Reviews for The Kensington
The bestt Hotel
From the moment we arrived, Daisy and Thomas Keating made our stay truly exceptional. They remembered our names, went out of their way to provide thoughtful extra amenities, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We booked a king room and were upgraded upon availability — the room was stunning, with a freestanding bath in the middle and a beautiful view from the window. Everything was impeccably clean, easy to find, and perfectly arranged. The public spaces were warm and inviting, spotless, and smelled lovely. Breakfast was a highlight — the pancakes with maple syrup were amazing, the warm croissants went down a treat, and room service was fast and beautifully presented. Fast, friendly, and attentive service throughout made every meal and interaction a pleasure. Saying goodbye was the hardest part leaving such lovely staff, especially Daisy and Thomas Keating, who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, was truly bittersweet. An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Our wedding stay
We had the most amazing experience at the hotel for two nights across our wedding get away. The hotel were so friendly and helpful. They did so much to make it special for us on the actual wedding day and we are so grateful to them.

Our favorite place to stay in London
Everything about the Kensington is exceptional. Service is wonderful and personal, hotel facilities and rooms are beautiful and comfortable. We were well cared for once again, and we can’t wait to come back.

One of the best stays in London
If you want to stay upscale in London, I can't recommend The Kennsington enough. The location and the staff are top notch. And the food is on par with the property. One of the best breakfasts I've had at a hotel. Pay to money for the breakfast, it's worth every penny.

A London treasure!
The Kensington is a wonderful hotel, with excellent service, beautiful rooms, bar and restaurant, all within an elegant townhouse, which feels like a home. And the perfect location for exploring London's museums, culture and finest neighbourhoods. Highly recommended!
