Kennet & Avon Canal Trail Luxury Vacations

Good, comfortable and clean room. Friendly staff, and a decent breakfast. Could not fault it!

Great staff, great location

I have just had yet another spectacular stay at the Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences. I was welcomed back with the usual genuine warmth that I have come to expect from this wonderful place. As ever the service was impeccable and the accommodation out of this world, particularly as I was given the most amazing upgrade to the most luxurious suite I have ever stayed in. Thank you to everyone at the Taj for another world class stay. I would not wish to stay anywhere else when I have occasion to visit London.

Without doubt the best check in I have experienced, flawless.

Attention to detail. Modern amenities, centrally located. Wonderful food and excellent staff. Will come back!

This property is close to Paddington Station and is how we arrived in London. We arrived early and the staff was willing to hold our luggage for us. Incidentally, Expedia says to call ahead or contact the property. There’s no need for that. The property is prepared for you as long as you book through Expedia. The room was small, directly above the ground floor pub. A couple of nights were noisy for a while, but the pub closes at midnight so it wasn’t really an issue. Our room was small but clean. The restroom was really small but adequate. I couldn’t figure out the thermostat and couldn’t cool the room enough even though it is air conditioned. The bathroom got pretty warm because of poor ventilation. That was the biggest negative. The breakfast provided was what I would classify as light with the only warm option as toast, tea, and coffee. Still, it was fine and it was enough to start the day. The staff was always pleasant and welcoming. There is a bus stop near the hotel. It was convenient and we used that method of transportation often. The Edgeware Street Station is about an 8-minute walk down the road and we used that tube stop quite a bit. The neighborhood is a near a working-class commercial area and safe enough for us—we experienced no issues. This was a good value. It’s not fancy or big but I’d go there again. Not with kids, though. Just me and my wife.

Lovely property undergoing renovations that were not intrusive. Staff was very attentive and the food was fresh and excellently prepared

Great location and staff. Breakfast each morning was fantastic. Rooms were spotlessly cleaned each day. We look forward to returning and visiting other RIU locations.

Clean room, good amenities, nice to have the “free” goodies in the room. Staff very courteous and helpful. Made us coffee during check in process.

Lots of room, safe, and close enough to walk to Hyde park, Buckingham palace, West End and other attractions.

Without doubt the best check in I have experienced, flawless.
