Recent Royal Garden Member Worldhotels Review: "I stayed at the Royal Garden Hotel over the Easter weekend for three nights. Having stayed at a number of other nice hotels in many different places, I can easily say that this hotels was the best so far. The atmosphere in the hotel was so calm and relaxed. The staff had the perfect balance between being professional and friendly. Every member of staff  excelled in their posts. The Reception staff were outstanding. Very friendly and not the usual 5 star snobs that are so frequently hired to fill these posts. The food in the hotel was first class and very reasonably priced considering the surroundings. The staff in the hotel bars and restaurants were great, in particular Antonio from Southern Italy. Try the cocktails from thr drinks menu. The location of the hotel is ideal with a car park below the building. The Kensington High Street subway/tube station is about three minutes walk from the front door of the hotel. There are also lots of shops and restaurants located near the hotel. The hotel has an ideal location for sightseeing. We could walk to Harrods and Buckingham Palace from the hotel. The hotel room, Room 330, was excellent and very very clean. Great decor with a very comfortable large kingsize bed. The room had a great large screen HD free television set into the wall. Sofa and seating area in the room that looked out two very large windows.The windows could also open. The heating and cooling air conditioning was very good and very quiet. We had no noise at all from inside or outside the hotel. The Bathroom was very clean. It had a large double walk in overhead soaker shower and a seperate large deep bath. All toiletries were provided within the bathroom including bathrobes. It was a very comfortable room indeed. The bed was so comfortable with excellent pillows and crisp white linen. The hotel also has a well equiped gym which was very clean and provided towels and mineral water. We drove from Glasgow to London and the hotel was easy to find a short distance"
