richard.familyDec 01, 2024 Located in a convenient location near the South Kensington tube stop. Rooms are immaculate and comfortable. Entire staff is friendly and welcoming. Have stayed many times before and plan to stay there again. Highly recommended!
brian.partnerNov 30, 2024 Everything about this place is great. Good service, and everything from check in to check out was smooth. A 5 star hotel that lives up to its stars.
Beautiful hotel, wonderful staff, excellent bar and food, excellent location, highly recommend!
robin.friendsNov 02, 2024 Fantastic service. Sylvio and daisy and all of the staff made this a 5 star experience. Beautiful, historic property with all of the modern amenities. Beautiful bar with great bartenders. Can’t wait to return.
SW7 (South West London) is one of the best Post Codes in the entire city and country, lovely buildings / restaurants and plenty of historic sites to see so you expect the hotel to be on a par with it’s surroundings and for some parts it was: restaurant/ bar/ lobby area - all really nice.
We’d stayed in the area on many occasions before but thought this time we would try The Kensington. Booked the std room - (which to be fair hadn’t done in any of the other previous hotel stays) but never checked the room square footage (or meterage as it was). The bathroom ( no joking) was less than 4sq metres - maybe closer to 3- probably the smallest bathroom I have ever had anywhere in the world. From the centre- I could literally touch any of the 4 walls without moving from my spot. I could touch the left side/ right / front and back all from the centre. The bedroom ( having moved from the first given room) was 13-15sqm, like a box and not value for money at £450/ night (in my mind). I didn’t particularly enjoy the stay but don’t get me wrong it is still a nice hotel. Special shout out to Lucian - very helpful. Checkin person in question- a little less so! Oh yes, don’t try and ask for a drink after 10:30pm (weekdays). Bar closes at this time.
Good position in London
The room has everything you need expresso machine and kettle
Don’t like a shower over the bath
jacques.familyOct 19, 2024 fantastic hotel with excellent customer service. Simply the best!
Loved it. Great service. Would return
A lovely stay with no drama
Very friendly and polite staff. Room was well-appointed and in excellent condition.
You have to consider this property as one of the best 5 star values. Absolutely the best
The place is not clean and not comfortable.
Wonderful small hotel in a great area but honestly the rooms are so small that there’s barely room to turn around. Not worth it.
Amazing facilities and staff. Would definitely stay here again!
sydney.familyAug 30, 2024 Consistently my favorite hotel in London. Beautiful. Clean rooms. Great amenities and a wonderful staff. Walking distance to all the museums and great shopping. We love it here! We will return soon!
stephen.familyAug 25, 2024 The Kensington is always welcoming.
amanda.familyAug 19, 2024 The Kensington is my new favorite hotel! It couldn’t have been more perfect from the gorgeous exterior to the lovely interior space, exceptional staff - especially George the Concierge- and the roomy and nicely decorated rooms. Can’t wait to go back!!
Although my room did not have a great view, my stay at the Kingston was fantastic. The staff is incredible…and I mean everyone from house keeping to concierge. Super attentive and helpful.
Love this hotel and location!
howard.familyJul 22, 2024 The property is well located and the staff is what made it great. Diana at the bar was amazing and walked our cocktails to our room when checking in. She mentioned our room didn't look up to par and so they comped a round of drinks and helped us get upgraded the next day. Gabby at the front desk was amazing and she was so helpful when we ran into a mechanical issue and had the staff move our rooms
