“Can't wait to go back”

This hotel should be rated a 6 star. From check in to check out I was impressed with the whole experience. It has been a long time since a hotel...felt like a hotel. It was the best hotel experience I have ever had. I would prefer the Kensington Riverside Inn over the Fairmount any day! Love the small touches...

“Great hotel”

Really enjoyed our stay at the Kensington Riverside. Staff are friendly and helpful without being domineering. Design is really impressive and the rooms are great. I don't normally bother writing reviews but I've made an exception for this place. Highly recommended!

“Fantastic Hotel”

Boutique hotel with great service, great location, great dining.

“Would definately go back.”

Wonderful hotel. Classy atmosphere and comfortable. Staff were very gracious. Breakfast was excellent. The hotel accomodated our late check-in, and late check-out making our stay very convenient for us. Our only complaint was that parking (underground) was small and cramped.

“A Great Stay!”

Charming hotel with all the little extras. The service was wonderful. We loved the coffee delivered to our door.

“Great Experience - excellent service and excellent breakfast”

Well worth the stay - definately would go back.

“Beautiful Calgary Inn”

The service was excellent with the staff being very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very charming and well appointed. Great location for either leisure or business. Breakfast in the restaurant is lovely. This was my second visit and I was not disappointed!!

“excellent”

The Riverside is convenient, friendly and well appointed. I couldn't have been happier.

“Good little Boutique Hotel”

This is a very friendly hotel, the place feel cozy and nicely decorated. The room is very comfortable except it was a bit too warm for me, cannot turn the heat off.. The restaurant had good food, highly recommended to try the restaurant, but prepare to paid... i do like the hotel and the friendly staff, would stay there again.

“In the heart of Kensington, an upgrade is planned”

Kensington Inn is a sentimental favorite of mine since it is in my old neighbourhood and I have stayed there before. I spoke with one of the Innkeepers to ensure that yes, they are replacing the now past their prime carpets. This will help restore the Kensington Inn to its past luxe look. Service at this hotel is impeccable and the food is simply fantastic although pricey to say the least. Here are the benefits of staying: remarkably good location for walking around hip Kensington and for doing business downtown (you could easily walk with good shoes). The included breakfast is lovely, reasonable choices and made to order. Parking is only 12 dollars a day underground in a city where parking is routinely 35 dollars per day and in winter underground parking is a great option. The staff are wonderfully accommodating and will go out of the way if asked. Patio service was exemplary and the patio and interior are decorated in a luxe modern way. The downsides: the interior of the second floor now needs a reno, mostly just the carpeting. In the rooms, there are not enough accessible outlets for the modern day travellers host of electronics. A reachable power bar behind the head of the bed would help for those of us who want to put our feet up AND work. Evening meals, while truly gourmet and wonderful, are breathtakingly expensive. All in all, I will stay here again and I enjoyed my stay, will be glad when the upgrading is done.
