A fantastic property in a great location. Kensington is a very walkable neighbourhood with lots of food and shops to explore. A short walk away from the train as well for getting further afield. Every staff member we interacted with was so hospitable and professional. It felt like they truly enjoyed hosting their guests.

All good. Except no hot water for the day I stayed. Stuff did offer me at the sister hotel. Just one night. I just declined. They should have compensated a bit. Like discount this time or next time stay here. That didn’t offered. I guess times are tough.

Beautiful Hotel and Kind Staff
This hotel is well appointed and located in a charming neighborhood. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. The rooms were comfortable and had a cosy vibe. Our room had a fireplace which was go nice at the end of a long day. I really enjoyed the high end shampoo, soaps and lotions provided in the rooms. On the day we were leaving our flight was delayed several hours. The staff gratiously let us stay in our room an extra hour after the schedule check-out time. That really made our day and we are very appreciative of the accommodation you made for us.

Conveniently located in a nice neighborhood, close to the city. Opportunity to explore from here. Welcoming, friendly staff always helpful. Great breakfast to start the day off and you can take your meal to your room for privacy. I will be back!

The property is one of the best ones I have lived at. It was clean and the staff was friendly. There are a lot of spots to eat around the neighborhood. The area was safe and lots to do in just walking distance of the hotel

Not a real suite do not book
Booked a suite - which implies separate sitting room and bedroom but it didn’t have this. Would not book again. Good location, over priced. And hotel needs an update.

Great for river walks and cafes!
Lovely hotel in a great location next to the river with lots of restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby. Would stay again, although there is some road noise (not a surprise given its proximity to the road...)
