nightmare if you personally aren't running on the same time zone as local restaurants and coffee shops. I was also very disappointed that the room was so tiny there was nowhere to leave my open case without tripping over or having to move it. The electronic gadgets, lights etc are very fancy and must have cost a fortune but my shower fitting was cheap and leaking slightly. I personally didn't find the bed that comfortable, a mattress topper might have helped. I suppose it would be OK for an overnight as the location is superb but I would never stay here again.

2/10 Poor

Tiny tiny rooms
Be ready to squeeze past your partner if you share a double room. Do not take more than 1 case into the room. You literally cannot pass each other without turning sideways Freezing cold rooms staff gave a tiny heater to solve this that didn’t. 2 nights here Ruined the end of our 10 day trip All 3 rooms should be sold as a single occupancy, Also cannot sit straight on toilet due to wall curving in very uncomfortable to sit sidewise

4/10 Fair

Nice staff. Poor service - room got cancelled .
Staff were lovely but room was dirty, had been smoked in and the shower dripped all night which made it hard to sleep. We also booked 2 rooms and at 9:30pm they called my son and cancelled my his room (he hadn’t check in in yet as was playing a professional football match and we had to go straight to dinner from there). That meant he had to stay in another hotel which was an hour away from this one walking or 45 mins by train. That really messed up our morning as it meant we couldn’t see him and had to send his birthday gifts over to the other hotel by Uber in the morning. Although the staff obliged and were lovely, it was a poor effort on behalf of Point A. Cancelling that late in the evening when you are already out is not good. How do you double book a room? He had already paid for it. We almost always use Point A hotels when going to London. Not sure we will use this one again.

The Point A was a great basic hotel (but it had everything we needed) in a perfect location (Kensington). The lobby cafe was convienient (with a fresh, yummy menu), bright and welcoming. The rooms were small but very clean, technology friendly and quiet. Staff were always available and very helpful. The hotel is in walking distance of a big grocery store and the metro station. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you don’t need a full service hotel. Fabulous experience and great value!

A bit further out than I usually stay and rather a small room for two twin beds but buffet breakfast in the lobby was nice . About a ten minute walk to a station to head in to the city. But a pretty area and rather eclectic.

Small but clean room with comfortable bed. My room was right by the main road and it was quite noisy. Recommend bringing earplugs.
