NH Harrington Hall - London

The Harrington Hall is under serious renovation - being turned into a modern NH template. The problem is that the staff pretend that there is no renovation underway - even though from the street you can see that the entire 4th floor is torn out. The hallways and rooms reek of toxic glue, the rooms are hot (my first one had no working cold water), the […] ventilation systems isn't functioning. It was a pretty miserable stay. Had we been informed of the heavy renovation, we would have stayed elsewhere. Read more

Loved the hotel. It's in a great location... right by the Gloucester Road tube station! The hotel staff were very kind... I had several hours to kill after my checkout and they graciously held my luggage for me. My room was neat and very clean. Bed was comfy! Next time I'm in London I will stay here again!

The hotel is in a great location. Close to the tube and restaurants. The room was very nice and the staff friendly and helpful. It was a very pleasant stay. I will definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

The location of this hotel was really great, being one and one half blocks from the Underground station on Glouster Rd. The front desk clerk, Laurent, was attentive, helpful, and enthusiatically made recommendations on restaurants and attractions. He made sure that we were happy with our accomdations. The concierge, Eduardo, was equally helpful, booking […] a tour for us. The room was comfortable and large. Read more

We really enjoyed the casual, friendly atmosphere of the hotel. We also appreciated the maid service leaving us to our own schedule. WE chose the hotel because it appeared to have British furnishings in the rooms which it did. The property was a little worn and could use some freshening up-tables scratched in the rooms; elevators were small. But the […] neighborhood was outstanding, great pubs, great casual restaurants for breakfast and lunch. . And, of course, the location is outstanding for convenience to transportation. Read more

Excellent location and neighborhood. Awful I repeat awful beds, avoid at all costs if you want to sleep. In top of this reception forgot the wake up call on the last day-almost miss the flight and had to be overcharged for cab.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was great. Had the feel of a boutique hotel, but with the amenities of a larger hotel. Excellent location - 3 minutes walk to Gloucestor Road Tube, and easy walking to shopping and sites. Only minor irritation was that while WiFI was free - it was at times very slow and/or hard to connect to.

Chose a suite for a long weekend (first trip to London for me), after a frequent international business traveler advised this hotel for a woman traveling alone. It did not disappoint! I was granted early check-in to a spacious, clean, nicely appointed room in an upscale neighborhood. Hotel staff (Pablo) took ownership of a tiny issue (whether or not […] breakfast was included in the reservation) the next AM, addressing it in a timely and generous fashion. The Concierge went out of his way to assist with requests, while the doorman could not have been more chivalrous. Slept very well in a most comfortable bed in a quiet room. The bath had a hot shower with excellent water pressure and a towel warmer (nice touch). Access to the Tube and bus was just around the corner. Cabs appeared in mere minutes. Within a block was a cozy pub, busy patisserie, a wonderful steak house with great brews and wines, all at reasonable prices. Checkout was handled quickly and professionally. I felt safe and catered to during my stay. Overall, I would highly recommend the NH Harrington Hotel :-D Read more

This hotel is in South Kensington close to Gloucester road station. The rooms are big, comfortable and well maintained. Breakfast is superb. The internet service was not so stable but not a show stopper. One of two lifts was broken for 3 days and was not fixed because it was weekend (some people think it is an excuse to operate hotel with half the lifts […] broken). This created long lines. Otehr tahn taht great experience. Read more

On the positive side, the staff were very polite and helpful. The breakfast buffet, while expensive, was excellent and worth the expense. For our purposes the location of the hotel was perfect being close to transportation, restaurants, banking, and tourist sites. However, our room was a sore disappointment having no heat, a television that did not […] work, a room valuables safe that would not lock, and the electronic door key that required multiple attempts every usage. Overall, I could not recommend this hotel. Read more

We were very pleased with the NH Harrington Hotel. From the friendly reception we got when we arrived, to the surprising spaciousness of the room, and the convenient location, everything was great. Bring your own soap -- the tiny square of orange soap in the bathroom doesn't quite cut it.

It met all the necessities but had no frills. The staff was mostly friendly but no one seems to speak English as a first language which seems strange in the heart of London. The rooms need a little updating but the free wifi was great!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

From the location to the staff, nh harrington hall is exceptional. The weak point is the maintenance of the property but renovation is planned to start soon and this will bring the hotel back to a five! i cannot say enough about the staff's desire to make everything right.

In general a nice hotel in a great location. I cant speak for all rooms, but mine had some minor cosmetic defects. In particular, part of the shade/curtain that comes down (Roman shade with a floral print curtain appearance) was ripped. In addition, the rope used to lower the shade was torn and someone made a knot in it. This enabled the shade to be […] held in the fully open position but when lowered would not come down evenly. The end result was the shade would not fully lower and thus the room was not darkened completly. Also the wallpaper had seen better days. There were small tears here and there as well as a few patches where repairs were done. The furniture (desk and nightstands) were adequate but a little worn around the edges. This was room 607 if management reads this (and cares). The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again. Read more

Spectacular location for walking central London. Parks, museums, and tube lines within easy walking distance.

Well located hotel, near an underground train station, parks, restaurants and museums...

Our stay here was great. The hotel is very well maintained, very nicely arranged, cute furniture and curtains makes you feel you're in London :) The bathroom looked like it was remodeled not so long ago. The staff was really friendly, I had forgotten hair conditioner and a plug adapter, and they brought me those to the room when I asked. The room was […] very clean and spacious. We had internet for free too, it was just for one device though, we had to ask the receptionist for a code every day that lasted 24 hours, as we were on vacation, not much need for internet, this was totally fine for us. The only thing I would comment about our room is that we could hear the steps of people on the floor above us, this didn't bother us too much, but kind of surprised us. Bed was comfortable and we really enjoyed the stay. The neighbourhood is also very good, just a couple of blocks from Gloucester Road tube station and lots of places to eat around there. Read more

We are a gay couple and when we invited the room we explicitly asked for a double bed. When we arrived we got a room with 2 beds. Upon our request we got another room. To our surprise it had one (large) single bed - what the staff called a "queen" bed . They told us that we could "upgrade" into a double bed room for 15& a night. The room was obviously […] a single room. When we compared it to other rooms in the same floor (there was a fire escape map in the room) one could see that it was the smallest room, it had just on one side a night lamp etc. We stayed in this area of london several times before and there are much nicer hotels in this area.

Friendly staff, great neighborhood and location right on the Picadilly Line. Beds were a bit hard for my taste, but we were tired from sightseeing and slept fine in spite of that.

Having never been to London, I booked this hotel online by looking at it's location and the room pictures. When we arrived, I was quite pleased by the fact it was only a twenty minute ride from Heathrow. Of course we arrived to early for check in but they were very accommodating and kept our luggage until our room was ready so we could do a little exploring. […] We found this hotel is in a very desirable location, close to pubs, restaurants and most importantly, the underground.( A tour bus office is by the underground station). The staff is comprised of people who are ready and willing to answer questions, wish you a good morning and welcome you back when you return at night. The maids were just as nice.One unique feature of the hotel is doorbells at every room. Your maid will ring first before opening your door. What a wonderful idea, I decided. The bell woke us one morning (9:00am) I arose, and by the time I got to the door, she had entered but was backing out as she saw I was not dressed or awake. We had three people in our room, two twin beds and a double. My daughter and i took the twins and gave my husband the double. All were comfortable and the temperature in the hotel pleasant and comfortable. I recommend this place to everyone. The Italian and French Wimbledon players were staying there with us. That should tell you it's very nice. They had a taxi waiting for us on our departure day. The driver gave us a scenic drive to the airport to take a last look at London. Read more

This was an excellent hotel that was a five minute walk from the Gloucester tube station - a direct ride from Heathrow on the Piccadilly line. The rooms are generous by London standards and the neighborhood has great restaurants, pubs and bistros in walking distance from the hotel. The staff was very friendly and attentive. And the free computer access […] in the business center a plus. You will not be disappointed with you stay at this hotel. Read more

This hotel was good value at a good location in London. It's only a two minute walk from the Gloucester Road tube station (on three lines) and is in the heart of Kensington, a stylish part of London. The rooms were spacious by London standards and the breakfast was good. Otherwise, it was quite average.

Everyone went our of his or her way to make our stay first-rate. Extremely helpful concierge. Desk staff was very efficient. Housekeeping was prompt to answer requests. Breakfast buffet delicious and waitstaff pleasant and attentive. Close to tube, grocery, and restaurants. No problems here at all, and we will definitely stay again.

We spent a 3 day weekend in London at this hotel after knocking about the country side for a week. We dropped off our luggage while we had a car and then later used our Tube passes. We found the location very convenient. London is not a cheap city and rooms are normally compact. Our room wasn't, it had a king bed and good closet space & desk. However, […] I've never been in a 4 Star hotel that had no bedside lamps to read, and the finish on the bedside tables was worn off and one drawer would not stay closed and with the sloping floor, kept opening. Also, there was a master light that turned off all room lighting, including the bathroom. It made it impossible to turn on the light in the bathroom at night! It was rainy, but not really cold but we couldn't get the heater to stop. To make matters worse, even though we had 4 or 5 windows in our long narrow room. All were sealed shut and would not open. We complained after the first night, but the desk staff did not understand. I mean, all the staff spoke English, but as a second language. I said that the duvet on the bed was too warm for the season, and wanted housekeeping to put sheets and blanket on the bed. What I got was another blanket for the duvet. Finally, a manager got someone to unlock the windows with a special tool. I never got the duvet issue settled. Again, another communication issue was with our early wake-up call on our last morning of departure --. They forgot.. Read more

Visiting London, needed safe location and ease to visiting the London sites. NH Harrington Hall was perfect for our trip and Yes, I would stay here again. Located in South Kensington and two blocks from Gloucester metro stop on the yellow circle line. The community was nice and one block from several dry clean shops. Numerous restaurants in many price […] ranges for getting any desired meal and easy walk to Albert Victoria Museum. The concierge was most helpful for theater tickets, and the hotel offered convenient use of the computer in their business room. Clean workout room and seemed used very little. Our room was clean, not large but roomy enough and the bathroom was most acceptable. The hotel staff was kind, professional and attentive. I new nothing of this hotel so it was a gamble and I am most pleased with the outcome. This location also made it very easy getting on the metro (Piccadilly line) to Heathrow airport. Read more

Very good hotel in a great location near the underground station. We needed a room with three beds and what we received suited us very well. Some of the finishes (e.g., wallpaper, carpet) were not in the best shape, but their condition was acceptable and the price was good.

The location could not be better, a block from the underground and close to nice restaurants and important museums. The biggest drawback was the lack of free wifi -- and though it was available in the lobby, a very weak signal. Starbucks across the street had a better signal. Not good for a hotel that caters to business travelers, or anybody else in […] the modern era. Breakfast was super expensive, but no more so than at other hotels in London. Though it was getting to be warm in March, the air conditioning was off, which meant opening the windows to the noisy street to make the rooms even slightly bearable. The showers were extremely narrow and lacked rubber safety maps -- probably dangerous for some people with arthritis issues. Still, it was a pleasant place to be. We might return if we couldn't find a suitable place nearby. And we assume they can't let the wifi problem go on forever. Read more

Generously sized rooms (more like American standards than most European hotels), very helpful staff, rooms decorated very nicely; only inconvenience was lack of free wi-fi. Neighborhood is very safe and lovely with lots of dining options as well as Tube connection within a block walk. Would definitely stay there again.

This medium size hotel is in a nice location with friendly and helpful staff. Would not hesitate to return or recommend to others.

I travel quite frequently and have never experienced service as at the NH Harrington! Outstanding! I will return next year without question. The beds were not comfortable at all, and room was small for our three adult travelers, but everything else made up for it. Terrific and can't wait to return!

Great location for Central London, willing staff, nice blend of old and new.

So very close to an underground stop, and surrounded by restaurants - this is a great place to stay on a budget.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

NH Harrington Hall, admittedly not a catchy name, makes up for it by delivering all one could ask in a London hotel, without taking a full two steps up to a luxury property. It will meet the need of any traveler who hasn't the need to impress anyone, or to congratulate himself. The public spaces are large and clean, as are the rooms and the bathrooms. […] The service is willing, courteous, and friendly. The hotel is quiet. There are half a dozen very acceptable restaurants of different types within 150 meters of the door. The Gloucester Road Picadilly Line Station is no further. It's a ten minutes' walk to Knightsbridge, along Brompton Road, and an equal distance to Chelsea. This hotel offers one of the best price/value ratios in London. Read more

Hotel was a very short walk from the Piccadilly train line which made it very easy to get around London. The Piccadilly line goes to Heathrow as well as the St Pancras train station where you catch the chunnel trains. Our room was quite large, sized like a normal US hotel! Bed was a touch uncomfortable but certainly not bad. Wi-fi available at an addl […] price however you get 1/2 hour free in the lobby. The internet service was slow though. Surrounding neighborhood was very safe with a number of restaurants and a great coffee shop very close by. The staff went out of their way to be friendly, I think our room was an upgrade. We were able to store our luggage on the last day prior to our departure as well. The hotel has an "authentic" english feel, older on the outside, some character on the inside, not a modern re-hab. We were very happy with our choice and would certainly use this hotel again. Read more
