Cosy and kitted out

You’ll find Point A Kensington tucked just off Cromwell Road, only a short walk from Earl’s Court and Olympia London. From here, it’s easy to explore Kensington Gardens, visit world-class museums, or wander up to Notting Hill’s colourful streets and boutique shops.

Step inside and you’ll find a warm, welcoming space with cosy fireplaces, soft seating, and quiet corners made for reading, working, or simply relaxing with a coffee. When you book direct, you’ll also enjoy a free breakfast to start your day right.

Our compact, modern rooms are designed for comfort and calm. Choose a bright room with a window, a skylight for extra natural light, or a peaceful windowless option if you prefer total quiet.

Real stays. Real stories.

The hotel was in a great location, very easy to navigate and get to the Tube station to get around London! The room and bathroom were very clean, we had two people with two twin beds. There was enough space for our luggage and to unpack some. The staff was very helpful and kind when we were going in and out throughout the day.

Comfortable, clean, modern, air conditioned room. Great buffet breakfast. Handy part of town if you’re wanting to get to the museums. Even though the hotel is situated next to a busy road, the room was perfectly quiet.

Located between Kensington, Earl’s Court and South Kensington, Point A Kensington is close to top museums, green spaces, and landmarks. From events at Olympia London to the Natural History Museum or the buzz of Notting Hill Carnival, it’s all within easy reach.

  • Earl’s Court: Just a few minutes’ walk away, Earl’s Court is known for its direct Tube links (District and Piccadilly lines) and historic charm. It offers easy access to Heathrow and serves as a gateway to both West and central London.

  • Olympia Exhibition Centre: One of London’s key venues for trade shows, exhibitions, and live events. The hotel’s close location makes it popular with business travellers attending events here.

  • Natural History Museum & V&A: These two major museums sit side by side in South Kensington and are often visited together. Expect everything from dinosaur skeletons to world-class fashion exhibits - perfect for families, couples, and culture fans alike.

  • Science Museum: Science Museum is a family favourite with rockets, hands-on exhibits, and interactive galleries. During school holidays, it often hosts special events and pop-up activities, making it a great choice for a fun and educational day out.

  • Hyde Park: A short walk brings you to Hyde Park’s western edge - ideal for a morning jog, weekend picnic, or attending one of its big summer gigs like BST Hyde Park.

  • Kensington Palace & Gardens: The royal residence of William and Kate is tucked inside Kensington Gardens. It’s a scenic and peaceful spot to explore, especially during spring and early autumn.

  • Royal Albert Hall: One of the UK’s most iconic concert halls. Just a short walk from the hotel, it regularly hosts everything from the Proms to rock, jazz, and film screenings with live orchestras.

  • Notting Hill & Portobello Road Market: Known for its pastel-coloured houses, vintage shops, and the famous Portobello Market. It’s also the heart of Notting Hill Carnival, Europe’s biggest street festival, held every August Bank Holiday just a short walk or bus ride from the hotel.

  • Design Museum: A modern, thoughtfully curated space focused on contemporary design, architecture, and culture. Tends to be quieter than the main museum cluster - great if you want something a little more offbeat.
