A sanctuary in the heart of London

Advantages: Very central, well connected, good value, comfortable
Disadvantages: none to speak of other than the rooms could be bigger

...London for work or play. The West End theatres are literally round the corner along with all the other central London famous sights. Needless to say transport links are good be it by bus, train, underground, foot or bicycle. Of course driving is not recommended! I found the concierge helpful and polite. The entrance seemed quite grand to me and you immediately felt transported out of the hussle and bussle and into a sanctuary of tranquility. The ...

Review of The Strand Palace Hotel, London

Use it as a base but eat elsewhere

Advantages: Good standard Holiday Inn
Disadvantages: Food not great, distance from a train - reliance on buses.

...typical of that of most holiday inns i have stayed. The bed was comfortable, there was a desk, iron and ironing board and i tv with standard channels and some satelite channels - mainly news. The bar - decent range of drinks - the house white wine was pretty good and only £3.50 which i thought was fair considering it was a hotel bar in London. Food - first night we ate at the bar. I had a margerita pizza. What can i say.... well it came it still ...
...but on this occasion i let the staff know and they couldn't do enough for me. The pizza went back and came out 5-6 mins later piping hot. They also brought me another glass of wine free of charge as way of an apology. I'm easily pleased!!! There is another place to eat in the hotel - the main restuarant area where most meals are served buffet style. The food here was actually pretty good, although not sensational. Gym - there is one here and i did ...

Review of Holiday Inn London Brentford Lock, London

Staff were great

Advantages: food
Disadvantages: crowed people

I took a lot of searching on the Internet to find this hotel, and I must say that at furst, I was put of by the price, but after staying there, I can say that it was the right choice. Located in central London, this hotel offers a wide variety of facilities, with the rooms being more than large, including and en-suite, and double beds. The food here was brilliant and I didnt have to go and find somewhere else to eat. The quality of service here was ...

Review of Novotel London Euston, London

Top Dollar, bottom drawer

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Value, quality, customer service

Top price, bottom drawer At £130, it was top price (okay it was pre-Christmas), but for a tiny double room with remnants of a leak from above (or was it streaks of nicotine from its previous smoking room days?). Only very slim people should share that room! The en-suite bathroom was tucked into the eaves and surely wasn't intended for use by anyone over 5'2" . If that was a "superior" room, I'd hate to see anything less. After a night out, the ...
...baguettes, no food was available after midnight. The day was kick-started at 8am by an over eager maid and again at 8.30am, shortly followed by probably the worst hotel breakfast I've ever not eaten. The surly receptionist wasn't in the slightest bit interested in our disapointment and as we took a cab to the recommended car park (Queens), I reflected on the shame that visitors to our great capital get rinsed like this every day. (By the way, its ...

Review of Corus Hotel Hyde Park, London

Great value hotel

Advantages: Handy location, good rooms
Disadvantages: Not really any

I stayed at this Greenwich hotel this Christmas and was drawn to it because of its cheap price for quality rooms. I booked through hoteldirect.co.uk. The location of the hotel is excellent. Although the area around it is not very aesthetically pleasing, it is close to the O2 arena and a local retail park which was great for my holiday, yet it is far away from central London so not busy.The hotel is near the Blackwell Tunnel and I was anxious about ...
...was not the case. From the hotel you can see many great things such as the O2 and Canary Wharf, which produced some great shots on my camera. The staff were helpful but not intrusive on my visit. The rooms themselves are probably described as being quite basic. However I am used to traveling abroad to countries like Greece, so I thought the room was great. The beds were clean and comfortable, the bathroom complete with a power shower and W.C.. ...
