Nice breakfast, room was as expected, and the shower was nice and hot. A good priced B&B opposite the Waterways which were charming. Lots of loo roll in the bathroom. Walking into the centre of Great Yarmouth was about 15 minutes at most with young children. A great location and a good nights sleep. The breakfast room was pleasantly decorated. Lots of leaflets for ideas of what to do. Lots to do in Great Yarmouth it is fun for the family.

Bar shut at 10pm, fried bread we weren't keen on, but rest of the fry up was lovely. The view from the family room was of a roof, but the view from a double was beautiful and off the sea. Parking was available in a car park but as we have a long wheel base it was hard to park and get out again so we parked near by on a side road. That said we would stay again and found the hotel rather pleasant.

Breakfast was really nice the dining room is light and airy, dogs were allowed which we thought was good, but we didn't take ours. Our room 24 was light and airy only thing was due to the hot weather the room was stifling should have asked for a fan but we managed. We had the 3 course meal on Sunday prawn cocktail roast beef, and dessert couldn't falt it. Was lovely. Would I stay again yes without a doubt. Free car parking which was a bonus. 10-15 minute walk into town. The young waiter not sure of his name very polite and courteous

The Kensington Hotel is good value, family friendly hotel situated directly across from the sea front facing the sand dunes. We stayed for 3 nights and booked 1x double bedroom and 2x 1 bedroom rooms. There was ample of car parking available within the secure car park area. The receptionist was all friendly and professional. The hotel is steeped in history and the rooms are decorated tastefully with neutral and comfortable furnitures. There is in house classic games area with a generous sized pool table on the ground floor with access to the bar and the dining area. We opted for breakfast and each day the breakfast was served with menu showing vegetarian and full English breakfast dishes along with many choices of cereals and fruit juices. We enjoyed our breakfast watching the seagulls hustling for food, dog walkers walking their dogs across the promenade and we had uninterrupted clear views of the sea. The hotel sits alongside the more established and refined part of the stretch and somehow it felt very pleasant and made for peaceful settings. After breakfast we went for a leisurely walk catching in the fresh breeze. We came across mostly the residents walking their dogs and we felt comfortable knowing this route and area is well served and used by its local community.

Great value for money . Good breakfast and the evening meals we had were lovely well cooked and big portions. Staff were very friendly. Linen and towels were very clean and proper size bath towels . Whole hotel was nice and warm . View of seafront was nice and the location was good both for Great Yarmouth and seeing things in the area . Wi-Fi worked well . Tea and coffee in room . Good value for money compared to other places .

Some areas could do with a revamp especially in the corridor areas , entrance etc . Some parts of room were dusty and needed better clean but nothing major. The shower was difficult to use as no holder on wall and would have liked a blind in bathroom window . There was a bath though and the water was hot . Was bit noisy in the morning as some people left quite early and the walls are a bit thin . We had a great stay though so don’t let the negatives put you off . Dissapointing that booking say there is no charge for pets but there was a nightly charge to pay for our dog .

Good location, parking, breakfast

Poor attitude and lack of customer service from female member of restaurant staff, think she was managing the restaurant on Easter Sunday - we had dinner booking for 15:45. We were shown to table in middle of room and asked if that was ok. It felt in the way so asked if we could have one of several empty tables at the side instead, out of the thoroughfare, she said no they are for other customers. We were in restaurant for several hours and no one occupied any of those tables - the staff did not even lay them out for any guests! Seems staff member just lazy and couldn’t be bothered to accommodate! Such a shame as rest of stay was very good.

Although it could do with a bit of tlc the room was clean and comfortable and was perfect for what we needed which was a base from which to explore the local area. All the staff were lovely and very helpful and there was a good choice for breakfast. Room was also cleaned every day which you don't get in some other pricier hotels these days. Bar prices very reasonable too. All in all, great value for money!

Went down to the bar just after 10 on Saturday as we were told it was open till 11 Friday and Saturday only to find the doors locked and everything closed. Would have been nice to have somewhere to sit and relax in the evenings. This was however a minor issue and didn't spoil our stay in any way but as there was no where to sit in the room but on the bed, an alternative would have been good.

Very good breakfast! Good car park. Comfy bed.

Sorry missed out on individual jam at breakfast

Loved it, staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was excellent and the portions were huge. The dog even had his own sausage for breakfast. We are both disabled so were so happy that we could park the car and use our mobility scooters to go into Great Yarmouth. We were able to take the scooters inside the hotel to charge them at night. Yes, some things could do with an update, but what more do you want for such a good price. We can't wait to go back, and think that some of these bad reviews are completely unjust.

Could do with some grab rails in the bathroom to make it easier for us old fogeys.

More milk sachets

The staff are always very friendly here which makes it great. The food in the restaurant is always delicious breakfast and dinner were delicious every time. The location is great not too far from the main but far enough to have peace and quiet. I like the fact it has a pool table and bar to come back and relax in.

The bedroom was very small with the sink in the bedroom. Wasn't very good as I've had much better rooms in here for the same price so that was disappointing. Also my pillows were so flat and there was no spare ones in the cupboard. However this didn't ruin my trip and I would still recommend a visit here as it is lovely.
