Guest ratings and detailed reviews

Feedback about Kensington Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently mention the Kensington Hotel's convenient location, with the promenade right in front and easy access to the Great and Little Orme's, not to mention the pier being around a 10-minute stroll away. The recent updates to the reception, lounge, and bar areas are often appreciated for their modern feel. A real bonus in Llandudno is the hotel's car park at the rear, although some guests have noted a surcharge for parking if not booked directly. Breakfast receives consistent praise for its quality and variety.
