My wife and I just returned home from a 7 night stay in London at the Harrington Hall Hotel. Staff was excellent, room well appointed and comfortable, even if the bed was FIRM. At 18 pounds each for breakfast, we didn't bother with the hotel restaurant , but nearby pubs and shops (right around the corner on Gloucester Rd) were excellent. The Coffee Forum served a great full English breakfast for under 5 pounds, and the Hereford Arms put out a good pint and nice meal at a reasonable price. It's just a short walk to the Gloucester Rd Tube, so with London Passes and Transportation cards we were set for the week. Would we stay here again? Absolutely!

This is a very good hotel for the money - - I would have given it 5 stars but the beds were horribly uncomfortable! I was happy to see how large they were (by London standards) but I swear i havent ever been in a bed that uncomfortable anywhere, so much so that I had to sleep on top of the comforter just to get some extra padding. However, they do give you a choice of pillows, but my back ached for a week afterward.

The rooms themselves were VERY big by London standards--larger than any London hotel I've ever been in. There was a flat screened tv in the room as well. The bathrooms seemed to have been recently upgraded with travertine tiles, but the tubs were poorly designed and one got the feeling that one must catapult over the lip of the tub to get in. Aside from that there were no anti-slip mats available and I slipped a couple of times while in the shower (this would be an easy and inexpensive thing for the hotel to fix).

That said, the buffet breakfast was a great value --provided you got it included in your package (i believe its about 30 pounds per if not). The staff are fantastic, very helpful, very knowledgeable. My boyfriend and I went there on his first-ever trip to London, so the location was great for the tube, especially since I insisted we get up at 5am and pack the day with sightseeing. You're in comfortable walking distance of the Victoria & Albert and there is a Waitrose nearby with ready to eat meals and a large wine selection so we "ate in" a lot, especially . There are plenty of affordable restaurants close at hand if you chose and I love the area in particular because its so "neighborhoody".

I would stay again for sure, but next time I may bring a sleeping bag!

Great location! Staff very helpful! We arrived at 7:00 am and were in our room immediately. That helps after flying all nite.

I have stayed in 3 other hotels in this area and was amazed at the service, size of the room, and value for money of this hotel. We had a very large twin room with excellent cupboard space and mini bar. There was a good choice at breakfast and the staff were very very pleasant and helpful. The location was perfect, not far from the train station, supermarkets and restaurants. I will definitely stay here again. Really impressed with NH hotels little touches and I will search for them in other countries.
