The Kensington

This is a lovely small boutique hotel which provides excellent service, has a wonderful breakfast that is usually included in the package, attentive front desk staff, lovely rooms with nice bathrooms and he did floors, quiet rooms, and attentive staff. Will be coming back.

Really nice hotel at a great price for December in London. The room was large, bright and with some fantastic wallpaper. Bed was very comfortable and the shower extra hot which was really nice. Very close to Kensington tube station which gives you transport links all over London. Breakfast had some nice options and kept it fairly simple on making a choice. Overall a lovely hotel to stay at.

We had a fantastic afternoon tea at The Kensington hotel. The hotel is beautiful and we received a very warm welcome on arrival. We did have a slight issue on arrival as our pre booked reservation was not on the system and they were particularly busy that day. However the lovely Chandan kindly spoke to the kitchen team and had us seated in no time. The art themed afternoon tea was exquisite, a piece of art in itself! Chandan was very knowledgeable in the artists that inspired the afternoon tea. There are a wide range of specialty teas to choose from. We had the best time and can’t wait to return on our next visit to the city! Thank you!

My mom and I have been lucky enough to stay at The Kensington three times in the past year, and each stay has truly been more perfect than the last. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, with incredible attention to detail. It feels homely while still elegant, and the location is ideal. We prefer staying somewhere a little quieter, so this area is perfect for us. On our second stay we met Thomas, who is undoubtedly the most attentive and kind member of staff we have ever encountered. He has gone above and beyond to make our visits extra special. For example, on our last stay it was my mother’s birthday, and he arranged for flowers and champagne to be waiting in the room. One of my favourite things about the hotel is that although it is clearly a five-star establishment, it never feels pretentious or unwelcoming. There’s a warmth here that sets it apart from other luxury hotels. We have already decided to return early next year, and I’m sure there will be many more visits to come. See you soon, Órla

A great stay. The staff were excellent and friendly. Food was great quality. The room was clean and amenities were very good.
