We stayed here for 2 nights, 29 and 30 December 2004. It was our first experience of booking hotels in the UK using priceline.co.uk, after several successful uses of the site for trips to the US.

I stayed in this hotel for 4 days in Feb 2005 (sorry I forget the exact dates). I agree with Kayess comments - the location was great, especially close to major tube lines and a Starbucks (thus wireless) is right across the street. I also thought the staff was a bit snooty. Also, we had called the hotel and asked for two beds - which they did not give us the first night and said they could not change. The second night they did change us to a new room which was considerably better both in size and decor. Also, don't even think about checking into this hotel early. They will not permit this. They do, however, store your luggage.

Given the location, I would definately stay there again.

The Millennium Gloucester is better situated than the Hilton Olympia or the other hotels on Kensington High Street, right on the corner from the Gloucester road tube and near restaurants, shops and two groceries including a 24 hour Tesco Express.

I got the Millennium Gloucester for stays in June, '05 for bids around $82. I prefer the Holiday Inn Kensington Forum immediately across the street, but that has become a rarity on Priceline. The Millennium is comfortable enough though the d

I agree with Kayess above. We stayed here for $80 the week between Christmas and NY in 2006. The only thing I would add is they checked us in early with NO problems (10:00 a.m.). We had a refurbished room (with a Japanese flair) on the 4th floor (if I remember correctly) and it was nice and bright. There were duvets, not blankets and spreads.

The lobby bar was outrageously expensive, but I guess that is the rule in London.

We had a very pleasant stay here for 5 days. I would stay here again.
