      The Corus was a good value for the money - especially after walking into some of the other private hotels in the area....the room was clean and spacious by European standards. The towels were a little worn as was the carpet and the upholstered furniture - but the bed had crisp linens and the bath was very clean. With little time spent in the room, I would consider staying there again for the price.

    If location is important this should be a great choice for your stay in London. The rooms are large by London standards and generally clean but rooms generally are shabby and showing their age. If you can overlook these issues it's a great base at an excellent price..... Enjoy.

After 2 room cleans and a request to reception for rubbish to be removed, I removed the items myself! However, would stay here again -- mainly due to good location!

    The hotel is a bit dated, but overall was fine for our two night stay. It was plenty warm, which is not always the case in London hotels in winter. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful and mostly friendly, although the check-in process seemed much longer than it should have been. We liked the location a lot, very close to the […] tube, and Kensington High Street, with all the shopping one would need. We were able to buy food and drinks at any number of markets and put in our fridge in the room. My only really complaint was the Internet service was terrible. I put my money in for 20 minutes of Internet, and it took me at least 10 minutes to even get on to my e-mail. If I had needed a lot of Internet while I was there I might have been pretty disappointed. Overall a very nice stay, and we would do it again. Read more

    It was an enjoyable stay. Room size was a just bit small but we managed quite well regardless. There is ame closet space and drawer space to store away clothing. An ironing board is in the closet, hair dryer with tea and coffee amenities. The hotel staff and management I had to ask for a favor was most responsive and helpful. Thank you! The hotel […] is comfortable, well insulated and warm, cleaning staff was excellent. We had no problem early check in and had a memorable stay. The location is accessible to major Tube thoroughfare and an easy jaunt from Heathrow on the express train to hotel with Paddington connection on the Tube. There is a taxi station right there which we had use several times and never had to wait. I will definitely stay there my next trip. Two thumbs up! Read more

    As far as London hotels go, this quirky hotel offers great value for money. The location just off Kensington high st is excellent and rooms are clean with good facilities.

Attended a trade show at Olympia, reasonable walk, good location, hotel was clean and had all the basics. one thing that was particularly helpful was that internet was room based and not device based, so i could use wifi on smartphone, iPad and laptop all for same 10 pound daily rate.

    I liked the staff very much. The common areas are nice. The rooms...Not so much. I stayed twice; my fly in day / overnight - then back after a side trip. My first room was dirty - obviously dirty; like food residue on some of the furniture and their was a hotel phone device sitting on the dresser - Almost like they forgot to finish the room. Anyway, […] I checked the bed; it was clean - I was tired and stayed. I decided that when I returned for my already booked two days later in the week, if I found the same conditions - I would complain. The next room was clean. In general, in both rooms the furniture is getting old - showing much finish removal. Read more

    I have stayed here once before and some of the issues I had with the room before had not been fixed in nearly 10 years. For example, the wiring is aimed downward so if you are bringing nor American adapter plugs you may well find that nothing will plug into the wall because of the direction of the plug. Despite this obviously very common problem, they […] could not find any of their loaner extension strips as they were all out on loan for the full 4 days we stayed nor did their gift shop sell any. May seem petty until you realize you cannot charge your phone, laptop, etc. Furthermore, their Internet access is very expensive and will only allow access to a single device as it is tied to the IP address.

    The property from the outside is in poor shape. The insides are generally better.

    this is part of millinium hotel chain. the location is near a nice subway/metro (less than 10 mins walk) and slight further away is the earl's court subway. there is a very good singaporean restaurant (bugis street) and it is a must to eat there during your stay. over all the service and staff are nice an professional. wifi though is not free (bummer) […] even in public areas. there is a nearby M&S ( mark & spenser) near the metro that has free wifi, good food stall.

    The room was one of the largest we have had in Europe. The furniture and bathroom could be updated, but the room was comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. It was nice have a restaurant and everyone at the hotel was very helpful. I would stay there again. Felt like we got a good deal on the room.

    Lobby and hotel furnishings were updated. Interior of rooms were a bit dated but have seen a lot worse in London. WiFi is pretty expensive. Would stay again at a reasonable rate. Easy walk to tube.

    I thought it was a good location, and the staff was very quick and helpful. The location is right in Kensington, near the High Street Kensington tube stop, and there is plenty of shopping and restaurants in the area. Some people mentioned that they found the train going by their hotel window to be noisy--but honestly, it wasn't noisy to me at all. It […] was an occasional hum here and there, and it really didn't bother me. Check-in and check-out was quick and easy. Read more

    Big chain hotel. Do not expect any London charm, its not there. They offer a breakfast for 10 pounds. Do not do it, go for a five minute walk towards the Tube stop and go to small local restaurants. Way better food and price. Best part of this place is the location. No safes or free Wifi. All must be paid for above the cost of the room.

    Charge for internet access was way high. $25.00 US per day. That’s highway robbery.

    Very good hotel in a lovely neighbour in London. I've been ther for 4 days and found a wonderful hotel. The downside I found would be a very expensive internet rate which did not addecuate as others hotels I've stayed in London
