Historical Traveller Reviews of Kingsway Hall Hotel
Great and quiet location
from A TripAdvisor Member
We got married on April 10, and three days later we flew to London to celebrate our honeymoon. When arriving to Kingsway Hall Hotel, which we found on needahotel.com and where we also got a great deal, we first got a key to what was supposed to be our room. But unfortunately someone already lived in that room. However, the reception very quickly corrected their mistake, and gave us the correct room. In general big cities have small hotelrooms, and considering that fact, the room was alright in size. The service at the hotel was superb all through our stay. The staff really wanted us to feel at home, and we did! The hotel is situated just minutes away from Covent Garden, but still the surroundings are quiet and calm. And if you´ll walk five minutes the other way, you´ll find yourself on New Oxford Street, not very far from Piccadilly or Oxford Circus with lots of shopping. The underground station is also not very far away. We highly recommend this hotel, but remember to book on the net. It´ll save you lots of money!
We´ll be coming back to London. And Kingsway Hall!

A hidden gem in London
from A TripAdvisor Member
We were able to get a good internet deal on the Kingsway Hall and stayed there during April 2004. It is on a side street and away from the heavily traveled tourist areas, but convenient to Holborn tube and within reasonable walking distance to many of the top sights, being situated roughly between Bloomsbury and Covent Garden. Restaurants, pubs, and a grocery store are all conveniently nearby.
Our room at the Kingsway Hall was a bit small (it's London, after all) but very clean and well furnished, and had probably been newly refurbished. Back facing side of hotel: no view but very quiet. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful.
We were lucky to have booked this one. I recommend it to anyone who can find a good deal online. We would certainly not hesitate to stay here again.

from A TripAdvisor Member
we have stayed at the kingsway 4 times now and have always been well looked after ,it is very central to west end and can walk to most places. we booked our first two visits from last minute and got very good rates but recently it has been better value to book direct ?75-120 per room , our last visit was the best all the rooms we have had have been very good if a little small ,but alway extremely clean in fact the chambermaids are top class . but they gave us a complimentary upgrade to a suite which was fantastic . i am a very fair person but am always on the look out for good customer service which up till now i have always had at the kingswasy keep up the good work i would recommend this hotel to anyone
Great Location!
from A TripAdvisor Member
I booked my room with ------- and got a good rate. I had read all of the reviews here and I must say all the good thing I read are true. The hotel is clean and the room was well appointed. On check in we got an upgrade to an executive room. The bathroom was small but spotless, complete with towel warmer and blow dryer. I had no problem with water pressure and appreciated the make-up mirror. The closet was standard size and had a trouser press and iron. There was an electronic safe for extra cash and passports. The mini bar was there if you wanted and the tea kettle came in very handy. The King bed was firm and a little short but clean and plenty of pillows. The internet in the room was L12.95 but the lobby, restaurant and bar has free wireless service. The bar staff was friendly and the service was good. You could get sandwiches and snacks all day. Safe neighborhood and great food nearby. No complaints. I would recommend this hotel.
Fit for a King !
from A TripAdvisor Member
Had a fabulous weekend at this hotel - The room was very comfortable and clean. Hotel in general was well maintained. Used the Spa facilities which were of a very high standard and empty - so there were just 2 of us in a Jacuzzi for 12 ! The location was brilliant as it's so close to the Theatres, Covent Garden and Oxford St - would highly recommend
Fit for a Queen
from holidayprincess
Just returned from an excellent stay at Kingsway Hall. It was an 'internet deal' and hence expected small room etc, but not so (well, not for London). The impeccable service far exceeds a capital city 4* and every little detail was thought of. Staff couldn't do enough for you. It was near the river, theatres, bars and restaurants. We will definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.
Outstanding
from Spence_B
I got an excellent rate through Priceline.com seeking a four star hotel, but was a little leary since it was not in the exact location I had hoped. Well, the location was fantastic for just about everything in London, and the hotel itself was outstanding. It is a five minute walk to great shopping in Covent Garden, and about 5-10 minute walk to the West End theatre district where there are literally hundreds of excellent bargain restaurants (Cafe Fiori tremendous breakfast; Cafe Espana classy and reasonable Spanish food; Pollo very inexpensive Italian with dozens of pasta selections). Also, a couple of minute walk to the Tube, however, my family (including three kids) was able to walk to just about every historical attraction (anywhere from 10-30 minute walk). The hotel is pristine clean, the rooms are nicely decorated and large (by London standards), the staff is extremely friendly, and it has a nice fitness room and jacuzzi/steam bath, which came in handy after long days of sightseeing. A couple of blocks away is a Marks and Spencer grocery, where we bought snacks and bottles of wine to munch in the room, rather than spending lots of $$ on room service. I would defintely stay there again, with or without my children.
Another great stay at Kingsway Hall
from RichWoon
I stayed at the Kingsway Hall Hotel from 12/26/03-1/2/04. Except for our 1st night, the stay was great. Avoid corner rooms ( such as 405), as we were up til 3am from music from a neighboring club. However, the staff gladly moved us to another room the next day after we complained.
This hotel has an A+ location and excellent internet rates. At checkout, we were even given a lower rate than we originally booked for. My only suggestion is that they get softer mattresses - their mattresses are not bad, just too firm for my taste. I will stay there again after the dollar gains some strength.

Great Hotel for the Money
from A TripAdvisor Member
My boyfriend and I came to London from NYC for 2003 New Years. We had a great stay in this hotel. The staff were more than accomodating and I thought the room was perfect. The bathroom and towel heater was very nice and we also enjoyed the size of the room... If you are looking for a good deal (we paid $76 a night on Priceline) this is the way to go!
My favourite London hotel
from lolly-UK
Absolutely my favourite London hotel. This one has it all, staff who are courteous and polite, large rooms (for London), comfortable beds and a wonderful location; perfect for the West End and theatreland.
I've stayed four times now and it is always the one I check availability on first.
