Holiday Inn LONDON - KENSINGTON FORUM

The location is very good. The Underground is close, as are resturants, grocery stores and nice neighborhoods. The Concerige was very helpful. Rooms were small even though I booked an larger room. They did upgrade me to a Suite for only 75 quid for the 4 nights. This room was fine. Ask them about this, it was worth it.

No electrical outlets near the head of the bed. Made it very difficult to use cpap machine necessary for sleeping. No instructions how to turn on TV or keep the electricity on in the room. Huge stains on the carpeting. It looked like a pet had been kept there.

london,England. I never been to London This was an excellent trip

Stayed for two weeks. The hotel is at perfect location for access to the London Underground. Used the Picadilly Line tube from and to Heathrow. Within walking distance of several 24 hour supermarkets. Nearby are: three museums, lots of restaurant and several parks. The hotel room had great A/C, and a very comfortable bed. The room was kept clean on a daily basis. Overall, this is a perfect location for a vist to a great city.

I would highly recommend the Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum. Though the room was quite small and rather spartan, it was perfect for our purposes. It was air-conditioned, which was indispensable for the hottest days in London in three years. It is only a block from the Gloucester Road tube station and easy walking distance to several museums and the Royal Albert Hall. Best of all, it is located next to a mini-mall with several restaurants, a grocery store and a pharmacy.

convenient South Kensington location to great shopping, Harrod's, Royal Albert Hall, Science museum. hotel personnel were very helpful and pleasant would recoomend to anyone traveling to London

Great location - able to walk to three museums, a grocery store and several restaurants, and the underground. Hotel staff pleasant and helpful. Room small but clean

The hotel gives the impression it may be going a bit downhill. While everything was adequate, nothing really stood out as being great. On checkout, staff asked if we had a chance to try the exercise room (we had), and commented that they just put in all new machines the previous week (early June, 2009). I found this peculiar, as one of the stationary bikes was out of order already. The internet connection in our first room did not work, so they gave us the option to change rooms. A very helpful man at the front desk noticed the room next door to ours was open, and let me try the connection there before moving our luggage over. You will pay 15 pounds per day or 75 for a week of internet connection. This was a surprise to me, having had free wireless in our previous London hotel. The location is great, a block west of Gloucester Road tube station, on the Circle, District and Picadilly lines, so it's an easy trip to Westminster, SoHo, or just about any of the tourist destinations. We were on the 4th floor, and did experience some vehicle noise from the street and music, possibly from within the hotel, because I didn't notice any dance clubs on the street outside.

I was only there for one night, and a short one at that, but my stay was very good. I had a late check-in which wasn't a problem at all, I just called ahead and let them know. And when I checked out the next morning I was able to leave me luggage at the hotel for the day while I walked the city. Very accommodating staff; great experience!

The London Kensington Forum is exremely convenient for getting around London.With a tube station only a half block away and a taxi rank on the hotel grounds a visit to any part of London is a snap, even for the London newcomer.Couple this with a central location and a myriad of restaurants and pubs within walking distance and you have a safe bet for a London stay.However,if you are seeking old world charm you won't find it at this very large,modern,American style hotel.
