Overrated

SW7 (South West London) is one of the best Post Codes in the entire city and country, lovely buildings / restaurants and plenty of historic sites to see so you expect the hotel to be on a par with it’s surroundings and for some parts it was: restaurant/ bar/ lobby area - all really nice. We’d stayed in the area on many occasions before but thought this time we would try The Kensington. Booked the std room - (which to be fair hadn’t done in any of the other previous hotel stays) but never checked the room square footage (or meterage as it was). The bathroom ( no joking) was less than 4sq metres - maybe closer to 3- probably the smallest bathroom I have ever had anywhere in the world. From the centre- I could literally touch any of the 4 walls without moving from my spot. I could touch the left side/ right / front and back all from the centre. The bedroom ( having moved from the first given room) was 13-15sqm, like a box and not value for money at £450/ night (in my mind). I didn’t particularly enjoy the stay but don’t get me wrong it is still a nice hotel. Special shout out to Lucian - very helpful. Checkin person in question- a little less so! Oh yes, don’t try and ask for a drink after 10:30pm (weekdays). Bar closes at this time.

Although my room did not have a great view, my stay at the Kingston was fantastic. The staff is incredible…and I mean everyone from house keeping to concierge. Super attentive and helpful.

The property is well located and the staff is what made it great. Diana at the bar was amazing and walked our cocktails to our room when checking in. She mentioned our room didn't look up to par and so they comped a round of drinks and helped us get upgraded the next day. Gabby at the front desk was amazing and she was so helpful when we ran into a mechanical issue and had the staff move our rooms
