The Kensington Hotel — Restaurant in London

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. This has been by far the best hotel I've ever stayed at in London. I fell in love with the city a few years ago and since then I have stayed in four different hotels in London. None of them are even close to what The Kensington Hotel is offering. The staff is absolutely lovely, they are opening the doors, helping with the luggage, offering their help and always asked how we were feeling and if they could help us in any way. Every day we each got one liter of water for free and they made our room every day. Whenever we were in the lobby or leaving the hotel, we were greeted with a big smile. I love the way the staff is trying their best to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible! My Mum and I stayed for 6 nights for both of our birthdays. As soon as the staff heard that we celebrated our birthdays, they sent a small cake and some very delicious fruits to our room. We also got a very lovely little handwritten card. We didn't book breakfast, since we wanted to enjoy the many coffee shops in the neighborhood, but whenever we saw the breakfast, the food looked absolutely delicious! Our room was spacious and very clean. The bed was comfortable (and I do not say that about many hotel beds) and they had warm sheets. There was a minibar fully stocked (from drinks to snacks you could find anything your heart desires). Also the hotel was very quiet! We didn't hear anything from the street. If you are planning to use the tube, the station South Kensington is just a short walk (about 5 minutes) away from the hotel. We traveled with two suitcases and it was perfectly comfortable to use the tube. The Piccadilly line brings you straight from Heathrow Airport to the station South Kensington. Also the Circle and District Line operate from this station, so you will be able to get (nearly everywhere) very easily. Since the Piccadilly line was under construction when we needed to get back to the airport, someone from the front desk was kind enough to book a taxi (usual black cab) for our way back, which worked also perfectly well. The taxi driver was also very nice and a good driver, we felt safe during the ride. I highly recommend this hotel in any aspect! I do not have anything bad to say about our stay! I cannot wait...

There are places you travel to that leave an indelible mark on not only the journey but in your mind as well. My wife and I were just here last week and while we've been fortunate to stay at many lovely accommodations, The Kensington is head and shoulders above. From the first moment we contacted the Hotel via email we were treated as almost family, their messages we're always helpful and they followed up very timely on every question and request (we live in NY). Our online booking was seamless, the team went out of their way to be helpful including booking dinner reservations both for the Hotel and for other recommended restaurants. When we arrived (late due to train issues) everyone had a smile to share and were so very accommodating. They even upgraded our room without us asking! Our room was beautifully appointed with a king bed, large bathroom (with heated floors! - oh yeah!) and all the sundries and little extras too. Turn down service was offered, and all our bathroom linens and supplies were refreshed and the staff was kind enough to leave extra bottles of water too. We stopped into the main lounge and bar before dinner the first evening, a wonderfully cozy room with a polished winding bar and a great selection of beverages. Dinner afterwards (at The Townhouse) was just spot on - served at a wonderful and friendly pace, delicious and well sized portions. Wine list, while not expansive, certainly covered all our needs (I had the 2018 Rathfinny Rosé Brut from East Sussex to start and Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico). All the seating areas in the multiple lounges were very comfortably appointed. I can see how a guest could while away a whole morning with little effort! The Hotel is wonderfully located for walkers like my wife and I, but getting a cab or car was simple as well. We also took tea one afternoon at the Hotel; the theme was "Around the World in 80 Days" and the food was all inspired by the cuisines from London, Paris, Rome and Cairo. Just wonderful! I think I may be running out of space to write, so let me end it with this, next time we travel to London, every time we travel to London, The Kensington will be our home away. Thank you for all you did to make our...
