The Kensington Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Need more options for quick and healthy breakfast. Rooms small. Maybe a few more luxuries to make up for smaller space"

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Really helpful staff, good sized rooms with good amenities. I’ve stayed in Kensington many times, but never here before, I think I was put off by the logo looking a little dated, it was never for specific reasons, that’s the only thing I can really think of. I only booked it because my usual go-tos were full, but in the future this will be my first choice."
