Reviews for The Kensington

A Lovely Birthday Stay with Exceptional Service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

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!

Excellent stay, just a little disappointed with the room size and lack of view for the money.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

The staff were all very friendly, professional and very accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The dining and sitting areas in the main hotel are beautifully designed and decorated. This hotel is very family friendly and our daughter was given some treats and two teddy bears. The complimentary items in the rooms are excellent. You could just turn up without a toothbrush, razor or any toiletries as they are all provided together with bathrobes and slippers. The hotel is in a great location in South Kensington, very close to the High Street, Chelsea, Sloane Square, Kensington and Hyde Park, and the Museums. Whilst I appreciate the service and the location and the ‘bells and whistles’ the only criticism would be the room. Ours was rather standard with no view for the cost of circa £450 per night. It was billed as a deluxe family room but it was a king size bed and a camp bed style for our daughter. If it was cheaper I’d have no complaints at all but maybe that’s just the price of London hotels these days. We had a lovely stay in any event.

Fantastic visit!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Loved the hotel location. Staff is outstanding! With an underground station nearby we were able to get to all the locations we wanted to see. Breakfast each morning was perfect. Nice quiet neighborhood with shopping and food options within walking distance. We will be back.
