I stayed here on a 4 day/3 night business trip and this is the best non-chain hotel I have yet to stay in while in San Francisco. You can't beat the Union Square location, lots of shopping, food, bars, etc. Even in the middle of all this, the room was quiet at night and the bed was comfy - so... More

The location is perfect, only seconds away from Union Square. The room was clean and service was very good but overall the hotel is just average especially considering the price. There was no minibar in my room (but at least a coffee maker), no gym, no business centre and no breakfast options. I think it would be a good stay... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Kensington Park Hotel. We were there for four nights. Didnt have alot to do with the front desk as was out and about all day long. The hotels location is its best advantage. The rooms were very clean and tidy -- Just wish it had had a mini fridge. The beds were very... More

Hotel receptionist not welcoming and dessuasive as we wanted information to park in the street. Offered us to park in the hotel but to charge us 40 dollars. Room completely noisy, no double-glazed windows. The fridge make an echo with the sounds of the street. Furniture so-so. Sink tiny and useless. No interest except for the location.

We were here for 5 nights recently and really enjoyed our stay. We had a corner view king room which was a delight - roomy, great city views and a really comfortable big bed. Great location too, right on Union Square. Steps away from many restaurants and shopping. There are so many hotels to choose from in San Francisco; what... More

Stayed there for 3 nights in May 2013. In the heart of downtown San Francisco, very close to Union Square, The Kensington is a clean, quite, and uniquely old-fashioned hotel. The room itself is an average size, but the queen bed is narrower than a queen bed in other hotels (2 people cannot sleep comfortably!). Staff was very friendly and... More

The Kensington Park Hotel is a great choice! The staff were very friendly and full of information. The location just off Union Square givesv you access to public transportation, which is excellent. The room was cozy and the bed was super comfortable! we will definately stay here the next time we're in San Francisco.

Good location near Union Square which also is the stop for the tour buses. Good room, everything worked even though the taps, toilet and shower looked old. Water pressure was good. Evening drinks were a nice touch. No complaints on this hotel.

We adored our stay here. The location is fantastic and the staff were wonderfully helpful and friendly. The sherry/tea hour in the lovely lobby every evening was a really nice way to meet people from all over. We had interesting conversations nearly every evening with people from all kinds of places, plus a couple of nights there was a pianist.... More

Location, location, location! This hotel is in the heart of Union Square. Walking distance to terrific shopping, people watching, cocktail drinking, and fine or casual dining. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean and the bed was very comfy. Next time I will ask for a room with a view but... More
