Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hux Hotel is often praised for its superb location, with Kensington Gardens right across the street and convenient access to the High St Kensington tube station. Guests appreciate the well-equipped rooms, some featuring kitchen details like water, milk, snacks, tea, and coffee. While most find the rooms comfortable, a few guests have noted that some of the smaller rooms can feel quite compact. The bar is a popular spot with excellent music and drinks, and the hotel's unique decor, including features like a peacock in some rooms, tends to leave a positive impression.

I found the staff very friendly. they offered extra time in the room the following morning and two drink tokens at the bar to celebrate. some decorative banners were put up in our room, a really nice touch. the hotel vibe was amazing. There were many interesting interior design details to admire and the building looked very well kept.
the shower had low water pressure, which i found a bit inconvenient.
