Thinking we were booking a room at a Holiday Inn, we were pleasantly surprised to find that 5 months later the hotel had been remodeled and become a Crowne Plaza. We chose the hotel partly for its location close to the Gloucester Rd. Tube station which turned out to be ironic as there was a two day tube strike. No... more

I echo the recent positive comments since the hotel has (nearly, as soon as the second elevator opens) completed its extensive renovations. We had a pleasant dining experience at two nearby Italian restaurants a short walk north on Gloucester: DaMario is one, and the second restaurant (forget the name) is just a short distance beyond. more

Ta much muchly for echoing other positive comments. Kensington is blessed with a great choice of restaurants, bars, cafes, delis, statues of Petula Clark (well, perhaps). Hang on, I'm forgetting to mention our own lovely garden which has been a gorgeous place to sit with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc during the recent summer weather. So here is the mention...

This hotel, as other reviews have stated, is a real gem. Great location, lots of shops nearby, Tube around the corner. The room was large even by North American standards. Everything is new and shiny. My room had two showers!! Slippers and robes were a welcome touch as was the welcoming fruit basket. I also got the breakfast included deal.... more

A room with two showers? You must have been staying in one of our luxurious suites, you lucky person! Breakfast does indeed start at 0630hrs, and at the weekends it carries on until 1100am for those lie-a-bed lovers.

Just came back from a wonderful trip to London June 17-21. It's my husband, myself, our daughter age 14 and son age 12. Check in was quick and we upgraded to the club level. The club level was entrance to the club with american breakfast - eggs cooked the way we liked it, bacon, hash browns, and more. Also had... more

The nice young lady with a name being with "A" is Alina - isn't she a superstar? You are absolutely correct about snacks in the Club Lounge between 6 & 8pm - also the time for a swift gin & tonic too. Our new elevator is progressing nicely, although it has its ups and downs (ha!) - and it is...

This hotel has recently undergone a remodeling, and the rooms and bathrooms are very stylish and comfortable (with high-thread-count sheets, fluffy pillows, and sleek modern bathrooms). (As others have noted, one elevator was still being fixed during our stay, so elevator service was extremely slow, and we ended up taking the stairs several times.) However, our room (with two double... more

Well thank you very muchly for your comments. Fabrizio is walking around with a big grin on his face at being mentioned by name - he loves being "mentioned in dispatches"!

Great little hotel with a secret garden, fantastic gym, exclusive club lounge and a sexy cocktail list with genuinely friendly staff. We were sold a club upgrade on arrival and well worth the £50.00 supplement. It gave complimenatry English breakfast (for 2), free computer access, mags and rags with drinks between 6 & 8. The room had a great king... more

What a fabulous title for your review, ta. Fancy helping me write some responses? Glad you enjoyed the stay and thought our Club Upgrade was worth the money - hope you made the most of the English Breakfast!

We had a great stay at this hotel, we are a family of 4 and stayed in a family room,with a cot provided by the hotel. There was plenty of room for us all. The Decor was modern and everything was brand new due to the recent up grade to CP. We lost a bag as the airport and the... more

Another ta muchly! Hope you were reunited with your bag after the airline's loss. The museums, as you say, are less than a five minutes walk - the Victoria & Albert is an absolute must when visiting London!

I have been staying at this hotel many times over the last few years due to my company being busy with the constructuion work on the London 2012 Olympics. Until a few months ago it was a slightly tired Holiday Inn, however I could always rely on good friendly service, reasonable room rates and an almost guaranteed upgrade as a... more

Some good feedback here - thank you. Upgrades are given out as per the T&Cs of the Priority Club as laid down by IHG - we do our best to give the larger rooms to our Platinum guests where availability allows us. All guests can also opt to buy an upgrade to our Club Rooms at check-in time too. I...

This hotel has recently been refurbished and has a quality feel about it. The rooms and bathrooms are modern and comfortable. The only negative is there was only one lift due to one being replaced and a sign said the lifts were being replaced so I guess this is the final piece. more

Another lovely comment, ta muchly. The lift situation is almost there with sparkly new ones to whizz folk up and down. (I never knew how much goes into installing a lift, I thought it was two bits of rope and steam engine, seems it's all very hi-tech these days!)

We stayed at this hotel twice in February (we stayed 4 days, went to Paris for 4 days, and came back here for another 4 days). We will definitely stay here again, but there were some problems. However, almost all the problems were either a result of the current renovation or will be fixed by the renovations, so I have... more

Thank you for your kind comments, I seem to recall talking with you during your stay (if you are who I think you are!). The Paris trip rings a bell for some reason. Looking at when you stayed, February, was the time we used spanners and wrenches on the air-con system and the weather turned mild. There is a mixture...
