Reviews for The Kensington
A great London hotel we would happily return to
We’ve just had a great stay at The Kensington Hotel and would happily return. It’s a very cosy hotel with genuinely accommodating and friendly staff who make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The room was extremely comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed and excellent pillows, which made for a very restful stay. The hotel is set in a lovely, quiet area, yet surrounded by elegant bars and restaurants, making it a perfect location for both relaxing and going out in the evening. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable stay and somewhere we would gladly choose again.

Beautiful January stay
Very comfortable two night stay, cosy room is a decent sized double for British standards, no street noise. Excellent dinners, uncomplicated menu very well prepared and served. Enjoyed the beautifully decorated public rooms, including the sophisticated atmosphere of the bar. Friendly and professional staff, extremely well trained. Looking forward to returning.

Afternoon tea
Afternoon tea here was good, however the gluten free version was just not to the same standard and I really wasn’t blown away, limiting the choice and taste. Staff were slow and service was average. Decor was lovely, the setting really very Christmasy.

Business trip which was too short
a shame to return only for two nights at my second home ! A lovely upgrade and lovely room, slept very well and the cleaning lady was great!
