Reviews for The Kensington

Nice Location, clean, comfortable

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 20 hours ago

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.

A Work of Art-Inspired Afternoon Tea!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

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 favorite place

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

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

Fantastic hotel in a great location

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

Outstanding Hotel with a great location and amazing staff We hadn’t been to London in 14 years and booked the Kensington having stayed in there sister hotel in Dublin in January. We were not disappointed, having had a disaster with our airport transfer were greeted by the door man I didn’t get his name but he had a fabulous top hat with a robin on it. We checked in and left our bags as our room wasn’t ready and set off exploring and they said they would call us when the room was ready. When we got back our suite room 117 was ready and wow it was worth the wait what a fantastic room the decor the size of the room was massive with a sitting area and the bed was so comfortable. The shower was outstanding one of the best hotel showers I’ve ever experience. We had been left a card some sweets and a good bowl with bottles of water which were appreciated. Harvey brought our bags up the room he was very friendly and told us if we needed anything to let them know. We had breakfast included in our package and the breakfast was so good so don’t miss it, my only suggestion would be that hold the hot food as both mornings we had just received our cereal and the hot food arrived which is a bit silly as the warm food os going cold so that would be my only criticism which is minor. We had dinner included the townhouse on our 2nd evening and it was lovely a really nice vibe and so nIce to to come down stairs and have good food, we had some Drinks in the bar after and I really likes how dark the bar was and danush was so welcoming and made some amazing and delicious cocktails make sure and stop by if you visit. All in all a fantastic hotel in a great location wouldn’t pass this hotel if returning to London. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the morning we’ left silaviiu I hope I’ve spelt it right was the door man and carried our heavy bags tithe transfer and asked us all About our trip so we felt valued.
