In real terms, Jurys Inn Chelsea is not in Chelsea, and its location is probably its only downside. However, the upside is the price, and is almost certainly a follow-on factor from the downside. Buses run from the road on which it's situated, however, tube stations are within 10 minutes walk if necessary. The area itself is relatively quiet and feels safe.

The interior of the hotel is clean and modern - it's not going to win awards, but it's a comfortable place to spend a night. The staff are also friendly, and happy to help. I'd happily stay there again, as long as the price sticks.In real terms, Jurys Inn Chelsea is not in Chelsea, and its location is probably its only downside.

This hotel is not outstanding, however it is a good price, clean (if rather well worn) and extremely well situated, especially for Earl's Court. When I stayed I was in a large twin room with views out over roof-tops (not over the garden). It was quiet and perfectly adequate for our needs (cheap hotel near Earl's Court and Olympia).

The staff were friendly and there was plenty for breakfast (even if it did showcase the more stereotypical view of English food). You are right next to Earl's Court so on my upcoming trip to London for a show at Earl's Court I have chosen to stay there again. The price and location are difficult to beat.

The bottom line however is that compared to other cities it is only an adequate hotel. Unfortunately, for London this is already above average for this price point. If you want a more generally central hotel I would rather recommend the Cherry Court Hotel instead, but that has its own draw backs (miniscule rooms, no privacy between room mates).This hotel is not outstanding, however it is a good price, clean (if rather well worn) and extremely well situated, especially for Earl's Court.

The Holiday Inn is one of my favourite chains of hotels. This is due to the simplistic nature of their rooms; their many facilities available at usually each hotel; and their standard room rate.

I particularly enjoy the breakfast they provide at the Plymouth branch of their chain. This is because of the extensive nature of the food provided, the spacious tables and chairs arrangement (not too close to other guests, room to push your chair out a little, etc.) and the beautiful view of Kensington gardens.

However, they do have impersonal customer service, but isn't that what we all expect anyway from such a large business? Surely if we're just traveling for business and are tired most of the time, we don't need some customer service person asking us how we're doing every hour, do we?

I think for the money, chains of hotels like this are brilliant. If you didn't want the corporate feel, you could stay somewhere else and pay less.

I ve been staying here since 20 Aug. The apartment is cosy and spacious. The maid service is satisfactory. Main disadvantage: It does nt have wireless in the apartments. It has ethernet but the hotel does not provide u with a cable and the connection is some times unreliable. Also the plugs are a little bigger than the adaptors and they do not fit. The neighborhood is one of the best and safest in London. The transportation towards the City is very good.
