We arrived at the John Howard at 11 on Saturday morning but check in was not until 2.00. They were happy to store our luggage and upon our retun we were pleased to find they had put the bags in our room. This is where things went downhill though as we were shown to an appartment on the fifth floor... more

spent 2 nights here with my partner, we booked through superbreaks. we did expect it to be quite nice as the area of kensington is nice, we were really impressed with our room, we had the hallway. then a bathroom leading off it, then a good sized lounge leading off the hallway, it was big enough for a desk a... more

I booked to stay here for 3 days in the middle of a week away. The hotel is in a fantastic location for all of London. The reception staff are very helpful, and when I left my bags early on my check in day, they put them in my room for me before I'd even got back! The room was... more

We booked to stay in a double room for a Saturday night at the John Howard with Superbreaks.com. Including breakfast it was £120 so quite reasonable we thought. But when we arrived we were told we had been upgraded to a one bed apartment and when she showed us to our room, it was a fantastic suprise. The apartment had... more

We had tickets to see The Killers at The Royal Albert Hall and needed somewhere to stay, close to the Theatre. My Mother and sister came with us, as we were gong to do a bit of "sight-seeing", the next day. The location was excellent, the staff were there if needed and the apartment we stayed in, was just what... more

Excellent location, friendly staff, pleasant room, good value for money. I booked through a booking website, with no first hand knowledge of the hotel, so was very pleased to find it. I would definitely recommend this hotel. more

Warmly welcomed at reception, hotel layout explained very well. The staff were friendly and helpful in all situations. The room was very comfortable including mini-bar. Room service excellent. I recommend this hotel wholeheartedly. Very close to the Rpyal Albert Hall. Kensington high street ten minute walk, but frequent bus service. Taxis plentiful, of course. I thouroughly enjoyed my stay. more

We stayed three nights at the John Howard in a 2 bedroom unit. The staff were all friendly and the unit was well equipped. HOWEVER, the hotel is very tired. Our rooms looked like they had been furnished 40 years ago and were in desperate need of an update. I have stayed in many London hotels, but none with such... more

Stayed at the hotel in April for three nights. We were able to check in very early luckily without paying for an extra night (arrived at 5am from Australia). We had a one bedroom apartment, a little worse for wear and with some rather squeaky floorboards (sorry to whoever might have been below us!), but otherwise the apartment had plenty... more
