Lovely, well-appointed hotel.

Very nice hotel with excellent restaurants. It's not located as centrally as other hotels, which was fine for me, but may be a consideration for someone on a vacation.

The property grounds are outstanding, great for a walk or a bike ride along the Lee River. The staff are wonderful the front desk always ready to help guests. Rooms are very clean. Some minor issues would be a dripping faucet from a bathroom sink and paint chips in lift corridor of hotel around the door frame. Restaurant food is incredible. I ordered my special favourite Angus Beef Rib with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots and gravy. This dish is a Kingsley classic that should stay the test of time. All in al I truly enjoyed my stay at the Kingsley. I look forward to next time.
