Good London hotel in Kensington

Advantages: Excellent location and lovely clean hotel
Disadvantages: Staff could be a bit clearer about hotel details

I booked this hotel for me and my friend when we visited london for her birthday. The hotel is located at the far end of Hogarth Street from Earls Court Tube station (you can walk to the hotel in approx 3-4 minutes from the entrance to the station.) One thing that was not explained when i booked the hotel online was that you actually check in to the sister hotel 'Best Western The Shaftesbury London Kensington' located just around the corner....on ...
...would i think to check in there! When locating our hotel we were very confused as to why we could not get in and it was only on enquiring at the other hotel we established that this is where we need to check in. When you check in you are given 2 small cards the size of a bank card. I don't stay in hotels that often so i presumed these were room key cards (1 for each of us)....unfortunately they didn't explain, or check to see if we knew, that one ...

Review of Executive Rooms By Shaftesbury, London

Holiday Inn- all you need for a short stay in London

Advantages: Good value for money, well positioned (close to shops, restaurants etc.)
Disadvantages: Limited parking, not as modern as many other hotels

...room, in which case the Holiday Inn is a good place to stay. We ordered the full English breakfast each morning- there was a good selection of food and you could take as much as you like. However, the dinner menu was mainly Indian food so there wasn't a great variety to choose from; so we decided to find a nearby restaurant (which there are plenty of). The hotel rooms are spacious and clean with plenty of storage and although the decor was slightly ...
...to other London hotels, the Holiday Inn was very reasonably priced but I would still recommend that you book a room online, since it is considerably cheaper. This hotel is perfect if all you're after is a place to sleep, shower and breakfast before heading out to explore all that the city has to offer! ...

Review of Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum, London

Cheap hotel close to Heathrow

Advantages: Cheap, close to Heathrow
Disadvantages: Expensive Hotel Hoppa Bus, very basic, poor food

...commuted from Manchester recommended the Ibis to me. Cost: The cost was the major decider for me. Using the 'Crew' code on the online booking system I was able to get a room for £25 a night. Don't try this if you aren't airline crew though-upon check in the receptionist will check that you have a valid airline crew ID card and photocopies it! Normally rooms here are between £50 and £60 per night if you book in time. Not bad for an airport hotel, ...
...handsoap. Food: The Ibis offers a buffet dinner but it looked very unapetising. They don't deliver food to the room so on my first night I went down to the bar. There was a very limited choice of food-toasted sanwiches, burgers, pasat type ready meal things so I settled for a jacket potato with tuna mayo and a soft drink. This cost me £8.75. I then took it up to my room on a tray to eat it rather than sit in the bar with a group of rather leery men! ...

Review of Ibis London Heathrow Airport, London

Cheap, no frills Hotel in the centre of London

Advantages: Cheap, centrally located, helpful staff,
Disadvantages: small rooms, very tired building, facilities limited to the absolute basics,

I have stayed at the County hotel a few times now. It is definetely not a luxury experience, as you would expect for £43 a night so near the centre of London. The single rooms have just enough room for a desk, tv, kettle, cupboard space and sink. The double rooms have a bit more space but not by much. The rooms themselves are well worn and a bit dog eared, but they do serve their purpose. The beds are comfortable, but expect your grannies's old scratchy ...
...of showers and baths on each floor, and the showers are hot and powerful (be warned!). Wireless internet is available (although I haven't used it), and you aren't more than a few minutes from Euston station. The hotel is part of the Imperial Hotels chain and parking is available under some of the other hotels nearby, although all of them charge extra and are within the Congestion Charge Zone. The hotel is currently being redecorated, and has just ...

Review of County London Hotel, London

Travelodge Uxbridge, London (10 pictures included)

Advantages: Read text
Disadvantages: \

...To the right of the Travelodge hotel is the bus station and to the left of the hotel is a Hairdresser or Barber shop. From the easy location to and from London on the Metropolitan line service which runs from Uxbridge, made me interested in booking a night stay here. From a location perspective this hotel is really good as there are two shopping centres in Uxbridge with a popular high street as well. From ciao's caption picture, the hotel from the ...
...hundred pounds a night. This Travelodge in Uxbridge from my booking experience is certainly far cheaper than staying in a much better brand of Hotel such as the Marriott or the Best Western hotels to name a few which are located quite closely in Heathrow. Other major hotels chains do not operate in Uxbridge town centre which leaves the Travelodge as the main hotel in this area. Reserving a room I used the website and booked on line in around ...
