Advantages: Location, price
Disadvantages: Rather Icky

The Green Court Hotel is situated on Hogarth Road, between the Earls Court and Cromwell Road. This location occasionally causes the Green Court to get over excited and claim it is based in Kensington. The Hotel is run by a man who looks suspiciously like the shopkeeper out of Mr Ben. It is a fascinating place to stay. Luggage arrives and leaves throughout the day, rarely accompanied by guests. At lunchtime most weekdays a man walks down the street ...
...walking distance of Earls Court and Olympia, along with The Natural History and Science Museum. This hotel is fine if you are with someone and are paying your own way. If your company books you in to the Green Court, do the decent thing and leave – now! ... Read review

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Paper thin partition\stud walls

I have to say that I would not recommend this B&B to anyone (unless you pay no more than £25 per night) This B&B is reasonably decorated (3/5), adequately clean (3/5) (the second room I got I found that the bathroom floor was a bit sticky!), the staff are friendly (Score: 3/5) but unfortunately the sound proofing (Score: 0/5) between rooms is terrible - I could hear lots of "noises" coming through from the adjoining room. This also applies to the ...
...are in your room and also there is a bit of a draft too. (The cars drive round that street all night long!) Also, you can smell smoke, as it funnelled in because the other occupants were smoking out of the bedroom window. Okay, I don't expect the following to get posted, but it is dam funny: I suppose it didn't help that the couple in the room next door decided go "hell for leather" from about 12 midnight, and because the walls are so thin, it is ...

Advantages: Soft beds, high-speed internet, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Noisy at weekends, below average housekeeping

The Cumberland is easy to find, the staff are helpful, and the rooms are clean. However there are a couple of faults. Upon arriving at the hotel, I was told that my room had been double booked, but they decided to grant me a free upgrade. All good except that my room was now above the hotels nightclub, and I had to put up with booming music until 3am. That said, I did manage to have a wonderful sleep after it finished, and awoke feeling refreshed. ...
...want to get up! The other thing I wasn't too impressed with was the bathroom. There were several cracks in the plaster, one of the lightbulbs had blown and the complimentary shampoo bottle was half empty. My advice? At reception, ask what the noise levels are like in the room and don't accept it until you have inspected it. ... Read review

...have visited the island of Tresco and its fantastic Abbey Garden. Tresco itself is one of the larger of the Islands that make up this wonderful archipelago, and can be reached from the island of St Mary's via boat crossing several times a day. We opted for the 1015am sailing, and this simple boat carries about 85 people on bench like seating. The crossing takes about 30 minutes, and could be a little choppy in parts, although no one seemed to have ...
...lands on the beach at Tresco in the village known as Old Grimsby on the east of the island, and the waters are extremely shallow here. The captain of our boat was quite a comedian and as a result I know I was not the only one who thought it was a wind up that he asked the people at the back of the boat to move forward, so he could propel us the final few yards and on to the beach. I recommend the 1015 crossing so that you can maximise your time on ... Read review

We recently stayed in the Hoxton Hotel a few weeks ago after getting it in one of their £1 sales (I'll come on to that later) and we loved every minute of it! The hotel itself is still fairly new and calls itself an 'Urban Lodge'. It only opened in late 2006 and for a long time was booked up solid due to a lot of good reviews from the press and customers who managed to get a room there. It is located just by Old Street station with exit 3 being ...
...3 months of so the Hoxton hotel has a £1 sale where they release 5 rooms per night at £1 to be booked over a 3 month period. For example, they had a sale in April where you could book rooms between 1 May - 31 July. They only have 500 rooms available so you need to be quick. They recently had another sale for 1 August - 31 October and all the rooms sold out in about 20 minutes. At the same time as the £1 sale, they also offer a further 500 rooms at ... Read review
