Park International Hotel – London

We could not get a room in the back of the hotel. We were on the second floor overlooking Cromwell Rd. The traffic can be loud and annoying. A word of advice - ask to see the room before you move everything in. The room sizes are quite different! We were here for 7 nights and were told by the woman at the front desk that an upgrade wasn't available […] - they only give upgrades to the people who are there for only 1 night. So, the longer you stay and the more you spend, the less likely you are to get an upgrade. If I go back to London, I would probably stay elsewhere, closer to the shopping or tourist attractions. But the hotel is very clean and new. Lesa meira

Overall the staff were very friendly and the hotel was clean and modern. However, I felt like I was inside a shoebox once I entered my room. I booked a single but somehow they fit a european twin and a bathroom with a half desk and stool in approximately a 9 by 8 foot room. I didn't have space to unpack my suitcase.

Staff is obviously young and for the most part newer to the business..but they make up for it in effort and friendliness very nice accomidations as well.

Great hotel with a superb breakfast, including gluten free bread. Great rooms with nice bathrooms, great showers etc. Great hospitality and service at the hotel. Nice staff in the reception, with a variety of spoken languages. If going back to London, this is the place we'll be staying at again!

Stayed here for valentines with my girlfriend, and was very happy with everything. On arrival, the receptionist was very friendly, he asked if we had wanted a specific type of room, e.g. view, floor. The room was very nice and clean, would say nicer then the pictures, we had a balcony but unfortunately unable to use it. The bathroom was well finished. At […] breakfast the staff was very helpful, and the food was good, great way to start the day. When checking out we was able to leave our luggage until our transport home was ready, which was great seeing as we didnt want to drag our case around london. The area seemed well off, clean and had great sightseeing places nearby. Harrods, Royal Albert Hall, Hyde Park and Natural History Museum was all in walking distance. If wanting to travel to london centre, i recommend going on the underground, we found it quicker and easier. Overall i would strongly recommend and im certainly going to return, well worth the money.

Upon arrival I was amazed to see the hotel had undergone a total remodle. It is beautiful!

Very clean, good service, good location......would go back in future, ideal for Albert Hall.

Quite good value for the money. Friendly staff and very helpful. Breakfast was a fair combo of continental and english breakfast. Room was a bit small but aren´t they all in London. Clean and well lighted. An underground stoop was close by to go to almost anywhere easily.

I stayed here whilst visiting an exhibition at Earls Court (8 mins away on foot) and it's a really nice hotel. It has clearly just been refurbished as everything was absolutely brand new, even the remote control for the TV looked immaculate. I am told that another similar sized building next door is slowly being converted to extra bedrooms. The breakfast […] buffet was good and staff very attentive. I would recommend this hotel without hesitation. I will be staying here again! Lesa meira

We spent one night at the Park International in our way to Edinburgh during a family trip. We stayed in a room for three in one of the upper levels of the hotel. The room was clean, quite and comfortable. The only downside for the picky ones is that the decoration of the rooms is impersonal and could be more inviting. In any event, the Park International […] was a great deal for the price considering its good location and buffet breakfast (included in the fare). The service at the restaurant and front desk was outstanding. I would stay again at this hotel and would recommend it as a good alternative when visiting London. Lesa meira

This is a super hotel and I was almost completely impressed. Very clean, newly done up, excellent breakfasts and centrally located. Staying in Gloucester Rd was excellent for connections from Heathrow and getting into town. The staff were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. My only surprise was the tiny room. It was barely more than […] a cubbyhole, but I didn't use it for anything other than sleeping, so this was no problem to me. It was quiet too, so a f Good night's sleep was part of the package. Definitely going to use it again soon. Lesa meira

Small rooms, but I expect that in many London hotels given the older buildings. Kensington location is nice, and hotel service was excellent across the board.

Our stay at the Park International Hotel was relaxing and peaceful in elegant surroundings with pleasantly attentive staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. We found our room tastefully decorated, immaculately clean and extremely comfortable, and although only a few minutes walk from Gloucester Road tube station and handy cosmopolitan coffee shops, […] we found it quiet and calm. A new Waitrose is adjacent to the tube station and the tree-lined streets around were perfect for an evening stroll after a delicious meal served in the romantic hotel restaurant decorated in black and silver. Breakfast is a calm affair in the Breakfast Room, with attentive staff on hand. We will definitely visit here again, if only for me to soak up the luxurious atmosphere of the stylish foyer-lounge, beautiful sofas and stately Georgian architecture! A delightfully English hotel for the discerning visitor. Lesa meira

Without being too decadent, the room although quite small seemed very sumptuous and not at all pretentious, we felt at home and not as if we were pretending to be extra wealthy ! The room however was extremely warm and the a/c was not terribly efficient, so didn't actually get to snuggle in the luxurious duvet as didn't require it at all (it was a very […] warm October weekend though). The road outside was busy but the glazing worked well and the noise was only apparent with the window open. Breakfast was a calm relaxed atmosphere with plenty of choice and regularly being topped up with more freshly cooked food. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful, and we enjoyed a bar meal one evening which was a very reasonable price. We would stay again and recommend to others. Lesa meira

I am pretty comfortable with small rooms, but this "superior" was too tiny, even for London. I would be happy having paid $120 or so, but for the price I thought it was not worth it. Nice hotel, though, no complaints beside that, and if I had paid less I would have been very happy with it.

What a warm and welcoming hotel one of the best I have stayed in London. Great rooms, good food, exceptionally friendly staff. Would highly recommend this hotel

Our first room had an air conditioner problem. The staff members were so helpful in moving us to another room. It was very nice. The hotel bar was nice with a great bartender. The food in the area was great and gave us many choices. We ate at the Thai restaurant across the street. It was really good. Overall it was a fantastic trip to London. Thank […] s! Lesa meira

Very accommodating, we left for Paris for a day and they stored our luggage until the next day as we were booked to stay at the facility again. The checkmate bar is convenient and open 'til 1 a.m. Stayed at this hotel last year and will definitely stay there again upon my return to London.

This was my fourth time staying here and I'm still amazed at how each stay gets better. The staff was attentive and always pleasant. The facilities are super clean and cater to all your needs. Five minutes from the tube and all the food and drink spots. I am looking forward to my next stay. They do a fantastic job!!

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was lovely - the only drawback was that the room was miniscule like many London or NYC hotels. It was newly renovated and smelled brand new. The bathroom was particularly well done with beautiful marble tile. The breakfast was included and that was certainly convenient for a weary traveler (expect British breakfast […] food). I would stay here again and recommend it to others. It was a great value for the money! Lesa meira

I was quite impressed with this hotel, after winding up here unexpectedly due to an extended layover in London. I stayed in the most basic of rooms, the Twin Superior as I believe it was called, and was impressed. The room size was quite small by American standards, but had all the conveniences of a normal hotel room with flat-screen TV, fridge, wi-fi, […] etc. The bathroom was nice and sizable, the bed comfortable, the A/C worked well and the breakfast was good and filling. Additionally, the front desk staff was friendly and helpful; they even lent me an adapter for the length of my stay free of charge. Good and safe location in Kensington near Kensington Palace, Harrods and only a four minute walk to the Gloucester Lane subway stop. My only real gripe about the hotel is that sound of doors slamming seemed to carry on through all hours of the day and night. Oddly, the walls did not seem so thin, but for whatever reason, each time someone closed a door nearby, it was near deafening. This is not so much of a con though for me to knock off more than one point from its rating. Lesa meira

there was only one type of egg available in breakfast buffet...only disappointment

The Park hotel was very close to the gloucester road underground and to a number of supermarkets convenient for buying snacks, which the hotel was happy with. Hotel room was small but modern and clearly recently updated. Hotel cleanliness was excellent in our room and in the hotel common areas. Breakfast was self service but there was a good selection […] of hot and cold choices. Staff were friendly and helpful. We have stayed I'm London many times and this area is very convenient. Hourly overall represents excellent value for money. Lesa meira

Excellent, reasonably priced hotel. Newly renovated. Wonderful showers! Very clean. Single rooms very small by US standards--but you are in London, not the US!

I would highly recommend this hotel I was searching and searching for somewhere to stay on a recent visit to London with my mum. I only wanted to stop one night and read lots of reviews about different hotels and got disheartened by what they said. I then read reviews for Park International and it sounded fab so booked a twin room. We found it very […] easily and were very impressed. The room was new, clean and a good size. The bathroom was lovely and also clean. Breakfast was a highlight; it was my birthday that day so I celebrated with cereal, then bacon and beans on toast, then yoghurt with fruit followed by a muffin....all included in the price. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again. Lesa meira

PArk International is located at an excellent location. It is located a block to the Gloucester station which happens to be the beginning of the Big Bus tour which will give us a very good overview of London attractions. Being at the start of the big bus tour, we are able to secure the best top level seats which give us the best view of london city. […] Park international is also a five minutes walk to the Natural Museum and Art Museum. It is also a ten minutes walk to Harrods! I was not aware of the excellent location but I chosen this hotel based on Hotel.com reviews. As for the hotel itself, everything is great but take note that it is cheaper to book online. Everything are new and clean and the new carpet probably give it a 'new' smell which may irritate someone sensitive to it. The staffs are great and I certainly will chose the same hotel in my next visit. Lesa meira

After reading the reviews for the Park International on hotels.com, I have to admit that I didn't know how much I would like the place. The price was right however, so we risked it. What a surprise it was when we got there to see that the hotel had changed ownership and it was now renovated! The hotel smelt new, the rooms were brand new, with clean […] fancy bathrooms, comfortable beds, flat screen TVs and new air conditioning system. We had bought a king suite, which was all the way in the back of the hotel where they were still doing some work outside of our window. There was no noise however. The breakfast was also included, which I don't think has been updated on the hotels.com review. Hot and cold English breakfast. There is also a nice bar and Thai restaurant at the hotel, which has a pre fixed menu for 15 pounds for hotel guests. So, for a nice new hotel, two blocks from the Picadilly line and surrounded by pubs and everything else that Kensignton has to offer, the price for this hotel is definitely right! Lesa meira

everything the way it should be a nice room , good service and an excellent full breakfast and dinner. Good value for money in the London area

While still under some renovation in certain parts of the hotel, the reception area, breakfast area, and room we stayed in were beautifully renovated and very clean. The complimentary breakfast was awesome. Free internet service had a very strong signal in our room. The hotel is just about a block away from the Grosvenor Rd underground station, so it […] is a very convenient location. I would love to stay here again. Lesa meira

I was very satisfied with my recent stay here. The staff was all very friendly. The location was also very convenient and provided easy access to the major attractions in London.

18 May 2011 The hotel is undergoing a major renovation.Very nice so far. Our room had not been renovated. It was fine, but wery small.The breakfast room is quite large, very attractive and served an excellent breakfast. Handy location for Glouster Rd Underground station. We have stayed there before.

Great location close to all major museums. Hotel is about 4 buildings joined up, and it feels like it, with long twisting corridors. Single rooms are tiny. I viewed two bedrooms both overlooking a lift shaft. The hotel was having extensive building works completed when I visited. Staff are extremely nice and helpful, but that said this is not the hotel […] for me. Lesa meira

This was the first and only horrible hotel experience I have had. The hotel was clearly a smoking hotel until recently. We confirmed twice that our room would be non-smoking and they said it was. The smoke stench in the room was so thick you literally had trouble breathing. The smell is in the carpet, in the wallpaper, in the drapes (with burn holes […] to match), and even in the mattress. The "cottage rooms" are very badly outdated. The hotel was also undergoing construction. The sign posted by the general manager said they try to keep guests as far from the construction as possible. We opened our drapes to find scaffolding, boxes and a man standing there. As such, we could not open the windows to air out the room. We literally could not have been any closer the construction. And they did not stick to the posted consturction hours, working well into the early evening. Most of the staff was lovely except for the receptionist who could not find our reservation and treated us like third-class ciitizens. This hotel is so miserable that my husband and I walked out and went next door to another hotel. This hotel cannot and should not in any way claim to be smoke-free or decent. It is simply a dirty, nasty pit. The only cheery part of the hotel is the breakfast room in the basement. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Lesa meira

It's always best to start with the positive so - this hotel is in a great location to access the tube, several museums and other areas of London. The tube closest to us had 3 lines. There is a post office right by the tube station and there were 2 supermarkets 1 block away from the hotel. We got free b'fast with our reservation and it was a very good […] spread and well attended to. Now for the bad part - the hotel is currently under major renovation so that's the first bad thing. A scaffolding went up right outside our window - luckily it was the last night of our stay - otherwise, we would have had men standing outside our window banging away at 8:00AM. A portion of the hotel was blocked off and much banging and drilling would begin every morning at 8:00AM. Admittedly, we were far enough from the area to not hear it in our room, but it would definitely have been a problem once the work commenced outside our window. We booked a king room but when we arrived, were given a double - tiny, w/ a shower half the size of a London telephone booth - and told we wouldn't get a king till the next evening. Very inconvenient as we wanted to unpack and settle in. A meager compensation was given only after I asked for it - a free drink for each of us in the adjacent restaurant/bar. The king room was a fairly good size room but there was a constant smell of mildew and dampness, even w/ the window open and AC on (mind you, this was in Feb). The bathroom was decent but lacked in hooks and bars, which one needs for hanging clothes and towels. There was a tub but only a fabric curtain - no liner - and during a shower, the curtain would billow in and stick to you - not pleasant. We were told there was free wi-fi in the lobby and I was able to access it the first evening, but not again after that. When I asked the front desk, no one knew how to access it for me. The location was good for getting around London but the immediate neighborhood was lacking in good restaurants. All in all, I did Lesa meira

This hotel is undergoing renovation now, and it will be very impressive when finished. The lobby is gorgeous, all tile and marble and beautiful furniture. The staff were all very friendly. We ate in the hotel restaurant on our last night and the food was lovely and very good value for money. I will definitely stay in the Park again and would recommend […] it without hesitation. The location is perfect, the staff are wonderful, the food is just lovely, also breakfast was great, big buffet, set us up for the day. Lesa meira

nice and clean hotel with good service, close to transportation, very good breakfast, room is kind of small though.

Stayed for 1 night to make a full day at the natural history museum as a family of 4. Checked in the day before. Room was ready for us no issue very attentive staff. Breakfast included excellent selection. Some of the fixtures and fitting a little tired. Bathroom a little below standard but everything worked. Hotel is under going some refurbishment. For […] Price and location it was excellent. many restaurants very close by. Lesa meira

This Hotel was a great find, it it undergoing a refurb, so it is very tired and the rooms at the front were incredibly hot & noisy as the A/C was very poor, we had topen the windows to the very busy road. However!. The staff were lovely, the breakfast superb, the rooms clean and beds comfy. When the refurb is completed we think this will be a fab place […] to get to all london hot spots for a tourist, or w/e visitor. Refurb means hotel very shabby just now, but we were not disturbed at all ,we were there for Thur Fri & Sat. Masses of quality restraunts on front road, and underground really close. Try it... its a good one folks!. Lesa meira

Our stay was fine. Staff was very helpful (specially at the breakfast). The breakfast buffet was huge (quantity, variety...) and everything we ate was tasteful. The room was clean. Perfect stay for a week end. Quality/price was perfect (specially for a city like London).
