Mowbray Court Hotel, London

Advantages: Close to Tube Station/Bars/restaurants
Disadvantages: Lift too small

...Myself, my husband and 2 friends stayed at The Kensington Court Hotel in Feb 2006, whilst on a weekend break to London. The hotel is in an ideal situation for travellers in the fashionable Earls Court.It is a 2 minute walk to the nearest tube station and has lots of pubs and restaurants nearby. The hotel itself was very clean and well presented.The rooms were very spacious with everything you need eg hairdryers, kettles, towels, tv etc.The en-suite bathroom had a shower and bath with plenty of hot water.The beds were enormous and very comfortable.

...+++++++Intro+++++++++ This is a review of the Garth Hotel in Gower St London. I have noticed that offers for other Garth Hotels pop up around this review, so be careful which one you are looking at. Its a large 5 story terraced house currently used as a Hotel.

...that London is expensive and that you're really paying for the prime location - and this is Kensington (so you're within walking distance of the Natural History Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum, the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Earls Court, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Sloane Street etc.) - but for £160, I expected more. It didn't quite do what it said on the tin for me. If you're interested, this hotel can be found at 54 Queens Gate, London, SW7 5JW. You can view their website at: www.thequeensgate.com Alternatively, you can telephone 020 7761 4000 or fax 020 7761 4040 with your queries. You can also e-mail enquiries@thequeensgate.com. Thanks for reading. I hope it proves useful.... Read review
