Putting on The Ritz
Advantages: Style, excellent service, great location Disadvantages: Too many tourists
The only problem with The Ritz is that being such a landmark it does attract a bizarre mixture of people.
The Rivoli Bar is perhaps a bit kitsch for some, decorated with much gold and glitz, but The Palm Court and adjoining lounge bar are sophistication in themselves and ideal places to take elderly relatives to tea or for drinks with clients/friends.
The restaurant offers the best of British in terms of a traditional menu and the room is spectacular. ... ...Rooms are excellent and of the high standard one would expect of a hotel of this calibre. Prices are high, but for that you do get the best.
The service is impeccable, the staff excellent and their attentive yet discrete manner is most impressive.
Conveniently situated on Piccadilly, the location is perfect for those looking for somewhere close to theatreland, the Royal Parks, shopping on Bond Street and Jermyn Street, etc. etc.
If you want to ...

Review of The Ritz, London

Clean, simple and easy.
Advantages: closeness to Central London, cheap price, breakfast Disadvantages: sorrounding area, small shower, plain
...times and ended up at Custom House twice. Where is Custom House? The address is: 272-283 Victoria Dock Road, London, E16 3BY. Since I rode on the bus I can not tell you for sure how easy it is to get there, but the bus driver seemed to be fine. However, parking seemed not as easy. There was a parking space where you were able to let people on or out, but the parking was a little further away. Costum House located in the docklands, next to the ExCel ... ...it to Travellodge, and find Custom House more welcoming. The breakfast is nice too and the staff is much more helpful than the one in Travellodge. I think the rooms are the best for you if you are travelling alone or as a pair. I heard the family rooms are a tad too small and thus uncomfortable. 4 stars - I am taking one off for the not-so-nice neighbourhood and the water leak that I had in my room last time. ...

Review of Custom House Hotel, London

Location isn't everything
Advantages: Fantastic location, you're never far away from anything. Cheap. Disadvantages: Rude staff, rooms in a state, out of date amenities, broken equipment.
I booked this room just as somewhere to put my head down for the night after a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I wanted somewhere cheap(ish) in Kensington so I could walk it and not venture onto the tube in the forbidden hours. I found it via www.hoteldirect.com and it cost me £70 for a double room for one night, including a continental breakfast. So, here's a review.
LOCATION
If you're going to the Albert Hall and you're on a budget, this hotel ... ...Road and probably around 10-15 minutes walking distance from the Albert Hall. There's a Tesco, a Waitrose and a Sainsburys nearby as well as a KFC and a small shopping centre, and it's on the circle line in zone 1, so you are well catered for. Also handy if you have children, since there's always something nearby to keep them entertained. THE STAFF
Now I guess this could simply be a language barrier but I found the reception staff to be rather abrupt ...

Review of Ambassadors Hotel, London

Very convenient
Advantages: Location is ideal for early morning flights Disadvantages: Noise as so near to airport. Windows don't keep out all noise
In my opinion, the hotel is very conveniently located (right on the front door-step of Heathrow on the Bath Road) and is functional for the purposes of access to the airport when you're on a fly-over for work.
The staff are very friendly and very appreciative of the 'typical' business clientele; very professional with just the right amount of pleasantness without being too resort-like.
The price was adequate, considering its location. My main disappointment ...

Savoy Grandure with Some Like It Hot Feel
Advantages: Bend over backwards service Disadvantages: None
Having been to The Savoy a number of times for business meetings it was always a hotel I have wanted to stay at not only for the history but also for it's location. However the cost has always been a little hard to bear. You can imagine my pleasure when idly scanning through hotels.com and seeing the hotel's latest offer of £99 pppn including continental breakfast.
I booked and treated my wife for a 2 night surprise visit. Apparently the cheaper ... ...need a refurbishment? Probably is the answer but it isn't tatty. More like faded but still impressive.
From the moment we walked through the doors we were made very welcome indeed. The doormen were attentive and eager to help. The reception staff were efficient and courteous (showed us to our room, happens infrequently these days). This was the standard for the whole stay. The room was great if you like Art Deco. We do, and we loved it. From the ...
