Set just off from Old Brompton Road in the heart of fashionable South Kensington, The Kensington Hotel has a real history to match its stylish, understated interior. Having undergone a £20million refurbishment in recent years, the four storey townhouse has been restored to its 19th century elegance whilst it now boasts all the modern features that you'd want from a hotel. Inside, the modern Tiger Bar is a great place to meet whether it's for business or pleasure or whether you want a cup of coffee, glass of wine or quick snack. Of course, five stars aren't just handing out to any hotel and it's the high standards of service that The Kensington Hotel particularly prides itself on. With helpful staff on hand to leave guests with a flask of warm milk by their bedside at night or provide departing guests with a bottle of water for the flight home, the Kensington Hotel are guided by the mantra that "great service is in the detail.

LondonTown customer reviews for The Kensington Hotel London
The “location [of the hotel is] very good, handy for tube and in a nice area for walking around.” While most guests were happy enough with the rooms, describing them as “great and spacious with comfortable beds” one well rested customer claimed it to be “probably the best room I have stayed in”. Staff, too, were praised as “exemplary” and “they could not have been more helpful”. In fact, the only complaint was a minor one about the lack of parking with one guest being, “very lucky finding a car park space opposite”.

The room was extremely noisy all night with the air
conditioning fans all sighted outside the window. The
room was also very tight on space. |

The staff are wonderful, but the actual hotel needs some spend to make the structures match the service - air conditioning broke, no iron or board in the room, no holder for the case in the room. Once I asked, the staff were extremely helpful, but I would expect more from a 5 star hotel. |

The Kensington Hotel has become my favourite
place to stay in London. It's a classy gem of a
place and the staff are brilliantly helpful and
efficient. The concierge staff and front desk staff,
restaurant, room service - nothing can be
faulted. I used to stay at the Royal Garden but
now that seems brash and impersonal by
comparison. I would recommend the Kensington
to anyone coming to London. Barbara Jones |
