Great location and staff! I also loved the onsite laundry option and water bottle filler in the gym. The room had an “off” (old? Musty?) smell to it but was otherwise alright.

The location and the price of this hotel are excellent. The attached café and bar were very nice for breakfast and drinks. Check-in was quick and the front desk staff Dana was kind and helpful. The rooms are very compact and dated. And while the bathroom was very small, it was very clean and well appointed.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Kins Hotel. Our room was exceptionally clean, spacious and comfortable, and it was actually much larger than the images we had seen when booking, which was a lovely surprise. The staff were amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly. From the reception staff and valet team to the cleaners, everyone was welcoming, professional and always happy to assist whenever we had a question. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at the Kins Hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay. We would happily return ourselves!
