If you are looking for an excellent location and exceptionally clean rooms at a rate you can afford in the heart of Paris, Hotel Kensington is the place to book. Just blocks from the Eiffel Tower and Rue Cler, it is within a very short walking distance to two train stops. The rooms, as with any Paris boutique hotel, are... more

We stayed one night in the Kensington on the last leg of our France trip before heading back to the states. We paid 86 Euro for our room. The hotel is near Rue Cler and the Eiffel Tower. The bathroom was large by European standards with adequate counter-top space and a hook for your cosmetics bag. The bedroom was small... more

The Hotel Kensington is a European as opposed to an American hotel. The Room was small, but well maintained, clean and very functional. We opted for a "large Twin" -- I assume that the large refers to the bath, which was larger than we have come to expect of European hotels. When we got off the elevator, we quickly located... more

So, Paris is known for its sketchy hotels, but this one was decent for the price, location, and Paris. When we arrived we had to argue with the receptionist about our reservation (We checked on the availability of 3 nights but only confirmed one, she insisted we wanted 3 but finally let us only have the one). Our room was... more

Our first night in Paris was spent at a little hotel right in the same neighborhood for twice the price and even smaller room and bathroom. We were very happy to find the Hotel Kensington even though the decor is getting a little faded. Our large window opened onto the busy tree-lined street with an Eiffel Tower view and our... more

2 star hotel in great location near the Eiffel Tower. However, I arrived alone, took tiny elevator to the 6th floor, and on exiting the elevator I was in TOTAL and COMPLETE DARKNESS. I am a senior with poor eyesight and I was terrified. After standing on the landing for about 5 minutes clutching onto a wall I finally spotted... more

I dont know why people write bad reviews about this hotel. This hotel is for young people who are looking for just a place to sleep and store your luggage! It's clen enough, small room small bath but hey, you dont come to paris to stay all day in your hotel or use the bathroom for hours. I'm 23, 3th... more

The location of this hotel was the reason that we booked it and it turned out to be totally worth it. As Rick Steve's recommends, the Rue Cler neighborhood is awesome. The Rue Cler market is great and we spent several nights dining in the nieghborhood and visitng our favorite bartender at "Cafe Central." (Check it out, on the Rue... more

I was passing to Paris for one night and wanted to stay in a budget hotel (connection time was only 10 hours). I found this hotel very close to Eiffel tower as i wanted to visit during the few hours i had. The hotel is very close to the metro line (ligne 8) which is 5 minutes or less by... more
