My partner and I stayed here for a long weekend, and overall I was really pleased with our choice. The good points: - The location is excellent - a short walk to the tube stop, or to several of London's major museums, and is quiet and attractive with lots of good places to eat. - With regard to the hotel...

Coming all the way from New Zealand and after hours of flying, it was a relief to arrive at the Kensington Hotel and be warmly greeted, along with some hot towels to freshen ourselves while checking in. They even gave us a free upgrade, which was most welcome. Beautifully presented hotel. All the hotel staff were very friendly & accommodating.... More

The staff at the Kensington is wonderful. Friendly and helpful. We had daily breakfast included with our stay and it was excellent. We had a basic room which is small but I think pretty typical for the area. Common areas are quite nice as well. I went slightly over my travel budget to stay at the Kensington because it got...

From the pleasantly perfumed reception dest to the beautifully appointed rooms this hotel feels special. The bar... More

We stayed at The Kensington last week. An otherwise nice stay was ruined because someone on the staff stole a diamond necklace out of our luggage. The piece was hidden in a very discrete part of the luggage and would only have been found by someone conducting a complete search of our belongings. The manager insisted that his staff would...

The common areas - bar and lounge, reception, restaurants - are inviting, elegant and cosy. Staff are attentive and friendly. The rooms are well appointed, though I missed a bedside clock and a long mirror in the room I stayed in. And if that is all I have to complain about then this is a very good hotel indeed! One...

I missed my Gatwick flight was was in a pinch about where to spend the night while I waited for the next flight. My cabby suggested The Kensington Hotel. I'm so glad he did. I checked into the hotel with no reservation - was given a competitive rate - and immediate assistance re-booking my missed flight. The staff were delightful... More
