Good, comfortable hotel in Kensington

Advantages: Location, nice spacious rooms, good breakfast
Disadvantages: A few minor irritants, no free WiFi, facilities not great for a business hotel

Harrington Hall The Harrington Hall hotel is part of the Spanish nh hotel chain. Situated just round the corner from Gloucester Road tube station near Kensington in central London, the hotel takes up much of the whole block. = BOOKING = I was in London for work as part of a large party, so the booking arrangements were handled by the people organising the trip. I have looked at the website, and booking seems very straightforward on there, ...
...hotels in London, the nh Harrington Hall is not bad at all. The room was elegant and comfortable, and the small number of gripes did not completely take away the favourable impression. The staff were efficient, if not the most friendly, and though there were clearly foreign nationals, language was not a problem. ...

Review of Harrington Hall Hotel, London

IMPOSTER!

Advantages: FOOD
Disadvantages: ROOMS

I booked this hotel over the phone via a deal from teletext (£159 for 2 people b&b and dinner on the 1st night). The hotel runs a shuttle service from the nearest tube station which is handy as its quite a way away from the hotel. When we arrived i thought the enterance and reception areas were a little tired and boring looking. The staff were pleasent though and we got our room key. The room was a real disappointment - tiny (you could barely fit ...
...the view was appalling - straight onto a block of flats. This was definately the worst hotel room ive stayed in for the money. Dinner was very nice and we enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal, service was also very good. After dinner we had a few drinks in the bar - this was a lovely place to drink - modern, comfortable with views over the river towards canary wharf. Breakfast was again lovely and the Whiskey for the poridge was a particularly nice touch. ...

Review of Hilton London Docklands, London

Reasonable and comfortable.

Advantages: Location, service.
Disadvantages: Busy main road, not so many families

This hotel has three things going for it: The location - Buckingham Palace and St. James Park are both within easy walking distance even with young children. The entertainment to offer in Victoria is in adult walking distance but I'd put young ones in a buggy. There are a number of theatres and cafe's and some shops with the train and tube station having great regular links to almost all of central London. The Staff - Perfect english, polite, smart, ...
...walked me to a nearby building I was looking for. The food and drink - there is a lovely little cafe at the back, quiet and private, coffee and small meals and snacks reasonably priced. There is also a restaurant, more formal and childrens options available. However, the nearest grocery store is M&S a good 20 mins walk away...and that's it. It's reasonably priced, family friendly but not orientated and central. Don't bother tying to get a cab ...

Review of Thistle Westminster, London

Copthorne Tara - The Customer

Advantages: Good location, access to tube station, nice/well looked after hotel
Disadvantages: Some of the staff/service is not up to scratch

Getting There: -------------------- The Copthorne Tara Hotel is conveniently situated a short walk (about 5 minutes) from the Kensington High Street Tube station. This means that getting to and from the hotel is quick and convenient. The Kensington High Street Tube Station is part of both the District and Circle Lines, meaning that you can get to many major and convenient locations by jumping on the tube there (including Kings Cross and Victoria ...
...that while staying at the Copthorne Tara, the district and circle lines are running as unfortunately during my stay they were under maintenance for 2 of the days. In this case the nearest station was Notting Hill, which was around a 30 minute walk away (not good when wearing high heals to go to the theatre). In terms of proximity to the west end theatres, the Copthorne Tara is about a 30 minute (around £15) taxi drive. When getting the tube it took ...

Review of Copthorne Tara Hotel, London

Hilton Kensington

Advantages: Price, Room Quality, Cleanliness, Staff
Disadvantages: Small Room, Location

...smaller side compared to other Hilton Hotels I've stayed in. Nevertheless it was warm, clean with fabulous air con / central heating system. The bathroom was also small and the corridor into your room from the door isn't a ver big gap. I had facility to use the internet at a cost of £15, use of their ethernet cables. Room came with plenty of clean towels, shower gel, shampoo, shower cap. More importantly a hairdryer - which I'd forgot to take on ...
...well I can't really find one, only thing I could moan about was the location but being in London a tube ride will get you anywhere! The staff were very friendly, even recieved a phone call to make sure everything was ok in my room. The bar and meals were reasonably priced and were ok - not the finest of meals but I prefer to eat outside of the hotel anyway. This hotel is ideal for a short stay with not much luggage. Overall, I'd recommend this ...
