The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was excellent, particularly the 2 gentlemen who were at reception when we arrived. My only complaint is that the breakfast was quite poor quality, and the hot foods were not fresh at all.

Contrary to some reviews we found the Merit Kensington to be absolutely fine. I have no negative feedback at all. The rooms were clean and tea/coffee and toiletries replenished every day. All the staff were very friendly from housekeeping to reception and the breakfast room . Breakfast was excellent.The hotel is very close to Earls Courttube and it’s very easy to get around fro m there . The £100 security deposit was never actually taken from my bank,it was just pending all week and was cancelled on Friday as soon as we checked out. Would definitely recommend and stay again
