Reviews for The Kensington
Perfect family holiday
Hotel was first class from start to finish. Nnamdi greeted our children with macaroons and playful spirit. The hotel was beautiful and clean. Room arrangements with two joined rooms was perfect. Breakfast has a wide variety and greet food and service. All around spectacular hotel. Would highly recommend.

Magnificent!
We just finished a 10 day stay at the Kensington and it was a magnificent stay. A big shout out to the KBar staff, they were all fantastic and great to chat with at the end of our days while we enjoyed a exceptional cocktail. The resturant staff are all amazing but our stand outs were Levente and Danielle. They both provided outstanding customer service and we thourally enjoyed getting to know them during our stay. For people taking the underground this hotel is so close to South Kensington station which makes it so easy to get to and from the airport and everywhere else. We can't wait to return, we just wish Australia wasn't so far away. Thank you Kensington crew for making our first London trip a memerable one.

An amazing “home away from home”
The Kensington always proves to be 'a home away from home'. What makes the difference is the attentive, welcoming and professional service without ever being intrusive. The pride of the hotel is definitely the Concierge Team, impeccably managed by Emiliano . Until the next City break!

A Perfect Birthday Stay at the Kensington - Can't wait to return
I recently stayed at The Kensington to celebrate my birthday and I can honestly say that it was a truly memorable experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The team went above and beyond to make me feel special and I was genuinely touched by the thoughtful birthday gifts - such a lovely surprise! The attention to detail and warm hospitality made my stay feel incredibly personal and welcoming. A special thank you to Thomas and the entire team for their exceptional service and kindness throughout our visit. Your efforts made my birthday unforgettable and we can't wait to come back! I highly recommend The Kensington for anyone looking for luxury, comfort and outstanding service in a beautiful setting. Top tip: The straveganza cocktail in the bar is a must!
