  • The Resident Kensington

    Home Away from Home in London

     

    We love the Resident Kensington, having stayed there more than 3 times over the past few years. They are a home-away-from-home for us in London. It’s a clean, warm hotel with lovely rooms and kitchenettes where we can enjoy our own snacks, tea and coffee. The staff is so friendly and accommodating, always happy to help or answer questions.

    I would highly recommend staying in this hotel. This was my third time staying here, and I didn’t regret it. It is my home whenever I am in London, and I am made to feel as such. I recognise several of the same team who have been here for all of my visits over the past few years. They are kind and helpful.

    A hidden gem

     

    A rare find. I had the most pleasant 2-night stay at The Resident Kensington. The location was perfect coming from Heathrow, and I was warmly welcomed by the reception staff on arrival. My room was impeccable and had everything I needed, including a handy kitchenette. It is located in a lovely neighborhood and was enjoyable to walk around and explore. I wish I could have stayed longer there and would highly recommend.
