Hotels in London in general Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

Visiting London can be an expensive business but lets face it a visit to the Capital is worth it. I found, quite accidentally, that staying in student accommodation is a really good value way to have a holiday. Now you might be picturing a grotty bedsit in a not very salubrious area but believe me you might be pleasantly surprised. ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Usually, when I go away for a short break, I usually end up staying in Youth Hostels along with my husband. In most places they are just as good as low budget hotels, but not so in London. Last year we went to see Bon Jovi play in Hyde Park and stayed in this absolutely awful Youth Hostel, so ...  Read the complete review

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. ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

When hunting for hotels for a weekend I noticed that some establishments were charging the same price as a week's holiday in Spain for a 2-night stay. Having decided to go for the cheaper option of a 3 diamond hotel - recommended to me by a friend, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the rooms in the Luna Simone Hotel were well above ...  Read the complete review

It’s a widely held belief that London hotels are overpriced, unfriendly places full of exploited tourists and moaning provincials. Yet while that image is certainly true of much of the accommodation in our capital city, and indeed much of the accommodation in any capital city, friendly, conveniently located and reasonably priced options ...  Read the complete review

A couple of weeks ago we went down to London on a weekend coach trip to see My Fair Lady at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The overnight stay was in the Crowne Plaza Hotel at Heathrow Airport. This hotel has 458 bedrooms, including some deluxe rooms and some suites, so it is a huge place, and there were numerous coach trips using ...  Read the complete review

The five star Marriott County hall hotel is situated in the heart of London opposite the Houses of Parliament. Situated in the old Greater London Council building the hotel has kept many of the period features from its former use. The entrance is quite easy to miss and on the left hand side immediately after crossing Westminster Bridge. ...  Read the complete review

I have stayed in a few hotels in London and I must say that they do not match neither the comfort nor the service levels of those in other countries, and yet they charge much much more! The rooms are always too small and stuffy. The bathroom does not have adequate ventilation and the hotel itself usually should have been renovated about ...  Read the complete review
