Reviews for The Kensington
Wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel!
We had a fantastic stay at the Kensington. The rooms are beautiful, food is great and the location cannot be beat. Everyone we spoke to was absolutely wonderful, but we particularly appreciated George’s help and kindness. We will absolutely be back on our next trip to London!

Wonderful stay!!
Beautiful hotel. The service is impeccable. Staff is wonderful. Room was very nice but a tad small. Breakfast was extremely well done. Sitting on the front porch enjoying my leftover fruit and charcuterie board from breakfast with a pot of tea was just perfect. Special kudos to Harvey, George and Mario. Thank you for treating me so special. Felt like a princess!

A Lovely Birthday Stay with Exceptional Service
My sisters and I had a wonderful stay at The Kensington this May while celebrating our niece’s birthday. We would like to thank the Kensington staff, especially Thomas and Daisy, who went above and beyond with princess-themed balloons and a surprise birthday gift bag that made her day so special! Our connecting rooms were clean, comfortable, and perfect for traveling with a toddler, and the breakfast was delicious with very attentive service. We truly appreciated the kindness and care from everyone and would gladly stay again in the future!
