Lovely check in staff. Bed and bathroom very clean but a lot of dust in the room. The floor lamp base was very dirty and along the edges of the room but everything else was fine. Convenient location and as said, lovely staff.

Another great stay at the Kinson. Unfortunately we had some noisy neighbours who woke us at 2am but not the fault of the hotel. Comfortable and clean but the rooms are starting to show signs of wear, especially in the plaster walls.
