Not as good as I had expected

Advantages: Good location
Disadvantages: Bathroom not terribly clean, fairly small rooms, over-priced for what it is.

...be said that hotels in London can be expensive, and I guess considering my room was technically free it was good value! The rooms are an ok size, for central London but they were basic - for a "luxury" hotel I can't deny that I expected a little more. My room to be fair was just a standard king room but considering this is Hilton's flagship hotel in the United Kingdom I didn't think they were anything special. The Hilton website said that it was ...
...the next time I'm in London I think I'll give the Crowne Plaza a try - although from the website the rooms look a little more dated. The bathroom wasn't very clean, with a hair in the bath and rusty fittings. The hotel provides few toiletries. I do find it annoying that hotels only seem to give you 1 tiny bottle of soap and shampoo per room, a little more would have been great so that it didn't feel as though they had to be rationed! Had i have paid ...

Review of London Hilton on Park Lane, London

Five star experience

Advantages: Cental location, excellent serivce, wifi internet, tennis court

...Churchill now managed by the Hyatt is one of the best London hotels. Hotel facilities: famous Cigar bar, recently opened (2005) Montagu Restaurant, one of the best italian restaurants in the city Locanda Locatelli, wi-fi internet, health club, hairdresser, tennis court on Portman Square, attentive security and so on. Rooms are big, clean and really 5 star standard. For a small supplement you can enjoy club lounge facilities with unlimited soft and ...
...this place is well organized. The best option if money is not an issue it to go for a Portman Square view room, on the 8 floor. The best rate you can get is to be found on the hyatt's website. (it depends of the time of the year but all in all it is gonna be above 120 pounds) ...

Review of Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill, London

Marriott Grosvenor House

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Cost

Currently under-going extensive refurbishment, as the hotel rebrands to a JW Marriott. I have not stayed at the hotel for over 2 years, but the one thing the Grosvenor House has always prided itself on is an extremely high standard of service and a very high attention to detail, which I have found has been extended to me on numerous occasions. Afternoon tea in the Palm Court whilst the resident harpist serenades the audience is one of the most ...
...the Ritz hotel, located around the corner on London's Piccadilly. Cuban cigars and Scottish whisky are certainly the order of the evening in the relaxation and ambient warmth of the Red bar, a typically small and homely cigar and whisky bar, located off the Palm Court bordering Park Lane. ...

Renaissance Chancery Court- Impressive or Overpriced??

Advantages: Exceptional service
Disadvantages: Tired rooms

...to held at the prestigious Renaissance Chancery Court Hotel, a world renowned luxurious Marriot hotel in the heart of London. Not far from Covent Garden, I was treating this beautiful hotel as a little weekend getaway. By means of an introduction I would say my feelings are mixed, and here are the reasons why. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ BOOKING Through the boyfriend’s work we could get a special rate to stay ...
...to the website to book a room. However, upon visiting www.renaissancechancerycourt.co.uk I found that the code for a room would not work. Therefore we decided to pay a visit to the hotel itself. When we entered the hotel to book the staff were extremely helpful, but again we encountered problems. To book a room apparently you need a credit card, which is common in many major hotels. Sadly neither me or my partner own a credit card, meaning we could ...

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? ...
