Kingsway Hall Hotel

My family stayed at Kinsgway Hall from 8/23-9/1/04. The location is great. The hotel is clean. We did not find the staff to be particularly friendly or helpful with the exception of Gary and Mark who were wonderful. For example, one concierge took 5 minutes to find the phone number for British Airways only to find that he'd given me the number for a parking garage instead. Warning: do not stay in room 109 or 110 unless you are prepared to be awakened each morning between 6-7 am by a garbage truck crushing glass. Nearby places to eat included... more

Stayed at this hotel over the bank holiday weekend. This was the perfect base for shopping, theatre and a short tube ride from all major attractions. First impressions were fab - building stylish and staff very welcoming. The room was tastefully decorated, spacious and clean. We'd recommend the varied breakfast served in the restaurant - it was a great way to start the day. After a hard days shopping and theatre, the champagne cocktails served in the bar are a must! We'll look to book here on our next visit to London.

From the 15. - 22. og August me and my boyfriend stayed at Kigsway Hall. After reading all the reviews on Tripadvisor, we booked the hotel for only £48 per person per night including the continental breakfast. The hotel had a perfect location, with only a few minutes walk to Holborn Station, Covent Garden and even to Piccadilly Circus. The staff were very friendly, and the concierge was very helpful. Book all the attractions with the concierge and avoide the queues! Our stay could not have been better. The room was great and very... more

Recently spent a couple of nights at the hotel after booking one of their online deals. The hotel is clean and well positioned within London. The room was nicely designed, clean and plentiful furnishings. As usual for hotels, the mattress was hard and the pillows too soft but that's par for the course. The bathroom was small but clean, with robes, plenty of towels, flannels, soaps etc. The room also included slippers, trouser press, an iron, an ironing board and a safe. The minibar was one of those interactive ones... so... more

The service was good from the front desk agents and the concierge. We were disappointed with the hotel's restaurant, and did not receive very good service there. We found our suite clean and well-appointed. Sometimes concierge had a tendency to recommend the "tourist" restaurants, and even though we were tourists, we really did not want to go to those. You would be advised to make very clear what you want....

Just came back from London where my friend and I spent 8 nights at this hotel. At 100 GBP per night - twin - including the ample continental breakfast, I don't think we could have done better in London during the summer. Nicely decorated, stylish bathroom, helpful staff and a really good continental breakfast. Close to the tube, the theaters (and the 1/2 price theater kiosk in Leicester Square), and a well-stocked grocery store for snacks. I felt very lucky to have found this hotel.

Stayed over one night with my daughter. 1st thing to report is it is so handy for the West End, literally 2 minutes walk from Drury Lane, and just a bit further for Covent Garden. Two tube stops from Kings Cross. I couldn't have found a better location. room was comfortable, and it was just what we were looking for. Excellent !

Stayed for the first time for one night 6 August 2004. I endorse everything that the other reviewers have said. Good room, quiet, well appointed and exceptionally nice staff. I had breakfast in my room. This arrived at the requested time and was well presented. Particularly liked the fact that the butter was in a proper dish, instead of those horrible little foil packs! I also had a good tasty pre-theatre supper in the restaurant. Excellent location particularly as the purpose of my visit was to go to the Royal Opera House that... more

We stayed in this hotel for a week during Christmas in 2004, and we had a great time! Everything about this hotel was perfect: very cute room, perfectly clean and nicely decorated in red, brown and gold (no it wasn't tacky although it may sound so). Also brand new and spotless bathroom and very nice staff. Location is great, steps to Covent Garden and about 10 min walk to Soho and Leicester Square passing through a very cute shopping street. I really enjoyed our everyday walk to Soho. This hotel was definitely above my expectations,... more

We've been to London enough times to know that finding a central and affordable hotel is trying, particularly in the middle of summer. Viola! Not only is the Kingsway Hall Hotel in a great location and less expensive than most other hotels of this caliber, but it is also rather classy! We flew into London for an overnight visit before our departure home and we chanced the stay after reading the reviews on this site. Good choice! We tend to remind ourselves to expect the unexpected upon entering a hotel room, for hotel rooms in European... more
