Holiday Inn LONDON KENSINGTON FORUM

The standard room is on the small side. We had to change the room when we checked in to get a better arranged room that gives some space (or the illusion of!). But I think this is comparable to any London hotels though. The room was well furnished and had great beds and pillows. It also had heated tiles in the bathroom, that was a first for me. It's close to the South Kensington tube station, but in cold weather you'd wish it's closer. I stayed at the Millennium next to Gloucester on my previous trip and missed the convenience of staying right next to the underground station. The bar is good and the staff is friendly. It's nice that the lobby has a bunch of fireplaces to sit next to. Overall I'm satisfied with this hotel, but if you have a lot of luggage and 2 people are staying, it feels cramped.

It was some busy event week in London and we paid a lot ($520/US a nighr) for the stay. The room was small but nice location. If this was much much cheaper then I will come back.

I arrived London sept 11, 2011 flying from Portland, Oregon to Chicago. Staying at the holiday inn forum based reading several hotels reviews and checking for rates. The holiday inn forum just met my expectation with regard to the convience of its location to the Gloucster subway station and tesco supermarket and sevral restaurants, fast food restaurants, cafe's including star bucks coffee where you can obtain a UK starbucks user name and pass word for 5 pounds = $8 to use free wifi in any starbucks in london. Still much cheaper then hotel rate. Nothing is free in London. Forget holiday inn hotels in the u.s when it comes to free wifi Or prices. Tow weeks before I was in holiday inn Redding California stayed in a much larger executive room with 2 queen size beds that takes 3 people for the rate of less than $140/night comparing $500/night in London inclusive tax and breakfast All in all the quality of services, breakfast, cleanliness was fair. Windows were double glazed and isolated the out side noise. But the wall between the rooms not the same. Also the hall way carpet is wary and should be changed. The hotel concierge was helpful in directions and arranging a shuttle to the airport. It's half the price of a taxi and more convenient than the underground with all your luggage. But for theater tickets got cheaper ones from theater tickets in Piccadilly ticket shops or online or even walking to the theater itself like I did for the phantom of the opera

The hotel is very well located and has good facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We stayed for four nights in early August 2011. It was obvious that the interior has recently been updated, fresh carpet, paint, new furniture. It was nice and comfortable. The airconditioning worked well. The bath was freshly updated. It is only a five minute walk to the Glouster Road tube station and about a fifteen minute walk to the Victoria and Albert museum. I'd go back again.

I spent a few days in London for work meetings and wanted to be somewhere centrally located and comfortable. The location is ideal - on both the District and Circle Tube lines, plus the Piccadilly Line which will take you to most major sights and the airport. The room was clean, spacious (especially for London), and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there were a number of charges that were not disclosed in the hotel materials, including a 2 plus pound surcharge per minute for toll free calls and a 55 pence per minute charge for local calls. The internet cost 5 pounds for an hour, and the breakfast was about twenty dollars. This prevents me from rating the place more highly, particularly for business travel which requires internet and phone use. As well the published phone number was never answered (as my relatives found out when trying to reach me). All and all a nice place, but you can probably find something comparable that is "friendlier" on the comms side.

Great spot in London and very close to the the tube station. Some really great restaurants close by and very easy to get to all the major attractions. Hotel was clean and the service was excellent from all staff. Rooms are quite small but beds were very comfortable. Very pleasant stay.
