We spent 1 night at the hotel in November....thankfully only one night! Upon arrival the receptionist(possibly also the owner) was far from welcoming. We went up to our room via the lift only to discover that you need to go up and down lots of stairs anyway to get to it as the lift only serves part of the hotel.... More

We stayed at the Kensington last weekend as it was booked by friends. Lets start with the good things, the food was OK and the dining room very tastefully decorated, its a shame the rest of the hotel is not. Our room was dirty, hand marks all over the doors, room sloped one way, bathroom sloped opposite way. Carpet filthy... More

We were told there would be parking, which there wasn't, when we asked where to put our car they replied it was... More

We booked on the internet & When we arrived I thought we had made a mistake, the approach & entrance were not the best I had seen, but once inside we were greeted by very friendly staff. We had a sea view with a great panoramic view of the lights up & down the front.The room was clean & comfortable... More
