Victoria Park Plaza Hotel, London It's More Than A Hotel!
Advantages: Pleasant Staff, Good Customer Service, Nice Breakfast Disadvantages: Expensive
The Victoria Park Plaza in London is an amazing hotel that has very comfortable, quality rooms and staff who are friendly and professional. The best thing about The Victoria Park Plaza is that it is in a prime position just two minutes from Victoria Station and an easy walk to some of London's main attractions. I found it perfect for shopping and buying souvenirs. There were also quite a number of restaurants close by and my mum who cannot walk far ... ...fresh and clean.
The Victoria Park Plaza is excellent for business trips or short luxury breaks. The only thing I will say is that the walls were paper thin and you can hear what is going on in the next room. The man in the next room was a business man and he stayed up on his phone talking till about 3.0 clock which was really annoying because we couldn't sleep. Then when we woke up in the morning the man had the cheek to shout at us for talking. ...

Radisson SAS Portman Hotel
Advantages: Location, Location, Location Disadvantages: Pricey-ish
This weekend just gone me and the missus thought we'd go off on a short break in London. We chose the SAS Portman Hotel since its location was fab and the price fell within our budget of £300 for 2 nights. We had heard only good things about this one so we booked at Lastminute and paid £240 for a Superior room with breakka. Or breakfast, in English. If we had booked through the hotel's own website it would be nearer £300.
Where is it, then?
The ... ...tube station. It has easy access by tube, since Marble Arch, Bond Street and Oxford Circus are within walking distance, and many buses stop nearby. Even night buses! I don't need to tell you how good Oxford Street is for shopping.... but I will. All the major chains are there, plus its home to some of the biggest department stores in the country. Selfridges, Debenhams and House of Fraser all have their flagship stores on this street, so you can certainly ...

For a luxury weekend in London
Advantages: Wonderful surroundings Disadvantages: Expensive if you have to pay full price
...to London!
She chose The Rembrandt Hotel which is situated in Knightsbridge, in fact, it is opposite the Natural History Museum/Victoria & Albert Museum. We did ’hum and ha’ a bit as to whether we should drive up or get the train. At first, the train seemed the better option as London is an absolute nightmare to drive around plus there is that dreaded congestion charge. But then I had a brilliant idea. The company I work for has a flat in the Sloane ... ...3 minutes walking distance from the Rembrandt. So, I asked if it would be possible to park my car in one of the company’s two parking spaces (private car park underneath the flat complex) and, as I work for the chairman, I immediately gained permission which saved us quite a considerable amount of car parking fees plus the private car park is just outside the congestion zone too! Therefore, this hotel is quite easily accessed from the M4 and is also ...

Can't fault it at all!
Advantages: Everything. Disadvantages: Large building.
Wonderful is the word for this hotel. Everything about it is wonderful.
The location is great. South Kensington is safe, clean and central. Kensington high street is a shoppers delight! The Natural History Museum is amazing for adults and children, is free and nearby. You would fill a whole day with a visit there easily. There are a choice of grocery stores and cafes in walking distance and transport links are excellent for bus, tube and cab.
The ... ...24/7 and couldn't do enough for you. The service was 5 star.
The accommodation is modern, clean, fresh, spacious, comfortable, quiet and family friendly. There are fantasic apartments here too with great kitchen facilities.
I think it is also great value for money. It's not the cheapest 4 star place but it is a long way from the most expensive and in many ways it could be 5 star, particlarly with the service and location.
Highly recommended. ...

Review of Fraser Place Queens Gate, London

Fantastic hotel, shame about its surroundings
Advantages: Beautifully presented, very welcoming Disadvantages: Feels a bit rough in the surrounding area
The Holiday Inn Kings Cross/Bloomsbury is a beatifully presented and welcoming hotel. The decor is clean, modern and, to a degree, much more opulent in design than other holiday inns where I have stayed. The room itself was large with a king size bed and a very nice seating area (which I presume will change to a sleeping area if required. The bathroom was exceptionally clean and about average size for a hotel of its class. The view from the window ... ...Close the curtains though and you could be anywhere in the world. The staff at the hotel are extremely welcoming and accommodating. They were very helpful and could not do enough for you. I found it very interesting to observe how 'international' the staff were. I was very aware of their excellent ability to communicate in various languages to foreign visitors. This is always a very welcoming sign. As for breakfast: It was just like any other hotel. ...
