KINGS HOTEL- CUSTOMER COMMENTS

I cannot say enough good things about the Kings Hotel. Till rooms were large, clean and comfortable and the hotel workers were excellent. They were even able to book several sightseeing trips to different parts of the city for us. Next time I come to London I will certainly be staying there again.

The hotel's restaurant made the best food I have ever tasted. I am still dreaming about their roast beef and potatoes. I had it for lunch and dinner almost every day I was there. I wanted to have it for breakfast too, but it wasn't on the breakfast menu. The restaurant was a little expensive and the waiters were a bit careless but I still think the hotel was great.

I just want to tell visitors something about the swimming pool, at the Kings Hotel. When I was there, the water was very dirty, almost green. It really made me feel sick. When my drink fell in the water I asked the worker if I could have another one. After waiting for half an hour he still had not brought me one, so I returned to my room. At least the room was very nice. Michael Palin Sydney, Australia: August 2017

This time last year I was in London for the first time and stayed at this hotel. I found the workers there to be very friendly and helpful. The manager kindly gave me directions to the London Museum and Big Ben and one time he even had a worker take me to the train station entrance. My room was also wonderful and from the window I could see the Thames River. Ma Li Beijing, China: June 2017

£6 for a cup of coffee in the cafe! £3 for a postcard in the gift shop! £33 for a T-shirt from the clothes store! I never be coming back here. That's for certain. Julie Whinger Paris, France: May 2017
