I booked this hotel using priceline it was better than expected however did not meet my expecations of a millenium hotel. As others say it is a little tired and in need of some taking care of. For the price the staff was exceptional and location is fantastic for anyone who has been to London before.

overall i was quite happy with my stay here although expectaions where a bit higher for the hotel brand.

Getting a bit tired

This hotel is starting to show its age, although it's still very good value at the discounted price you can usually get. Reception staff very efficient and reasonably friendly. The bedrooms are clean...

This hotel is starting to show its age, although it's still very good value at the discounted price you can usually get.

Reception staff very efficient and reasonably friendly. The bedrooms are clean and the white bed linen nice and fresh, but my bathroom shower curtain was a bit mouldy.

The bar is pleasant, although drinks are very expensive.

Above all, the location is extremely convenient - the hotel is a short walk from High Street, Kensington Tube and there are plenty of shops and restaurants on the High Street.

A good choice for leisure or business provided the deal is right.

I have stayed in this hotel on numerous occasions, purely because it is booked by my company but I dread it on every occasion! The rooms are tired and dirty. The carpets are in dire need of changing or at least a deep clean, would certainly not contemplate walking around barefoot, slippers a must! The t.v is at least 15yrs old with dodgy controls and poor channel choices. For some reason the temp in the room does not relate to the control in the room so it is always far too stuffy or bordering on frosty. The bathroom is poky and the shower/bath is always filthy and never drains well. The reception area is pleasant but the check-in proccess is always painfully slow. The 'gym' is minimal to say the least, half the size of a hotel room with 3/4 machines, and no a/c on my last visit. The bar and dining area are ridiculously overpriced, and lack anything resembling an atmosphere. I know I am sounding very critical but believe me if you had to put up with this on a continous basis you would be equally irritated!! The only positive of this hotel is its central location which means you can happily escape with ease to a better spot!

Good stay at the discounted price!

The hotel looked a little depressing from the outside but reception was clean, service was friendly and check in (and out) was AMAZINGLY quick and easy! The room was clean and served it's purpose, more like a good 3* than 4, but the location was great - easy access to the tube. Didn't sample the bar or food. Would not be overly happy to pay the advertised price but booked at a discounted price and this was fair. Would happily book again!
