The location was perfect, about a 20 minute walk to Harrods and the major shopping area. The tube station was literally down the block. I didn't spend much time inside, so I didn't get the chance to watch any TV, but why stay in when you have the entire city to explore. Many complaints have been made about the size of the rooms, but I didn't mind it at all. Coming from NY, space is a luxury. The room was small, but I shared the room with a friend and we got along fine. The shower stall was small, again nothing out of the ordinary if you're used to NY standards. The hot water was scalding, but after my European friend showed me how to adjust it, I was in heaven. I love hot showers. The breakfast was included and wasn't anything to get excited about. Simple pastries, granola, beans and toast. If you're looking for a decent, clean hotel on a budget, I would highly recommend the Park International.

The hotel was nice but the room was smaller than we thought it would be. When we got there, the people were very helpful. But everything seems to cost money there (have to pay 1 pounds for each luggage left there after check out since the check out time was 11 AM but our flight was at 4 PM). The bathtub didn't drain well, so we ended up standing in the water raised above our ankle while showering. The toilet took forever to flush. The fridge didn't work. The trouser presser took very long time to take out wrinkles. The bed, though, was comfy. The room was cleaned properly. Breakfast was nice. The location was very good: close to Glouster Road Tube station which let us go everywhere we wanted to go. Restaurant around the area wasn't as good as we thought it would be. I suggest go to Baywater station for food since it's not too far from the hotel.

The location is very nice, personel is friendly, breakfast is OK. Toilets are really horrible, do not really work the way we are all used to. But the worst thing is that they claim they have a fitness center but actually they don't! They just lie in the add to attract more travelers.

I have stayed at this hotel numerous other times. I must say that the beds have improved by about 40% this visit - they used to be like concrete, now they're somewhat softer on my aging bones. The main appeal of this hotel is its close proximity to the tube station. There's a decent pub around the corner, a grocery and a drug store by the tube station, a nearby Americanized restaurant, and I have never felt unsafe walking alone in the neighborhood. Plus it's within easy walking distance of the V&A - a favorite of mine. I would discourage anyone from eating at any of the restaurants directly across Cromwell Road though. They leave a lot to be desired.
