The Kensington

The carpet in our room was so old and in places appeared to be mouldy… we had a tiny basin in the room (and no basin in the en-suite) which was partially overhung by a shelf that made it very difficult to use properly and was likely the cause of the mould in front of it. Our ‘en-suite’ was cramped and the shower cubicle had mould in the sealant and grout. The extractor fan did not work and therefore the bathroom and bedroom felt and smelled damp when we returned after a day out- it was 26 degrees outside so goodness know what it would be like in the colder weather. We don’t go away often but I was disappointed with what we had for over a hundred pounds a night. Very glad we didn’t bother getting up for the self service breakfast.

Nice hotel and good location. Lovely breakfast too.

Great accommodation, absolutely beautiful, very roomy and lovely location!

Comfortable and fairly quiet

We had a lovely stay the staff were lovely the only criticism is the shower in the room wasn't very powerful but it had hot water.We would stay again.

Pleasant and helpful staff. Room had a partial sea view. Very efficient breakfast service with a good choices. Slight problem with the shower over the bath. Had to run the hot and cold supply taps continuously to get the water supply up to the shower. This resulted in a waste of water draining from the bath.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Clean and perfect for a weekend break away.

Friendly helpful staff

It’s a cheap hotel near the beach, and if that’s all that you’re looking for, you’ll be okay. It’s not in great shape, but there wasn’t really anything wrong with it. There only seemed to be one staff member there, but she was friendly and helpful. My room was clean but didn’t seem like it had been vacuumed very well. Carpets were coming up in places and the walls seemed very thin.

Room was clean, breakfast was good and staff very polite and helpful.

Very very clean

Radiator was broken, on the ground floor/road with single glazed windows and the bathroom was freezing and not clean. Staff were lovely and free breakfast was a nice suprise. Wouldn’t return.

Very basic but just ok. No cleaning of room in 3 day stay. Room was warm though.

Such a lovely clean hotel

The room was clean but the walls needed repainting as there were watermarks on some of the walls. Decor had been updated though as well as furnishings. Shower was very temperamental so ended up having a bath instead as couldn’t regulate the temperature. Friendly helpful staff as always .

For us it was the friendly approachable staff and the good atmosphere. We liked the breakfast and the room very much, everything was easy and felt relaxed. The staff were exceptionally kind to our son, who is five, and we’re happy to chat with him each day. We appreciated that kindness - thank you.

For the low price it was a fine stay, the staff were very friendly and the location is excellent on the seafront

The property is currently undergoing renovation, The main public areas and our room were freshly decorated, clean & tidy. The staircase is overdue for updating and will lift the level when done. The staff could not have been more helpful and breakfast service as good as any other place.
