The Kings Steakbar, which true to its name offers rare curated boards of prime steak fit for royalty, sourced from the US, New Zealand and Australia. The traditional Spanish pastry Churros lends its name to the patisserie replete with mouth-watering confections, while to fulfil a seafood craving, The Ocean serves up the freshest platters of seafood. The Harbour Court goes global with international cuisine served all day and the Honey Beach Club moves to the rhythm of great beach vibes, while Tavern provides local favourites at competitive rates.

“Great hotel in a very good location”
Very comfortable large hotel with very nice rooms. The cafe on the ground floor was exceptional and great value. The cocktail bar on the roof gave a great view across the city. Great location for the station and very good restaurants in the old Dutch hospital site.

“The house keeping staff, F &B staff and the Front office staff was very nice and friendly.”
Coming from Australia, I enjoyed the dosa, hoppers, king coconut water, the excellent service by the F&B and the chefs who were friendly and nice to us. I would definitely visit Kingsbury and recommend to all my friends and relatives my joyful stay at the Kingsbury. The Restaurant manager Mr. Dilani Paromi was so friendly and hospitable and made we were happy and enjoying the breakfast.

Mixed feelings with kingsbury this year. The room and staff and everything was great however they double charged me and did not return the full amount. I lost around $50 because of this mess so not happy.
