My friend and I stayed here for a week in June and unfortunately, the hotel did not quite live up to my expectations.

I really wanted to love this hotel - especially considering how costly it was (my fault for booking during Wimbledon, I guess).

Here's an overview:

Good

- Style: contemporary and chic interiors complimented the old London architecture of the exterior
- Food: great bar food (pricy, of course) and delicious breakfast service
- Garden: hidden gem in london; it was great being able to unwind in the back with a drink at night
- Location: it's a bit out of the way (not much to walk to in the area) but this part of Kensington is very leafy and fairly quiet.

Bad

- Desk Staff: hit-and-miss. I was repeatedly given incorrect information from front desk and no one was overly friendly. The men working the desk at night were especially abrupt and indifferent.
- Bar Staff: I only ever noticed two men working at the bar. Neither of them ever smiled or greeted me politely. Sad.
- Rooms: would be nicer if they were bigger, especially given the price for them. The bathrooms are so tiny!
- Beds: ridiculously firm and uncomfortable mattresses (bedding was nice, though)

Overall

Next time I come to London, I will definitely shop around; I don't feel the service I received justifies the rates I paid.

I should have expected this though - I sent an email requesting concierge information 3 weeks prior to arrival and never received a response.

This is a nice place - small and chic, but it's not staffed as well as it should be.

We have just returned from three nights at the K&K St George. Upon arrivival we were 'upgraded' to an executive room on the first floor and anticipated something quite special. On the contary, the room was modest in size and the bathroom (without a bath) was possibly the smallest I have ever seen. Smaller even than University Halls of Residence. You had to squeeze down the side of the loo to be able to shut the door.
Lying in bed you could hear the TV in the next door bedroom and the loose floorboards outside the room creaked loudly when anyone passed by. In addition to this, the garden, an oasis of calm normally I am sure, was subject to all the obvious noises of the next door building site.
In general the staff were all charming and efficient.
Breakfast was satisfactory with all the usual choices but some offerings were pretty cold by the time they reached a plate.
This hotel is very convenient for the Earls Court Exhibition venue and the nearest underground is only a couple of minutes away. However, Earls Court Road is not the most attractive of London areas and you may need to travel further afield for evening activities.

After careful consideration and helped by the already very positive reviews on this site I booked the K+K Hotel George for a two night break for my sister, her friend and myself at the end of May. What a find - couldn't have asked for better. The hotel from the minute we set foot in it had a lovely feel and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. I had already emailed the hotel to advise that we would arrive before check-in and asked if it would be possible to store our bags. On arrival this proved to be no problem and check-in was seamless and efficient. The rooms as indicated on previous reviews may have been small by some standards but not that small that three girls sharing didn't have enough space. The room was fully equipped with TV, mini bar, tea making facilities and safe. The bathroom was small but was spotlessly clean and fully equipped with hairdryer, toileteries, an excellent shower and lovely clean white towels. However, the hightlight for us had to be the breakfast. Everything you could possibly want to get the day off to a great start. Having stayed in London before I was mindful of the fact that in larger establishments it can sometimes be a free for all when it comes to getting breakfast. I have even seen myself having to queue to get a plate! This was not the case with the K+K. Everything was fresh and constantly replenished with the glass of bubbly a nice touch for those who wanted to avail of it. My advice is to book direct with the hotel where the room rate is comparable to many other web sites but includes breakfast. For London the K+K proved to be excellent value for money. The hidden gem of this hotel has got to be the garden. We were able to sit in the garden after a hard day's shopping and it was almost possibly to forget that you were actually in London. The fact that the hotel was within a few minutes walk of Earl's Court Tube station was also an added bonus especially after a long day in the shops or when coming home late in the evening. For anyone travelling from Heathrow, as we did, it proved to be an excellent location - right on the Piccadilly Line. Our weekend was a birthday celebration for my sister and all and all I can say that the K+K Hotel George helped to make it something special. We hope in future to make this an annual trip and would have not hesitation in booking the K+K Hotel George again next year. In fact I was so impressed with the K+K in London that I have booked to stay in their sister hotel in Paris at the beginning of August. Top marks to the K+K Hotel George - we will be back.

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights in May of 2008. It was located near an underground station which was very convienient when going to see the rest of the city. The room was nice..small compared to United States rooms. Overall good hotel and great experience. Would return again when in London.
