The good news (or bad news) is that literally on your doorstep are some serious drinking joints that will keep you going until 2-3am every night. If you're under 25 you'll love it. If you're not, you probably won't.
The hotel also overlooks a very busy road.
On the plus side, it is brand new - I only saw it for the first time when I was up in Hoxton a couple of Sundays ago.

You are coming a long way ... do you really want to be right out in the sticks to save a few $$, which you will probably end up spending on transport costs? , and lose a load of trime travelling to the bits you really want to see.
Oh, and thanks Jenbel for explaining what a Rachel Stevens is

hi - the hi bloomsbury has the 2for 1 deal so i would get 3 nights (double exec room) for 267 pounds -- the hi kensington forum has the same deal for the king exec room for 282 pounds -- seems to be a good deal saving over 50 pounds over the best rate
which one should i go for knowing that after this stay i will need to go back to heathrow and will be coming from luton probably on the inward piece.
thank you
(edit - forget it - the reviews on trip advisor look pretty dismal for the bloomsbury even though it just got an ugprade -- looks like the kensington will be the place)...

The Kensington Forum is a big sort of faceless hotel, taken over by HI in the last couple of years. It's in a good location, convenient to just about everything.
I've stayed several times at HI Mayfair, what kind of price are they listing? I love this area, just a block from the Ritz on Picadilly, and a nice hotel with v. good air-conditioning.
