Summary of the End

The last few weeks haven't been too eventful. I think I have been winding down-almost need a holiday from my holiday-so have been taking it slow. There have been a few places I have visited and stuff that has happened worth mentioning though. So here goes! *Pollocks Toy Museum. Amazing little museum of old toys. Very tiny but if you are in the area it is worth checking out. Have a great toy shop too! *Imperial War Museum Fantastic Museum and a must see! Has an amazing entrance and the centre ...

Avebury Stone Circle Rocks!

Last day of the tour. Headed from Bristol to Avebury-on the way stopping to take a photo of one of the white chalk horses on a hill. This one was only a couple of hundred years old as opposed to being ancient...but was still great to see. There are lots around this area and they all look impressive. Arrived at Avebury. It is one of Britains largest nad most ancient stone circles.The town was actually in one quarter of it and a road went through the middle. But with this stone circle you can w...

Good Old London Town

Could not believe it. Arrived at Vienna Airport early for my morning flight to find my flight had been cancelled!!Quite a few people from the tour were on the same flight so we were all on the same boat. Apparrently there was bad fog in London which is why it got cancelled and the earliest flight they could get us on was at 7:15pm!!!! Ended up spending 10 hours at the airport!!!!! So am very very tired. And was so bloody boring. Ended up doing lots of shopping out of sheer boredom. Naughty Na...

Back in London again!

Today said goodbye ot the last of the group. Had a late start as my flight wasn't until 2pm. Had a walk into the centre of town with Travis (a guy from our tour). It was great to see the city centre as hadn't been right into the centre before. Headed off to the airport with Fran and Travis-nice to have company for once as not a big fan of airports!! Hello again London!

Back in Good Old London Again

Have been here in London for the last couple of weeks chilling out till my next tour which starts on Sunday. Have been taking it easy as the weather hasn't been too great and am worried am going to get burn-out as it has been pretty hectic since I have been over here. Instead of hard-out sight-seeing have been doing a lot of exploring of different areas-which is pretty fun in itself-having a wander and checking out all these places you have heard so much about over the years, from Oxford Stre...

Last day of the tour! :(

Today was the last day of the tour! Left Cardiff and headed to Bath. Bath was great-wish I had more time there! (Yes that seems to be a complaint of mine a lot this tour. Have decided am coming back to the UK next year and do a self-drive trip so can stay as long or short a time as I want in places). Visited the Roman Baths. Very cool. Amazingly preserved and the springs are still flowing! The romans were pretty clever bunch. Though the springs were there long before they arrived and used by ...

London Rocks!

Have been in London since the end of my Europe Tour and it has been a blast. Can be a bit of a drag on your own but was still awesome. Am off on a tour of the UK and Ireland tomorrow (Sunday) so will be back with people. So far this is what I have seen and done in London. -Visited the British Museum-bloody awesome. So many artefacts and many of them from the places in Greece and Turkey etc that I had been to. -Went to the Museum of London. Very small but excellent collection and very well set...

End of The Ultimate Tour

Friday we spent all day on the bus. Everyone was very quiet-kinda sad. I think no one wanted it to end! Many were leaving that night so sucked saying goodbye to everyone. A few people were staying on at the hotel. Saturday spent all day with one of the girls from the tour. Very very tired. Didn't get much sleep the whole tour. Had a great day though. Went to try and see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace but it had been cancelled. Had lunch at a nice Italian place and then checked...

London at Last!

Am finally in the UK!! Just wish I wasn't so jet lagged-was a 24 hour flight from Auckland to London with a fuel stop in LA. Got in after midday on Saturday 14 June. The flight was pretty ok-splurged and went premium economy so would get extra leg room-and it was so worth it!! The stewardess' were lovely and gave me lots of travel tips-and I had a fantastic old guy next to me on the leg from LA to London and we talked the whole time-which didn't help with the jet lag!! Ended up not doing much...

Stretnutie s Hankou

Dnes, tak ako o takomto case minuly rok stretavam v Londyne moju sestru Hanku, ktora je tu uz treti rok a este ju to tu neomrzelo. Presli sme sa po Hyde parku a kecali a kecali. Vecer sme zavolali rodicom, ktori su celi hotovi z toho, ze po dlhom case idu spolu sami na dovolenku a dokonca letecky, takze su celi vyplaseni, lebo ich nema kto sprevadzat. No takze sa neteste, ze ked vyrastietie nebudete sa uz musiet nic ucit. Vtedy to este len zacne!

Historical Traveler Reviews of Ibis Earls Court London

Small and dirty

from A TripAdvisor Member
I was very disappointed with this place. Stayed there in June of 2004. The room wasn't very clean. The location isn't that great. You can find many other places that are the same price range and much better. I will not stay here again.

Ok for the money...

from ichiban
Booked in through Trafalgar Tours, was not impressed after staying in 2 different rooms. No A/C so you sleep (in summer) with windows open to street noise below. Beds are hard and pillows are even harder and flat. Bathrooms were musty-smelling, tiling grout was missing. The continental breakfast was meager. Due to high tour traffic, check-in can be an arduous task. On the plus side, Marta at the front desk was very professional, even when facing an ocean of people checking in. And the walk to the nearest tube was very easy. The neighborhood is not the best, not the worst. There are several shops and pubs nearby where one can get a quick sandwich or a hot meal.

After staying in Ibis hotels in 2 countries (on a tour), I can say that I won't stay again unless I have no other choice.

Really nice hotel, an above average Ibis

from gotkidswilltravel
Ibis Earl's Court was a very nice hotel! My parents, husband, and I stayed there for 5 nights in May 2004. We got an excellent last minute rate on expedia.com. It's the second Ibis I've stayed at, third that I've toured, and it is FAR above the others. Furniture is mahogany, room is average to large, bathroom is marble, everything was spotless, service was really nice. The only negative was an uncomfortable mattress (my parent's said theirs was also a little lumpy), but this might have been resolved had I thought to ask for a room change.

The hotel is very large (12 stories), has multiple elevators, gets lots of tour groups, and has a spacious lobby. A bus stop is directly outside, and it's an easy walk to either the West Brompton underground station (District line, green) or a few minutes futher to Earl's Court station (Piccadilly, blue and District, green line). The surrounding neighborhood was fine, but not exciting or attractive... one or two pubs, two Indian restaurants (the Lily one was great!), two or three bad coffeeshops, a drugstore/convenience store, two barebones Internet cafes. No fun stores or shops. It took about 15-20 minutes to get into central London on the underground.

I would prefer to stay closer to central London on another visit, but would also be very willing to stay at Ibis Earl's Court again. The hotel was extremely professional and pleasant.

Good size rooms but no air conditioning.

from A TripAdvisor Member
I have traveled to London several times in the last few years. The hotel room is a good size for London. The location is close to West Brompton tube station and only a short 5 minute walk. The only thing I feel should be noted about this hotel is that there is no airconditioning in the hotel rooms. Very few hotels in London have air in the room but the reason I write the review is that the hotels website, expedia, and travelocity all state that the hotel does have air. Just a warning for summer visits...

Eeeeh, it's OK. Just OK.

from Naupaka
I stayed there last week and it's pretty convenient to the West Brompton tube stop. You can take breakfast in the hotel, but all the food is mushy and not that tasty--you're better off taking breakfast at the pub down the street, which is tasty and cheap, cooked to order.

The front desk staff was pretty indifferent and were not very good at following the rules of standing in line. I was standing in line forever because one girl was swamped giving change, while the other kept looking over my head and bringing German tourists to the front of the line to help them first, since she was also German. When I finally got my turn, the girl giving change took her break, and the German girl made me wait while she inputted something. It was awful.

The rooms are comfortable and clean.

Would I stay there again? Not unless I needed to be out in Earl's Court.

Worth the money

from rouie
Paragon is marked as a 4* hotel, and stands to that according to the london hotel levels. The rooms are clean, bed, towels etc are changed daily. The continental breakfast is excelent - 5 types of serials, butter and apple pastries, bunns, ham and kashkaval, fresh orange and lemon juice. The staff is friendly and gladly helped us plan a tour by ourselves to the stonhenge. a night at the hotel cost us about 100$ (60 GBP) which is well worth the money in london standarts. the hotel is in zone 2, (west brompton tube station ,district line to wimbeldon) which is quite far from the center (2 hours walk from hyde park) the underground station is quite near - about 2 minutes of walk, and the frequency of the tubes is about every 10 minutes.

Good size for London

from A TripAdvisor Member
We were pleasantly suprised that the room was roomy by London standards. 2 beds , 2 chairs and a little side table, and a desk. Huge windows. We were lucky, we had a room high up and facing the city and had a fantastic view.I agree with another reviewer about the awkward bathtub, it IS a climb to get into it. I was pleased with the breakfast, I don't eat a big breakfast anyway and for me there was plenty to choose from (cereal, danish, fresh bread, stuff like that).

We felt comfortable and safe in the neighborhood on walks to and from the tube, which is nearby. It seems to be a middle income area, mostly residential. I would stay there again if the price is right, but would prefer to be a bit closer to the center of things.

Paragon was a nice place for a start on a honeymoon, Trafalgar

from A TripAdvisor Member
Recievedas part of the Trafalgars tour, we were pleasantly surprized.

This was one of the stays for our honeymoon!

Convenience and Value

from cynic
We stayed at the Paragon in March 2003. We got a great price through a BA vacation package. The hotel was clean, quiet, and pleasant. I don't think it has A/C, but we slept with the windows open and didn't have a problem. It's in a very convenient location by the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre and just two short blocks from the tube. The walk isn't bad at all, even in the rain and we never felt unsafe even after dark. Although to be fair, the neighborhood isn't the greatest and I wasn't by myself. My only real complaint was the bathrooms. Although it was advertised as having rehabbed bathrooms with new marble, not all the rooms had been done at that time. Our bathroom looked old and had some mildew. Also, the shower/tub was like three feet off the ground. I don't know if that is normal in England, but as a short woman, getting in and out of the shower was a pain. I sprained my ankle while I was there and after that it was near impossible to get in and out of the shower without assistance. Oh, and the free breakfast wasn't all that, but maybe I just couldn't get used to the warm water, juice, and milk.

I suspect that's probably more cultural than poor service. Anyway, I would definitely stay there again, but I would make sure to request a refurbished room.

Good, clean accomodations conveniently located

from KP_voyager
I recently stayed at the Paragon Hotel in Earl's Court as part of a British Airways package. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this hotel. The rooms were small (by American standards) but efficient with two double beds. The bath looked newly updated with a nice deep tub, and luxurious marble on the floor and sink. Rooms were very clean and service at the hotel was pleasant and efficient.The hotel is located near the Earl's Court convention center, outside the center of London but conveniently near bus and tube lines. Getting to the center of London generally tooks us 15 minutes or less.My only complaint about this hotel would be the lack of variety offered with the included Continental breakfast. The offerings were generally Danishes, some unappealing cheese and luncheon meat and maybe 3 choice of cereal. Some fresh fruit would have been welcomed.All in all though, the Paragon was a good deal and I would recommend it and stay there again.
