On arrival told the heating was only on at certain times. The food from the restaurant was almost inedible, either burnt or cold. No telephone in the room should there be a problem. There wasn’t the warmth of greeting as was there a couple of years ago. Won’t be going again.

This hotel does not deserve a star rating, & I believe that it doesn't have one. Broken & damaged furniture & cast-offs. Threadbare carpets, & showers that do not work properly. The bed was clean & in good order, & everything else was a disaster waiting to happen. The food service & cleanliness were a one minus. There is nothing more that I can say about this dive.

Very disappointed with this hotel How on Earth this can get a 5* rating I will never know!!! The hotel needs a complete upgrade Mold on shower pipe, mold on shower curtain, black mold on bathroom windows, soap scum on edge of taps on the sink disgusting !!! Sheets & towels were nice & white in rooms but that was about it !! Breakfast very poor staff were ok but need some customer service training. Overall very poor & would not stay there ever again.

Tv in bedroom didn't work , we were having a game of cards in the bar area and was told to take our drinks to our room at 10pm as all the lights in the bar were being turned off , so basically had to go to bed , certain female staff need training on how to welcome guests as we are there wages , staff have a group chat going , so after I complained their attitude towards us changed and were made to wait longer for their services , absolutely disgusting and won't be returning , we ended up going to a bar in another hotel who were wonderful and one evening , half their bar had guests from the Kensington , I think that says it all, we were warned from another couple there that after our first night to expect things to get worse and oh how right they were , the amount of people complaining was the worst I've ever seen , couldn't wait to check out

The whole experience was unsettling. We was there for two days and that was more than enough. I really don’t know where to begin. The room was dirty there was dust everywhere in the radiators where full of dust and bits of food. Cobwebs everywhere. The top of wardrobes and windowsills were full with dust but on the windows it was also grime too. There were rubbish under the bed from previous guests. The kettle was full of limescale and the cups and spoons were dirty. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting we only used it to go to toilet and wash our hands. The shower curtain was dripping in mould and dirt. The black slime and grime covered every corner and crevice. I actually used a cotton bud to remove some from the sink to see if it was dirt or stains but it was dirt a big chunk of it came off on the cotton bud. The toilet itself wasn’t clean I had to clean it myself with antibacterial wipes. The breakfast was ok it was cooked well but cheap ingredients. The service is slow and the waiting staff could do with customer service training especially the girls. The dining room table was dirty and sticky both morning with stains from a long time ago on them. They are glass topped do I can’t understand how glass cannot be cleaned properly. There was four people in the dining room tramps/homeless /drug users who where in the dining room obviously staying at the hotel. Swearing and scratching Both days we had do not disturb signs on our door. We always put it in as soon as we enter the room on the first day as we went away to relax and not be bothered but on the first morning while we was getting changed to go out the cleaners let themself in without knocking and quickly left then 10 minutes later did the same. On the second day after breakfast we went bk to bed for an hour and again they did the same. This is totally unacceptable in my opinion as the do not disturb sign is on the door. At 10am you really don’t expect someone to just come in. It’s really rude and without even knocking first. Never would I come back to this hotel. If relaxed and clean is what you’re looking for this is not the place to come. I’ve been to cheaper hotels and they have been much cleaner. Staff training is definitely needed

We went four four nights begining of september. it was the worst place you could book it should have no stars .It was dirty the room 4 far not fit for purpose there was white powder on the floor the window when opened you could see it had not been cleaned in years the shower was filthey toilet seat i dont think it had ever been cleaned. Carpet was thread bare that room should be closed down lwent to complain and was told that there was not another room available i asked for my money back but was told they would have to speak to the owners after a five hour drive we did not want to drive back .Iwent back to the room and stayed on a chair. The next morning we were told a differnt room would be available but people were still in we were told that they would deep clean the room ready for us. We went out for a few hours came back and were given the keys to room one. Well if that had been deep cleaned i will eat my hat i did not unpack and went down to the desk and asked again if i could have a refund and i was told we could go home after paying over £400 pounds we were disgusted with the treatment we got .The breakfast room was dirty the so called bar had no beer do not book this hostal it is not a hotel.We came back early as it was to bad to stay in i have sent the Kensington two emails with no repy if you book this up you are mad.

Dit hotel ligt aan de boulevard van Great Yarmouth met uitzicht op zee en de Venetian Waterways. Het hotel heeft eigen gratis parkeerplaatsen en een redelijke wifi. ‘s Ochtends een uitgebreid Engels ontbijt is inbegrepen en het personeel was vriendelijk. We hebben er ‘s avonds ook lekker gegeten. De pier en alle andere activiteiten liggen op een minuut of 20 lopen.
