For business trips to recommend, very central to London city, as well as wembley for soccer stadiums. Very friendly helpful staff. Breakfast very good and diverse. Disembarkation equipment is very nice and I the rooms personally too small, but sufficient for a night read more

My stay the holiday Inn Kensington in London was my first CO meeting with that hotel chain and the judgement is quite positive. Apart from the location, which for London very good is( around the corner Tube station Gloucester road), offers the hotel clean, comfortable and relatively large room. In our package was the breakfast included and also here (despite all the fears of the English kitchen) we were not disappointed. Next to the solid, English kitchen there was also a continental breakfast (Baguette, marmelade, yoghurt etc.). All in all a hotel what its purpose fulfilled. read more

    The breakfast buffet was as already mentioned, very nice and the service was friendly. However the pub in the hotel is pretty dingy and the toiletrooms there should be avoided.

    The Latin is very pleasant and thanks to nearby metro station is well situated for easy access to the city center. Shopping and post are within easy walking distance. Some of the rooms at the main street and the windows are not particularly lärmisolierend.

You are not allowed to have with high standards in this hotel to check in. The research to find the hotel entrance was tough with our luggage and the size of the room was also only content. But I found the service general great. To answer questions on the consierge, because from the front desk are very cold and unfriendly. The best meal, you don't even if the included should be Before I warn, as the lines at the elevator at breakfast were very, very, very long and by the time you got a seat and something to eat in/out ... privileges has also took. So here rather a possibility to eat outside. It saves time and you get to see more of the city. The hotel is located in a very nice part of the city, and it is only a couple of minutes walk from restaurants, snacks, supermarkets and Drugstores away. Also various museums within walking distance to! Clubs are further away read more

The first impression from the outside was not the best. The entrance is not on the Cromwell Road, even though the the come is, but do it on the opposite side, so to speak at the rear. So we first walked around the house and the entrance were looking for. The hotel building itself is huge and, unlike some previous character buildings but rather unpleasant, little wainscotting a concrete block. But if you inside you all the nothing. From the front door, the hotel smart, superior and weltläufig. Everything is schnieke in a good way. 5 Elevators ensure that you ... never have to wait a long time for the elevator. The guests come from all kinds of different countries and cover all age groups. We have seen airline staff relatively high. Although the hotel has many rooms and is very large, were the staff its entirety and the atmosphere was friendly, so we felt well cared for. We arrived in the evening like "home". read more

    The room we stayed in was extremely clean. The room was not so big but big enough. If you are in London, half the day you are not in the room. Soap, towels, face cloths, shampoo, shower gel, hair dryer, kitchenette with a wide selection - everything there. A downside might be for some be the background noise from the street and a metro station, which run directly in front of the home runs adds to the noise level. The noise will also through the closed window into the room. The not bothered me personally, on the contrary, I like that. I note through the traffic noise, how alive city is and the enjoying. But if you like quiet, you shouldn't come here.

    Even though there are some dinner, we have only dining experience at the hotel. The period over which you can have breakfast, was pretty long (6.00-10.30 hours). The tables were thoroughly cleaned after every guest and were dry when we arrived. The buffet made an excellent impression. The continental breakfast includes not only slices with jam, but also croissants, chocolate croissants, cheese, several sorts of cold meat, yoghurt and freshly made fruit salad. Although I did not like english breakfast, so I can still say that, the English buffet really tasty and seemed well kept. The breakfast was definitely a highlight, my wife and I always new looking forward to it.

    The location is really great. There are bus stops directly in front of the door (on Cromwell Road and Gloucester Road), also an underground (metro) station you could choose from three lines. Perfect: from and to Heathrow Airport go directly with the Piccadilly line in about 50 minutes. In the immediate vicinity there was the necessary shops: Small supermarkets, pubs, cafes, snacks. The shopping area Kensington High Street is only one stop on the subway. The 74ER bus goes directly to Oxford Street.

Highly recommended for a city trip to London archived

The hotel is ideal for city break to London. Although you have to take the tube, however, is the station directly at the hotel. Our room was on the 15th floor so we had a great view over the London skyline. The first sight of the hotel is a bit shocking - since it is a high-rise/block with ignore everything stands. Also because the hotel is so huge, scrimmage there also several tour groups and just meant in the lobby of the hotel is very high. Although the hotel is occupied with tour groups, is the breakfast buffet, and the ... dining hall was always clean and tidy - the service staff was also very friendly. The breakfast buffet is fine. Due to the fact that our flight was not until late at night, and we went for a period of 12 hours but had to check out, we had to leave our luggage at the hotel storing - in a separate room, with its own Abholnr. And with a extra staff. The rooms are clean, larger ( than in other cities) and completely highly recommended for those on a city break - but the bathroom is not very big, but clean. In March 2010 have been in the hotel even work-crafted detail, so you could hear the of hammering/-gebohre - what city-traveller actually who cares it all day on tour. Around the hotel there are plenty of restaurants, bars & supermarkets. We had a great holiday (2Ü/F + flight -> 180€ per. P. ) and for the value for money is a hotel, which recommend 100 % is. read more

The 27 floors high Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum was selected on the internet and booked. The address of the big hotels is Cromwell Rd 97. The entrance is corner Courtfield Rd/Ashbum Pl. The tube-station "Gloucester Road Tube Station is located about 100 meters from the hotel, with three lines Piccadilly, Circle and District very well with the Heathrow airport and the attractions toward Westminster and connected to Tower Hill. Bus stops, city tour, ATM, supermarket and restaurants nearby. The room was clean and well appointed. The TV several foreign Fernseherprogramme, including ZDF. at the outlet strip for our was ... ever a plug for D and the United States, more for GB available. The refrigerator is inside only very small. Also the advantages of a Hosenbüglers we used. The hotel staff was always friendly and very helpful. The room cleaning was done every day and change of towels Meaningfully. This hotel is best suited for a city break to London. read more
