Excellent Breakfast Experience

“The breakfast offered at The Kensington was simply excellent! I particularly enjoyed the cooked breakfast, with perfectly executed eggs and delicious avocado on toast. I also fondly remembered the mackerel from my previous visit, paired with sweet cherry tomatoes that were absolutely good. The breakfast room atmosphere, coupled with the attentive and friendly staff, made every morning enjoyable.” view full review

Spacious and Comfortable Room

“My room at The Kensington was not only spacious but also exceptionally comfortable. I appreciated the modern amenities tucked away behind panelled doors, including a coffee machine and a fully stocked bar fridge. The bedding provided a restful night's sleep, and the larger-than-expected bathroom featuring both a bath and shower was a lovely surprise that added to the overall experience.” view full review

Luxurious Bathroom Amenities

“The bathroom exceeded my expectations with its ample space and amenities. I was pleased to find both a shower and a bath, allowing for a relaxing soak after a long day. The luxury bath cosmetics added an extra touch of indulgence, making my stay feel even more special as I enjoyed these small yet luxurious details.” view full review
