Hotels in London in general

I was in London the week before last for a three day break. Picked the right week too, as the weather was clear and dry and relatively warm for the time of year. We stayed at this new hotel ? Twenty Nevern Square (hereafter referred to as 20NS). The hotel is in the Earl's Court area, just a couple ofminutes from the exhibition hall. I found the hotel on www.lastminute.com, which is actually a bit of a misnomer, as my trip was planned for over two months! The rate quoted was £89. I didn?t actually book with Last minute.com, but I handled it directly with the hotel and booked over the telephone. I was still able to get the £89 room rate, with flexibility on ...  Read the complete review

I have just returned from a most enjoyable stay at the Langham Hilton. One of the flagship hotels of the European branch of the Hilton group, I had read several reviews of this hotel and - these being fairly negative - entered the portals with my eyes wide open. I was expecting poor, arrogant service. Wrong - the service was helpful, friendly and efficient. I was expecting tiny rooms. Wrong, again! Read on! So - Why visit the Langham? There are several answers. Firstly, it benefits from a truly great location, conveniently located close to Oxford Street and Regent Street in London; it's extremely central. Secondly, it's a simply magnificent ...  Read the complete review

I recently stayed at the Guoman Charing Cross hotel as part of a competition prize to see Jimmy Carr. The prize included overnight stay in a luxury hotel and this was the hotel we were booked into. The hotel itself is a very short distance from Trafalgar Square and is situated directly above Charing Cross station. There is no parking at the hotel, so we parked our car at the Trafalgar Car Park at Spring Gardens. It was a short walking distance from here and was quite manageable with our suitcases. It is a Grade II listed building and is ideally situated to explore the west end theatres and galleries. The hotel itself is very grand with large ...  Read the complete review

My family and I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Bloomsbury London from Wed 11th-Sun15th April 2007 on a three day advance deal with full breakfast included. We were two adults and two children and it cost £116 on the Wed and Thurs Nights and £107 the Frid and Sat nights. On arrival we were upgraded at no extra charge to an executive room on the top(6th) Floor. I am a Priority Club member (register free for this on www.priorityclub.com) so maybe this helped with the upgrade. Check in was 2pm and even though we arrived an hour earlier we were allocated the room straight way. Where this hotel wins hands down is its LOCATION in the Russell Square area just a ...  Read the complete review

The Chamberlain is the third Fullers Hotel in Central London, and the first that is 4 star and a hotel in its own right. The Mad Hatter Hotel near Blackfriars Bridge and Sanctuary House Hotel near St James Park, are really just rooms above Fullers Pubs, and although they offer great value for money and facilities far above expectations, I especially looked forward to visiting the Chamberlain. Our experiences at another 4 star Fullers Hotel, the Brigstowe in Bristol had been less than positive, but by contrast the Chamberlain appeared a much more traditional option that the trying-to-be-trendy Brigstowe, so we were optimistic that Fullers had probably got this 4 star ...  Read the complete review
