Park International Hotel

The hotel is very close to the Gloucester Road (and a short walk from South Kensington) station, which was great. A lot of restaurants around and very close to many sites (museums, Hyde Park). Staff was very responsive to concerns and arrived quickly to solve problems.

The room was incredibly small for 3 people although it was expected that it would be small. It was so small that the hotel couldn't fit a chair in to sit on so we resorted to sitting on the bed. The bathroom had black mold on the ceiling, which wasn't noticeable until you look up. The shower drain was clogged, which management took a day to get to since maintenance leaves after 8pm? There were also ants that were vicious and found any morsel of food left out. Maintenance came to get rid of the ants but they didn't do a very good job and we arrived back to the room to ants. Management knows about the ants and doesn't take much responsibility that they have an ant problem (when we checked in, some lady complained about ants and switched rooms twice to avoid ants on the table).

The staff were nice and friendly, especially at the breakfast dining area, but also at the reception.

Really small room for a couple and felt somewhat claustrophobic.

The location was great - but that's about it really.

The hotel is very dated - the interior run down and beat up. The carpets in the hallway as well as in the hotel rooms are filthy. I did not feel comfortable taking off my shoes in my room. Wouldn't stay here again or recommend it.

Location, Location, Location! You can't beat the price and location. It is a european hotel. Small and not many amenities. If you are merely looking for a place to sleep it is fine. It was fine for our family of four.

Cramped bathroom was really hard for a family. Just updating the carpets in the entire hotel would go a long way! The stained carpets were the biggest turnoff.
