Overnight stay to visit The Forum. Perfect location - about five minutes walk to most restaurants and another five minutes to the theatre. Very friendly and attentive staff, an atmosphere conducive of staying in a cosy home rather than a big hotel. The room was very comfortable with all the necessary facilities.

Good Place for Solo Travelrs Who Can Climb Stairs

For a single male solo traveler this was an excellent, reasonably priced room. The Kennard is an older hotel, and my room was quite small. Also it was up three flights of stairs. But when I travel alone I don't need a big room -- just gonna sleep there anyway. The staff helped bring my suitcase, the room was clean and tastefully decorated. The shower was fine. The internet worked. The location is central -- very good actually. Overall, I was pleased with the hotel.

No air conditioning. Fourth floor. We left street the first night. Staff were very understanding and issued us a partial refund. Great location but not during a heat wave! We had a lovely cup of tea outside in the back garden. Such a lovely spot.

Enjoyable stay in lovely location

We stayed for one night as a little weekend getaway. We were greeted by a cheerful and friendly host and the check-in was quick and easy. The room itself was exactly as advertised. It was clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable, the room having more than enough space for us both. The property location was excellent, being no more than 5 minutes walk from the centre. Checkout was also nice and quick. Overall, a very enjoyable stay, just what we wanted!
