    I traveled to the Kensington solo for Christmas last year from Houston. It was the best hotel experience of my life by far! The staff took great care of me, even upgraded my room (I was in HEAVEN!), and were available for my every need. The room was incredible and absolutely made my trip. Lots of space, great heated floors (probably my favorite part), separate tub/shower, great amenities. And QUIET! I loved it so much, I booked another trip for this Christmas, and I’m counting down the days!

    I recently stayed at The Kensington Hotel, and the experience was truly exceptional. The superb service and meticulous attention to detail were evident from the moment I arrived. The rooms were immaculately clean and spacious. The exceptional breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options. Additionally, the hotel's prime location, just a 5-minute walk from the tube station, made exploring London a breeze. Highly recommended!

    Staying at the Kensington was a dream. From the moment you walk through the front door covered with flowers, you’re in a serene, beautiful oasis. The service was exceptional and the staff did everything to make our stay lovely. The breakfast in the restaurant each morning was delicious and a wonderful way to start the day. I also need to specifically call out Harvey, who stood out as the best associate on the team. He warmly greeted us each day and was attentive to our needs. It isn’t often someone goes out of their way to be thoughtful, but Harvey really demonstrated what exceptional service looks like. My husband and I can’t wait to come back to London and stay at the Kensington. Highly recommend this lovely hotel.
