We stayed here for 2 nights in April 2012, the staff are very friendly. Like others have said could do with new carpets and the corridors are pretty narrow. Our room was a double, bit small really but adequate for 2 nights as we were not planning on staying in the room the whole time. It was nice to have... More

Just that - the room was well below par - with some evidence of superficial modernisation at some point during the noughties, however with the strangest shower over the window that I've ever had in a hotel, mildew around the windows and small, poky main room. The hallways has a distinctive musty smell and the carpets clearly needed updating (and... More

The breakfast was good and there was alot of choice. There was also little things that were good to such as an easter card and a creme egg on... More

My wife found the twin room to be tacky and below standard in hygiene. carpet look soiled and unhoovered. Paint peeling from wall/ceiling in room. On line this hotel seemed good around, but not satisfactory room... More

The positives are.. The food is excellent. No one can fault the food or the service. The staff were really friendly and efficient. If only the room was given some attention. Does not match the description on the website. Room very small, hard bed, one bed was a camp bed and squeaked every time you moved. Needs some attention to... More

Very clean comfortable hotel in quieter end of town, but not too far from main attractions, and 5 mins taxi from railway station. Cost about £5. Our stay was brief (as a flying family visit) so details are also kept brief, but first impressions good. Thought it an ideal choice & good value. We were able to book just the... More

The hotel is right on the sea front overlooking the waterways, and only a short walk into the town. The staff at the Kensington are all very professional and welcoming, they really cant do enough for you. We even had tea and cake on arrival which we have never had before in any hotel, a very welcome gesture. The room... More

Having read previous reviews I expected more - sadly, I believe, some reviews have been over-generous. Positive - all staff we encountered were courteous and tried to do their best for you. It has a fair location overlooking the Waterways on the North Parade. As advertised I was fortunate enough to have a room with free acess to Wifi. Negative... More
