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 Disadvantages: Rude staff, rooms in a state, out of date amenities, broken equipment.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 ... badongism 24.09.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Ambassadors Hotel, London
Bargain bed!! Advantages: Cheap! location, clean, open late for check-in Disadvantages: by no means palatial but come on..... Considering the price of this hotel it is absolutely fantastic. It is located about 100m from Hyde Park and close to Paddington Station and a number of tube stops (central line). It is also easily accessible by car and by foot and there is a public multi-storey near by. The location is good for exploring central London as Oxford Street and SoHo, Kensington, Kightsbridge and Chelsea are not far. The concierge was open when we arrived at 23.00 and ... ...entrance is relatively smart compared with say a Formule 1 or similar. The room was clean and adequate. I didn't expect much for the price but was pleasantly surprised really. The twin room was private and quiet. There was a wardrobe, a desk, a bedside cabinet and some lamps along with an LCD TV, an electric heater, tea and coffee making facilities and an en-suite bathroom which again was clean and the shower was warm if not particularly powerful. ...

Home Base for Traveling with a Grandchild Advantages: Comfortable, clean, pleasant ambience, elbow room Disadvantages: Lacks many traditional hotel facilities and services, such as room service and baggage storage ...trip planner, I selected the New Linden, a small hotel straddling Bayswater and Notting Hill, not far north of Kensington Gardens. The location was handy for buses and the tube, easily facilitating our forays around and about London. In the end, that choice came down to space and price. I wanted a space that would provide both our grandson and us with an opportunity for privacy, and I wanted to do so without paying the usual London prices for a ... ...of our quad. The New Linden is listed on various hotel sites at 2, 3, or 4 stars. Take your pick. I venture to approximate 3 stars based on its lack of urban hotel facilities. In the final analysis, however, it’s the experience that counts. Based on our experience, we would happily return to this charming hotel. It combines convenience with value for money, and we left with happy memories. Who could ask for more? ...

Ibis Euston - good deals to be had Advantages: Good location, not too noisy, good value if on offer Disadvantages: Slow check in ...for a double room at Ibis Euston on a Saturday in late November. The standard rate advertised outside the hotel is £129 so this represents a good saving. Although we were traveling into and out of Kings Cross we were happy enough to stay at Euston as the hotel is right beside Euston mainline and tube stations and only a ten minute walk from Kings Cross/St. Pancras. There’s a handy little short cut from the main station concourse onto Melton Street ... ...to carry. Ibis Euston compares favourably with other branches of the chain I have stayed in. The rooms are basic but comfortable and I was impressed with the standard of cleanliness. It’s a useful location for several mainline train stations and only a twenty minute walk from the west end if you prefer not to use the bus or underground. There’s very little in the way of additional facilities but chances are if you’re a tourist in London you aren’t ... fizzytom 01.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Ibis London Euston, London
Only One Towel? No Wonder The King's Cross... Advantages: Cheap and central Disadvantages: Bit noisy, bit grimy in places ...a room in this cheapie Travelodge for a too-good-to-be-true £35, turning our mini break into a bargain of a weekend. I hadn't stayed in any London Travelodges before, but the city is crawling with them, and my first tip is to make a note of both the name and address of where you are staying. Walking from Euston this is the second one you'll come to (the other is directly next to the station) but we were coming in the other direction from a brief ... ...but none of the usual Travelodge bedspreads / throws. I actually preferred this: I hate dubious, shiny throws of the kind you get in American motels as I always wonder how frequently they change them. However it did seem unusual to be sitting straight on your quilt in a hotel, though with no other soft seating on offer there was little choice. There were no bedside tables, but we did have bedside lights and bedside controls for the main light, which ... zoe_page 29.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Travelodge London Kings Cross, London
