Trust me, this is the area you want to be in! only a moment's walk away from Union Square and situated around the shopping district. (Macy's, Saks, Prada...etc) Not saying that these are the stores I shop at, but to be in this area is so much better than other areas and once you see that you'll know why. The... More

I stayed at Kensington for 5 nights in April in room 76, on the 11th floor. This is definitely the room to get if you want less noise and an amazing view of the city. The bathroom and shower was of decent size, and the king size bed was extremely comfortable. The closet was a nice size as well. And... More

Starting with the good points, this hotel couldn't be in a better spot. Sitting on Post St right next to Union Square it was close to the BART and right in amongst all the best shops, galleries and restaurants that SanFrancisco has to offer. Staff were excellent, very freindly and very clean. I have read the other reviews and I... More

We stayed at the Kensington Park Hotel for 5 nights in April. While it's an older hotel, we found the size of the rooms adequate and the beds and linens extremely comfortable.

This was our second visit to the Kensington Park Hotel, and it was just as good this time. It's a lovely friendly hotel, with nice reception staff and a wonderful Concierge, Bob, who always has time for a chat and is very helpful.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and had a great experience. Front desk was great and the concierge. The union square location was great, and a short bus ride to any neighborhood. right next to the cable car line too. The bed was amazingly comfortable. afternoon tea and sherry were fun too.
