Incredible Stay!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Incredible family stay at The Kensington! Highly recommend to anyone traveling to London! The service, dining, room setup, and location were perfect for our family of four! Tom and Daisy went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We hope to return soon!

Great classic hotel, excellent service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

This hotel really exudes an old London charm and vibe. There are lots of great little lobby nooks and the staff really went above and beyond here to make our stay comfortable. Particularly Noel at the front desk really helped accommodate our needs and the breakfast staff really provided a five star level of support and enthusiasm.

The Kensington Felt Like Home

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

The location of The Kensington was ideal for our family. There are casual restaurants and cafes in walking distance to the hotel. The neighborhood is very safe and clean and quiet compared to staying in the theater district or other high-traffic area of London. The atmosphere of this boutique hotel is very posh. The interior design, fresh flowers in the lobby and hotel rooms expresses the hotel's attention to beauty and detail. We booked two rooms on the fourth floor and could not have been more comfortable and pleased with the space, fresh linens, soft towels and bath robes, slippers, etc. Everything in the hotel is clean and you always see the cleaning ladies in the lobby or on the floors cleaning rooms. The amenities were also great - we used their laundry service once, their gym, free magazines and daily newspaper, etc. We paid for daily breakfast service and that was also incredible food and a great way to start our day. The hotel Manager, Tom, and Daisy and their entire wait staff were attentive to our needs, always polite and on time. There was never a miscommunication or mishap during our stay. The amount that we paid per night was worth every penny. We loved calling the hotel "home" for six nights - it was truly a comfortable, beautiful and happy place to stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to another couple, group of friends or family.
