I was part of 16 on a Stag weekend. Having read some f the previous reviews, I was expecting Fawlty Towers.

I tend to do much the same trip every March, and pick the Kensington because I know what I am getting - a good value stay, with excellent food and friendly staff. While the other staff tend to come and go, (as with most hotels) I have known Joan the manager for 15 years now, and have visited most years... More

I stayed at the Kensington Hotel as a member of a stag trip to Bournemouth. After reading the reviews on trip advisor before I arrived I was very concerned, but luckily my expereince was not as bad as others seemed to have had.

Stag group of 19, booked through stag weekend organiser Maximise. Paid £200 each. We were put into rooms across the road. No heating was on all the rooms were cold and damp and smelt musty / of urine. All the towels supplied were damp, the room had mold. The shower had little power and it was cold depending on when...

Read some of the reviews and worried that it was a bad decision but we were 12 guys on a weekend and we needed somewhere pretty central where that we could find easily after night out and get some sleep! Beds were comfortable and bathrooms Ok - not the Ritz but then we weren't paying for the Ritz! Breakfast was... More
