 | |  |  | Comfort Inn Kensington London: Real Comfort in Summer Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating:    Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
A nicely restored typical London house outside, a modern hotel inside.
Rooms are small, but this is normal in London, I have seen even smaller rooms in more expensive hotels here.
The hotel is located in a lively area, but there is not too much traffic in this street.
Air conditioning in London is not easily found, even in hotels that are much more expensive than this one. And summer in London can be really hot.
This hotel has also some modern things that are standard in other countries but not at all in the UK, such as satellite TV, playstation and internet in the rooms.
However, I must warn readers that it is some years since I was there, so I do not know if things have changed with regard to service and hygiene.

| | | | Hyde Park Inn: Not extravagant, but comfortable. Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
I believe this was a hostel. I don't think it was an inn or a hotel. If you are on a budget, this place would be for you. After all, you will probably be spending most of your time sight-seeing, so it is a great place to lay your head down at the end of the nite.
They provide lockers in your room, so you can lock up whatever valuables that you have. Unisex rooms that room 2-12 people @ a very reasonable price. There is not much privacy, but great oppurtunity to meet fellow travellers like your self.
The rooms are clean. I believe someone comes in every day or other to tidy up and make the beds. The bathroom, on the other hand,not as clean. It was like 50 people sharing the same bathroom.
The staff is super friendly at the front desk are able to help you with directions, they'll call a taxi for you if you need, and provide other services.
Internet access is available, but there are other places in the town, that offer a better rate. Leave a Comment Theme: HostelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: 48-50 Inverness Terrace, Bayswater, London, Englan

| | | | The Montague On The Gardens: A cosy hotel in Bloomsbury Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
Elegant, quiet and cosy, the Montague provides real comfort everywhere: in the lounge, the bar, the restaurant and especially in the rooms, that are not so cramped as those of many other London hotels.
There are discounted last-minute rates if you book less than 21 days in advance.
The Montague has also rooms designed to meet the needs of business travellers, with internet, individual fax, even shopping service for those who wish to shop in London but have no time to spare for it.
I have been there twice on work trips and I would definitely choose it again.

| | | | 'Stopover in London' : King's College Residences: Cheap vacation accommodation in student halls | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
The Stamford Street apartments are owned by King's College London - when I was shown round, I was impressed by the location, facilites and price. The helpful staff are a bonus.
King's also own 3 other student halls which are available for vacation lets:
-Great Dover Street: right by London Bridge, just south of the Thames, but very near the City of London;
-King's College Hall, at Denmark Hill in South London (particularly good value with only a 15 minute journey into the centre of town)
- Hampstead residence, the only one north of the river, in a lovely green suburb which has wonderful open spaces and an interesting history.
These student residences are let to visitors over the vacation at a very good rate. The Stamford St apartments are the only ones I've been in to, and they are built round a courtyard - they seemed very quiet for this extremely central location. The rooms are small but adequate, with a tiny ensuite bathroom and with access to shared cooking and TV areas. (You may also have access to the student gym.) All rooms at Stamford St & King's Halls are singles; there are some 'twins' at Great Dover St and at the lovely Hampstead residence.
Price and location! Ensuite accommodation at Stamford St and Great Dover St is from £32 - £35 per night (the lower rates are for stays of under 7 days); Shared bathroom accommodation at King's College Hall and Hampstead is from £20 per night single, £27 per night twin. Prices include VAT. Some halls offer a discount for students on production of ID. Prices are correct as of summer 2005.
Booking is all done centrally on the number below - you can also email via the website. Staff are really efficient when you ring - they go out of their way to help.
Stamford Street is particularly recommended as it is only a few minutes walk from the South Bank, London Eye, Waterloo (Eurostar) .
Remember these are student halls - the furnture has a very slightly institutional feel and you will see the odd 'blu tac' mark on the walls where someone has taken down a poster at the end of term. If you want to relive your student days, now is your chance!
