Reviews for The Kensington

Incredible stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 7 hours ago

Outstanding experience. The hotel it’s truly beautiful and the staff is magnificent. The guys at the door were quiet charming and funny. Unfortunately I didn’t get their names. I need to emphasise Michael’s help and professionalism at reception. And Ash who looked after us at breakfast and gave us recommendations.

Something Special Happening Here

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Came rather late for check-in, however was greeted warmly and supported to park the car. After a little confusion, was placed in a lovely suite. There are always a few items in any hotel that can be improved, especially decor or faulty kit, but getting the service right can be some of the most challenging aspects, in my experience. The service here is incredibly person-centred, from reception, concierge or management. Nothing was too much trouble and staff seemed genuinely interested in how the stay went and motivated to assist. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the team worked for each other and covered any shortcomings. Whatever improvements management wish to make, please do not change the team, it is special.
