Reviews for The Kensington

Fabulous Hotel in a great area

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

The Kensington staff are all fabulous. So welcoming and friendly. We absolutely loved the hotel. Booked deluxe king room, good size, super comfortable beds, great shower, excellent amenities. The dining and bar areas and beautifully decorated and comfortable. Excellent breakfast choices and fabulous cocktails. We loved everything about our stay at The Kensington from the moment we arrived, it was raining and the staff meet our car with an umbrella ❤️, till we left. We will definitely stay here if we visit London again. The area is stunning. One of the nicest we have stayed in in London.

An unforgettable experience in South Kensington

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

Our stay at this hotel was nothing short of magical and exceeded all expectations. I chose it to celebrate my wife's birthday, and thanks to the fantastic staff, it was an unforgettable surprise from the moment we arrived. I was met with flawless organization, with a spectacular setup of balloons, flowers, and a delicious chocolate cake that made the moment truly special. The location is exceptional, just a 5-minute walk from South Kensington station and a short distance (5-10 minutes) from two jewels like the V&A Museum and the Natural History Museum. The neighborhood is simply beautiful: clean, quiet, and incredibly safe, perfect for relaxing walks. The hotel is spotlessly clean, welcoming, and takes care of every detail. Our room was very comfortable and spotless. The staff deserves special praise for their kindness, hospitality, and constant attentiveness, which helped create a wonderful atmosphere throughout our stay. The breakfast was also excellent, with high-quality food and impeccable service. Considering the flawless service, strategic location, and charming atmosphere, the value for money is absolutely competitive compared to other London hotels I've visited. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a special experience in London. We will definitely be back!

WONDERFUL AND VERY BRITISH

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

We spent a wonderful weekend in London. With children in the city, at Harrods, Hamleys and the musicals. By chance, we came across this small and very fine hotel, which we discovered more or less accidentally. It not only met but exceeded all our requirements and expectations. From the moment we stepped onto the curb, it captivated us and made us Londoners for a while. The staff and the hotel are British in the best sense—especially polite and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay; we will 100% be back.
