good value for money
Hotel was clean and my room was comfortable, service was satisfactory. But I didn’t get my breakfast that I had ordered for the morning of my departure. Also the lift wasn’t working and I had to carry my luggage down stairs.

The Kensington is located just nice away from the hustle and bustle but is just a few minutes walk in. The building is gorgeous with original features. Needs a little updating in rooms. Our room has the sink in the bedroom and just a shower. Perfect for a couple of nights getaway if you’re out exploring. Comfy bed, slept well.
