Royal Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were courteous and friendly."

Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre Gloucester London

6/10 Okay

"Location for our visit to Royal Albert Hall was great. We arrived at gone 1600hrs and were advised we were going to be upgraded to a VIP room, but it would take 20mins to get ready. Generous room but very tired - thankfully the air con was quiet and worked quite well in London’s 35 degree heat! We were given two complimentary drinks vouchers which we intended to use after the show. On our return the bar shuts at 2200hrs!!! Didn’t take breakfast, and, if it wasn’t for the location wouldn’t have picked this hotel."

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

6/10 Okay

"Staff were super helpful and friendly. General room amenities were as expected and everything was well stocked. The only thing that lets this hotel down is the decor and maintenance. The soap/shampoo dispensers in the bathroom were not well mounted onto the wall and would fall off the wall if used with just one hand. The carpets look like something out of the 80s and the air conditioning really doesn't work. Not good on the hottest May day on record! However, for the price, it was a great location and the friendliness of the staff makes up for the lack of investment in the property."
