We had tickets to see The Killers at The Royal Albert Hall and needed somewhere to stay, close to the Theatre. My Mother and sister came with us, as we were gong to do a bit of "sight-seeing", the next day. The location was excellent, the staff were there if needed and the apartment we stayed in, was just what... more

Excellent location, friendly staff, pleasant room, good value for money. I booked through a booking website, with no first hand knowledge of the hotel, so was very pleased to find it. I would definitely recommend this hotel. more

Warmly welcomed at reception, hotel layout explained very well. The staff were friendly and helpful in all situations. The room was very comfortable including mini-bar. Room service excellent. I recommend this hotel wholeheartedly. Very close to the Rpyal Albert Hall. Kensington high street ten minute walk, but frequent bus service. Taxis plentiful, of course. I thouroughly enjoyed my stay. more

We stayed three nights at the John Howard in a 2 bedroom unit. The staff were all friendly and the unit was well equipped. HOWEVER, the hotel is very tired. Our rooms looked like they had been furnished 40 years ago and were in desperate need of an update. I have stayed in many London hotels, but none with such... more

Stayed at the hotel in April for three nights. We were able to check in very early luckily without paying for an extra night (arrived at 5am from Australia). We had a one bedroom apartment, a little worse for wear and with some rather squeaky floorboards (sorry to whoever might have been below us!), but otherwise the apartment had plenty... more

Stayed here for a Saturday night with my partner. The location is very good directly opposite Hyde Park and at the top end of Kensington High Street but really this is the only good thing to say about the hotel. When we arrived at the reception to book in the attitude of the receptionist was very unfriendly however she advised... more

Lovely older hotel, upgraded to junior suite. Great location close to Kensington park and only less than a 10 minute walk to Gloucester road tube station. Highly recommended at £107 per night. I think a good price for London. more

We stayed 3 nights in one of the apartments (or 'suites') booked through MS travel, recommended on the 'apartment' part of the John Howard entry, and saved a lot of money by doing so. The location is great - yes, it is about a 10 minute walk to the nearest tube (Gloucester Road), but buses run along the end of... more

You cant get much closer to the Royal Albert than this which is a very good reason for using this nice little hotel. We were upgraded upon arrival to a nice room with large bathroom, a bit dated but then this is not your average " battery hen" style hotel thankfully. A downside would have to be what passes for... more
