Holiday Inn LONDON - KENSINGTON FORUM

The hotel is very well located and has good facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We stayed for four nights in early August 2011. It was obvious that the interior has recently been updated, fresh carpet, paint, new furniture. It was nice and comfortable. The airconditioning worked well. The bath was freshly updated. It is only a five minute walk to the Glouster Road tube station and about a fifteen minute walk to the Victoria and Albert museum. I'd go back again.

I spent a few days in London for work meetings and wanted to be somewhere centrally located and comfortable. The location is ideal - on both the District and Circle Tube lines, plus the Piccadilly Line which will take you to most major sights and the airport. The room was clean, spacious (especially for London), and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there were a number of charges that were not disclosed in the hotel materials, including a 2 plus pound surcharge per minute for toll free calls and a 55 pence per minute charge for local calls. The internet cost 5 pounds for an hour, and the breakfast was about twenty dollars. This prevents me from rating the place more highly, particularly for business travel which requires internet and phone use. As well the published phone number was never answered (as my relatives found out when trying to reach me). All and all a nice place, but you can probably find something comparable that is "friendlier" on the comms side.

Great spot in London and very close to the the tube station. Some really great restaurants close by and very easy to get to all the major attractions. Hotel was clean and the service was excellent from all staff. Rooms are quite small but beds were very comfortable. Very pleasant stay.

Actually, we never made it as our flight was repeatedly canceled into Heathrow due to snow! However, we have stayed at this hotel 3 times before and found it clean and well run. However, the hotel rooms are not as spacious as those in the U.S.

We are boutique-hotel lovers, and for our first time in London (Dec. 2008) we wanted to do the best which means it's all about the location. S.Kensington is the most upscale residential neighborhood in London, very similar to the Upper East Side in NYC. Naturally, the only difference is that you are in London and you don't expect to see a high rise hotel around the corner. But there is one.. and it was ridiculously cheap in a vac.package during Christmas. i was hesitant at first but we took a chance, and after all it payed back big time. We loved the room (small but cozy), 5 star level quietness and cleanness of it was a surprising bonus. Gloucester Street is such a quaint place with a few pubs, cafes, restaurants spread on and around it. If you are fine with a high rise it is a great hotel for you! IF not, then still it serves you right in many ways except for the regular crowd at the lobby. (mostly pilots and hostesses) Bright and updated looks all over, though.
