right next to the bus and metro. A few minutes away from center. Night bus stops across the street. Affordable and in close enough proximity to all major attractions. Lester Square and Piccadily Circus about 4 stops away on the tube (10 min or so). Around the corner from Harrods.

We stayed at this hotel in May 2002. The rooms were functional, if not the most stylish. The location was great, a very short walk to the tube (less than 3 minutes), a 10 minute walk to the V&A Museum, and with a number of nearby Italian and Indian restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel offered continental breakfast.

Unique Quality: Got a very good deal on a VERY small but efficiently-designed room. Great location, down the street from the Gloucester Road tube stop. Across the street from several decent restaurants, convenience stores, and a state-of-the-art Internet Cafe.

Very much enjoyed my stay at the Park International. The building itself is fairly old, but the rooms and facilities are very well done and modern. Compared to other hotels that I have stayed throughout Europe the rooms were very spacious.
The staff was also very helpful, especially the reservation staff. They went out of their way to help correct a mistake that was made in my original booking.
Would definately stay there again.
Okay, I'm not entirely sure where all these other nice reviews are coming from, and maybe I haven't seen what other hotels in London are like, but I have to believe its gets better than this. MUCH better. The reception area was decent, and it did have internet access, but the room itself was substandard. The room was small (even by European standards) and the bed was perhaps the worst I have ever slept in. I was in one of the standard rooms, so maybe the other ones are better..who knows. I did only pay around $100 USD a night, which at least makes it somewhat palatable I guess. Location was ok (its South Kensington, about 300 yards or so to the nearest tube). My recommendation is to find something else.
The location is excellent -- just a few blocks from the tube station and in a very safe part of town. I'd stay here again for the location alone. The single rooms are tiny, but very clean and well kept. I upgraded to a double and thought it was well worth the extra money. The bed was far more comfortable and there was actually room to open my suitcase and still have a place to stand. The staff is quite helpful. The main detraction: super thin walls. Was awoken by sneezes, snores and more. Not for light sleepers. I would stay here again -- with earplugs, just in case.
i stayed there last week for a night. the check-in wasn't a pleasant experience, with the gentlemen behind the front being very rude. he treated me as if i was maybe some hole in the wall, which made me want to cancel my reservation all together. the room was spacious, at least in london terms, but it seemed very old, and the floor creaked. the bath seems to have been rennovated, but the sink had cracks all over the place, which made me want to use it without turning on the lights.
all in all, it had a very 70's like atmosphere. the room that i stayed in did not face cromwell road, which made it very quiet. given the price of the room and the location of the hotel, i guess it's worth the money. the room can very much use a makeover.
The Park International has a website, and is located minutes from central LONDON in Kensington, on Cromwell, a upper class feeling safe neighborhood. Don't use the hotel internet too much, right across the street is an Internet cafe' 30" for $1 GBP...less if you are a student.The hotel is one block from the tube and minutes away from anywhere you want to go! The Tube is the best transportation I have experienced, better than Paris Metro and NY Subway, faster and easier to use, cameras all over, felt safe. Get pass to cover all of the days you will be there...cheaper this way, get it for all zones.The rooms are rather small. Most refurbished. Breakfast included and very nice. The staff especially, Shawnhen, David and Sasha are very helpful. BOOK ON LINE FOR REDUCED RATES!Store luggage here, while you travel to other countries. Amazingly you won't need much to wear..go to Rick Steve's site to see what to packe. Have Fun!Sherry
The Park Hotel is good value for money. It has a fantastic location (2 minutes from Gloucester Road tube). The rooms weren't huge but were very clean. The bed was comfortable, the shower fabulously powerful and there was plenty of wardrobe/luggage space. The only mildly negative points were that the staff were a bit disinterested and the breakfast (if you have to pay) is on the steep side. But I would definitely go back again.
We will be in London in 10 days. We made a last minute switch of hotels from one in King's Cross to Park International at Cromwell Road (Gloucester Road Tube). Got a fantastic deal on expedia.ca. What's this area like? Has anyone stayed at this hotel before? I know looks can be deceptive on the website. Anyone? Thanks.
Hi, I live in London and although I dont know the hotel itself its down a long stretch where there are many other hotels. They all tend to vary in quality. However I do think staying there is a better bet than Kings Cross. One thing to remember is that you wont be spending much time there as there is SO much to do in London. Can I recommed the very well priced river cruise from London to Grenwich that leaves from Westminster, I have lived in London most of my life and loved it! It only costs about £6, you dont have to book in advance and it leaves every half an hour!
