Not worth the money - whilst the hotel itself was fabulous, and the guest service, restaurant and bar were excellent, the rooms were poorly decorated and too small and not worth the money spent. I would not stay here again.

A memorable stay at the Kensington Hotel
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.

The Kensington is a lovely hotel with a wonderful staff. We had a twin room and the only complaint we had is that it was ridiculously tiny! We didn’t spend a ton of time in the room so it wasn’t a huge issue, however, for the cost a larger space is much preferred. The hotel has a restaurant, bar and pretty sitting area. The neighborhood is fantastic- wedged between 2 tube stations and there are a slew of restaurants and stores surrounding the hotel. South Kensington from is beautiful and quiet and within a short walk to Hyde Park. Overall, a great stay!
