The Parkcity Hotel - London

9.9

I stayed there for one week, and liked the hotel. The location in South Kensington is a little "off". With the tube it's really no problem though. The breakfast was a bit basic. The staff at the hotel were nice and helpful.

Stayed at Parkcity for 2 nights at end of August 09. The hotel is in a group of period houses in a side road in Kensington. The room was spacious (for London), modern, air-conditioned and very well equipped. The bathoroom was large, with tub with shower over. The breakfast included in our rate was excellent - lots of choice. The reception areas and room were all contemporary and stylish without conflicting with the period setting. Our only issue was the noise. The windows in our room were period sash windows with no secondary glazing. Overall a very good experience. We will return if we can get as good a deal on price again.

Great Hotel for the price and having the continental breakfast included was good. The continental breakfast was very good and the hotel room as the best on our trip. Had a bit of trouble with laundry but it all got worked out. Loved having the supermarket right around the corner and this hotel is easy access to the undergournd. We would stay here again!

We stayed at the Parkcity for 6 nights in all and would happily stay there again. It's an excellent hotel in a good location. The superior rooms are spacious by any standards and spotlessly clean. The king size beds are so comfortable! The bathroom had a deep bath and modern shower above it. Again, the bathroom was large and very clean. The hotel is on a quiet Knightsbridge street and the rooms themselves seem well insulated from the surrounding rooms. Ours had a large bay window with high ceilings, making the most of the Georgian row of houses that form the hotel. There aren't the restaurants and bar-lounge areas of the bigger hotels but the continental breakfast in the small dining room is very good. In fact, it goes beyond continental, with eggs etc. included on request. The staff are friendly and co-operative (especially in the breakfast room) though the staff at the front desk seemed overwhelmed with the number of people checking in and out. We arrived early afternoon but had to wait 2 hours for our room to be ready. I note that other reviewers complain about problems of communication with the largely foreign staff. But we had no problems at all. Our only complaints are the limited room service menu and the absence of tea/coffee-making facilities in the rooms (we bought a cheap electric kettle from the nearby Sainsbury's and left it for the next guests - or the cleaners). Overall, it's a very good place to stay, and reasonably priced for an expensive city. I can see why it's been rated in the top 1% of hotels world-wide by Expedia.

Nice neighborhood hotel on a side street off a main road (Cromwell). It is located half-way between two subway stops (five minute walk to each). Major supermarket around the corner. Seven minute jog to Kensington Park (beware of low-hangigng branches). Breakfast was great, but A/C never worked, even after numerous complaints. Would stay there again.

This was a fabulous hotel. Venere site post was a bit misleading though because we thought that breakfast was included. We had a great breakfast which we found out after that it was not included - Cost was 33 pounds for the two of us. Wow! We looked at our confirmation print out and it stated that breakfast was not included. We expressed our concern to the Front desk staff and they were very understanding and only charged us for one meal. Great Great place to stay though! I would highly recommend it. Ask for the 1st floor (balcony was fabulous!).
