Location
Guest Reviews
Loved the hotel location. Staff is outstanding! With an underground station nearby we were able to get to all the locations we wanted to see. Breakfast each morning was perfect. Nice quiet neighborhood with shopping and food options within walking distance. We will be back.
We have stayed at this hotel several times and always love it! The staff are very helpful and kind, especially appreciated the help of the doorman, George. The hotel is clean and the beds were comfortable. There are lots of spots to sit and relax with friends in the lobby.
A little late posting this, I just realized that my review from October never submitted. But my experience was too good to pass up a review. After traveling all night from Florida with our then 15-month old, we were obviously exhausted. We were welcomed to the most beautiful and accommodating hotel. We were able to check in early and get the much needed rest we longed for. It was mine and my husband’s anniversary, and they had chocolates waiting for us and a teddy bear for my son. All of the staff was extremely helpful, but I have to give a specific shout out to Harvey. He worked so hard and bent over backwards for my family. When my husband picked up our rental car he was having trouble putting in the car seat in Harvey personally, came out and assisted him. Then, as we were leaving, our phones were messing up, and Harvey gave us a sim card so we could have service. The service was very personal and genuine. Anytime we are back in London this will be our stop, no question. I hope Harvey is treated well there because we never want him to leave!
The location is good and the people working in the hotel are very nice.
The room I was given was barely 10 square metter, as I went to the shower after a 25hours journey in the plane, I barely could fit in and the bwthroom got flooded
I got changed for a "Better" room but still it was not at all the room I booked
After three days and many complains I got upgraded to a bigger room that was nice and very comfortable
The walk to the bedroom is not the same standards as the reception.
Ambiente estremamente accogliente e intimo. In tipico stile inglese di alto livello. Non da per niente l'idea del mega hotel internazionale o della tipica catena di lusso. al the Kensington troverete una struttura a misura d'uomo ma estremamente curata nei dettagli, dalle camere alle aree comuni al bar e alla qualita dei prodotti e dei servizi. Estremamente consigliato.
Il prezzo e molto alto ma ne vale la pena
Stayed at hotel about 10 years ago and it was lovely then but now it is gussied up and even nicer! Beautifully decorated - the common areas feel like a posh private residence...serene and relaxed...
The nicest staff!
Everyone friendly and helpful...
Always big smiles...
Rooms are clean and quiet and comfy...
We had breakfast included and it was delicious - not a buffet - tables in gorgeous dining room - lots of options on the menu...
IMO south kensington is the very best area - tube stop so convenient and easy, many cafes and restaurants and shops nearby, close to museums and harrods, charming streets of very well maintained residences, and so quiet!
No horns honking or sirens...a delightful hush in the air...
Do not hesitate booking here!
J'ai été désagréablement surpris lors du check out, ayant du régler 12,5% de taxe lié au personnel de l'hôtel.
J'avais justement choisi Booking pour le côté all inclusive.

Loved the decor. Warm and cosy. Nice quiet area in London.
Nothing. It was fine.
Yet another fabulous stay in the wonderful Kensington Hotel. It really is an absolute gem. It is such an elegant hotel but with a lovely, relaxed charm. The interior decor is beautiful - very soothing and refined. The food is delicious and the breakfast is one of the best I have had anywhere. Whether sitting in the Front Terrace and having a coffee or in the elegant Drawing Room enjoying a drink in the evening after a day sightseeing, its a very special place. Many thanks to Tom, Ali and all the staff who were so helpful and pleasant in making our stay such a lovely experience. We look forward to visiting again soon. Highly recommend.
It was decent value, the staff were friendly and helpful, location was excellent, the gym though I did not use in the end was very good I thought for that size of hotel. I’ve seen smaller less equipped gyms. The food was also very good. Wine was decent.
There wasn’t anything not to like. I’ve been in plusher five stars, but not for that money.
