My wife and I stayed in this hotel in mid-december for her 30th Birthday as part of a trip to London. We were not dissappointed! We booked direct with the hotel (http://www.milenniumhotels.co.uk/).
To start off with, the location is superb. It is literally around the corner from the Gloucester Road tube station. I'm not great with distances, but i would estimate it at 100-200 yards away. Great to dash to if it is raining. They also have secure undergound parking (i believe a charge applies, but i don't know how much).
Although the hotel says it is located in Harrington Gardens, the entrance is actually on a discreet undercover road between Harrington Gardens and Courtfield Road. As soon as you walk or drive through, it feels and oozes class.
The main doors are opened by one of three concierge members, and you are immediately welcomed (some places look down their noses at guests - these people seem to want to help).
We turned up early at midday (normally 2pm check in time), and were told our room wasn't ready. We went out for lunch (after leaving our bags with concierge), and when we came back at 1pm our room still wasn't ready. They apologised for this (even though we were still there before the proper check in time), and upgraded us to one of their club/members rooms.
The rooms itself was very nice. Not only was it clean and comfortable, but it was well designed for a hotel room. They had a small wardrobe/chaning area set into an alcove in the wall, and the bathroom, although compact, felt spacious due to the layout of bath/toilet/sink areas. The bed was also uber-soft and comfy, and i have one of the best sleeps in a hotel room so far (and i normally do about 30-50 hotels nights per year).
It was also VERY quiet for a hotel in the middle of London.
All the normal ammenities were in the room, including - hairdryer, minibar, large plasma TV (including all sky sports channels!), and dressing gowns.
They also said that they had a fitness facility/gym at the hotel, although we never went looking for it.
We didn't try any of the food, as we had dinner reservations in the west end, but the menu's looked extensive and good quality. The hotel has 5 restaurants : Olives Restaurant and Bar, Southwest 7, Bugis Street Brasserie, Humphrey's Bar, and The Bombay Brasserie.
If you wanted something cheaper, there are lots of bars/restaurants/coffee shops a few hundred yards away (along the main road where the tube station is located).
The other great thing, especially being a "tourist" in London, is the ability to leave your bags with concierge after you have checked out. This means you can enjoy your last day in London, and collect your bags in the evening when you are finally going back home.
We thought our room and stay was excellent value for a hotel chain of this quality in this part of London. We would deinfately stay there again.
