The Kenilworth  

Room is super, but is not quite what we were expecting we were in the rear in a seperate building - a modern detached house that had been converted, massive room probably 25 x 17, plus an ensuite, bang and olufsen electrical and really clean. The bar was a very trendy cocktail bar, lovely drinks.

Parking was an issue, its in the city centre and realistically the only place to park is at the rear of the bar area - space for about ten cars, but 6 are in columns behind each other. the deal was that we leave keys in reception, we had travelled in our ferrari and didnt fancy that as it would have invalidated our insurance, Theres no restaurant on site, so we were told pretty much we needed to stay in the vicinity and were actually quite on edge all evening, worrying about blocking some one in.

I have stayed here twice before and without problems but this time there were several annoyances. Primarily our room was above the main cocktail bar and it was very noisy until 1;30. Not great mid week with an early start.. The room was stiflingly hot. In the nicely designed bathroom the above bath shower could not be fixed on the wall.

The Kennilworth is a cracking little place. It is a small pub built in an old terrace building. So it has little seating areas. The rooms out the back are in converted outbuildings. These are high spec. It has a great wetroom and superb shower. THe staff are great. It has reasonably priced nice wine in the bar/pub. The main street has a good selection of restaurtants so they dont need one themself. I'm in that area for business quite a lot and norm ally stay in 4* big hotels. although this is not a "hotel" in my opinion but a bar with superior accommodation out the back. I prefer it to the large hotels in the area. I'll always look here first for availability...... see car keys in the negative section.

You have to leave your car keys in case anyone needs out. My car is not insured for anyone to drive except me. I think next time I'll leave it in a nearby street.

Never stayed there before but would definately stay again. Everything about the Kenilworth was first class, faultless. Loved it!!

It was a very unusal hotel and very unique.

The rooms were near to the cocktail bar and whilst it was quiet when i stayed there, i can imagine that at weekends it would be very busy.

Friendliness of staff, cleanliness of room. Beautiful shower

Pillows too firm!

The interior design of the room looks stylish

The chair inside the room wasn't as stylish as the rest of the room the open shower design didn't work for me. taking a shower was a messy experience room was really small

friendly staff, good atmosphere, thoughful details

Comfortable boutique style hotel with good facilities and excellent contintal breakfast. Award winning and popular cocktail bar.

Loved the 'boutique' hotel feel to the place, the design/decor were distinctive, and the staff were excellent We will definitely go back there

Nothing much really - if I had to pick something for improvement in teh future I would add aircon. It was somewhat hot in the bedroom (about 23 degrees outside when we stayed there) . There was a large fan in the room which helped but you could not sleep with this on.

The cocktail bar

Relaxed atmosphere, quirky, especially the cocktail bar. location ideal for the surrounding towns and countryside.

The cocktail bar was excellent and the staff very helpful, the room clean comfy and stylish.
