We stayed here in may. Staff friendly quick to take money. Rooms old fashioned cobwebs and if you are unlucky enough to have ground floor room you will not sleep as you hear every footstep from upstairs. Booked for meal for 8pm still waiting at 9.40 and then informed oven as broken. Definitely not award winning breakfast was cold greasy.... More

Staff were all excellent and very polite and friendly. A bit disappointed as we found our room at the back overlooking the park rather than the sea but it was clean and of a reasonable size. Only problem was it had shower over bath which I was unable to use,being partially disabled (not hotels fault). Food was excellent, and plenty... More

The Kensington Hotel is typical of an older seaside hotel. Overall, it's a bit tired, but would need huge investment to modernise. The room was comfortable and clean, and the staff were all very good. The menu and the food was very unimaginative-this didn't affect me much as I was only there for one night, but if I had stayed...

Nice place right by the sea. Was good value even for a bank holiday weekend. Had a lovely breakfast in the morning. Only thing was the double bed in our room was two singles pushed together, didn't make for a great nights sleep.

Came home bored one Friday night and booked this for Saturday night (20th April 2013) on the spur of the moment. Booked through booking.com. £49 for the double room for the night with breakfast. No complaints but it's advertised as a four star hotel and it's not it's a guest house. Cramped very narrow corridors and very compact rooms. Our... More
