Summary: Small rooms. Comfy. Great location.

Summary: It’s a lovely hotel in an elegant part of town. There were a few glitches on check in (room wasn’t ready at 3:00, check in time, and then a first floor was given after upper floor was requested), but thereafter everything was pleasantly smooth.
Richard Jun 22, 2025 07:05:01 AM
Summary: We were extremely pleased with our stay at the Kensington. The room was great, the service was excellent. Can’t say enough good things about it. The location was also a positive. We wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else if we go back to London.

Lorna May 3, 2025 11:10:43 PM
Summary: it's a nice hotel to stay at. Staff friendly and kind. The picture is misleading as many of the rooms are small and the bathrooms tiny. That's the only thing i find disappointing you do need too up grade the room. The food is very good.

Summary: class hotel indeed
Veronica Apr 9, 2025 08:06:51 PM
Summary: I have been staying at the Kensington for a few years now. The staff and property are what keep me coming back. The location between Gloucester and South Kensington make it very convenient.
