“The Queen's Head strikes me as more than just a place to stay near Kingston; it's a proper, welcoming inn. I'm drawn to the way it blends the charm of a pub with very comfortable rooms, and the garden seems like a genuine retreat. From what I gather, the focus is on good food and friendly service, which makes it an easy recommendation.”

I stayed in a Beautiful King or Twin Room. The room included a complimentary small bottle of champagne and tea and coffee making facilities. I also found the staff very cute and super attentive.

The traffic noise was noticeable because of the original sash windows.

my room had amazing toiletries. tea, coffee, and milk. the pub downstairs had a great atmosphere and the breakfast was delicious. we brought our dog along, and it was very welcome. the staff provided fabulous service!

the traffic noise was a bit much since the windows were original sash windows, so it did not cancel out much of the outside sounds. also, my room was located above the bar toilets, and i could often hear the hand dryer. both nights i stayed, the fire alarm went off due to a shower on the top floor.
