Solo stay in central London for work

I had a good stay at this hotel. Bed was very comfortable and had a warm welcome at reception. The toilet and shower are shared but no queue in the morning. Clean room with little noise. Shop around the corner and near transport. Good choice for those looking to stay in central London on a budget.

6/10 Good

Staff friendly and helpful but ruined by the lady that checked me in who was distinctly rude and unhelpful. Property clean and well maintained but terrible ordour in bathroom (self contained0. Had to leave window open in winter and repeatedly spray with body spray when going in. need strong air freshner but better solve the issue causing the strong sewer smell.

Very clean, staff is friendly and helpful, breakfast was feeling and tasty, but the best part is an evening tea with fireplace going . Fireplace room is cosy, with board games, relaxing atmosphere. My youngest son learned how to play chess ( or at least got a taste) . Tea was delicious. Location of the hotel is an extra plus too.

Bien pour un court séour

Bon séjour à cet hôtel. Proche des transports en commun, le centre est facilement accessible. Très calme autour de notre chambre. Un hôtel très chaleureux et cosy. Idéal pour un séjour de 3/4 nuits, pas plus, je pense. La literie n'était pas vraiment bien, lit très mou, usé. Bémol : un petit déjeune très pauvre... pas de fruits. seulement du fromage, pain de mie, confiture, nutella, oeuf dur et jus d'orange. Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas d'ascenseur si votre chambre est au dernier étage.

Lokation var god og hotellet fremstod rent. Personalet var venligt. Vi valgte hotellet pga den ros morgenmaden havde fået, og da vi rejste med tre børn, var dette et meget vigtigt parameter. Morgenmaden var kedelig og bestod af toast, discount nutella og marmelade og ost og kedelige morgenprodukter. Absolut ikke noget børn bliver mætte af. Vi fik værelse uden bad og toilet. Værelset var småt og bestod af senge og af vaskekumme - intet andet derudover. Hotellet var absolut ikke pengene værd.

Struttura tipica londinese con moquette presenti in varie aree. Metro (verde e blu) a 15/17 minuti di cammino mentre presenza di bus nelle vicinanze. Prezzi decisamente moderati per la zona e per Londra ma bagni -seppur puliti- decisamente piccoli con difficoltà a volte di movimento e gestione dello spazio. Camera a uso singolo grande con letto abbastanza comodo. Colazione ok per affrontare la giornata (pane, marmellate, latte, cereali, tea, caffe, formaggio e uova) . Nel complesso soggiorno gradevole, stanze e luoghi comuni puliti ma con un punto interrogativo sui bagni in comune.

Hotel recomendable

Hotel bien situado en la zona 2, a diez minutos andando de la linea central de metro sheperd bush con lo que llegas fácilmente a cualquier punto de la ciidad. Nos alojamos en habitacion doble con baño compartido. La habitación pequeña una cama sin mas pero muy cómoda para dormir que es lo que haciamos alli suficiente. Los baños pequeños y siempre lompios y nunca tuvimos que esperar. En cuanto al desayuno sin lujos y sin una variedad enorme pero correcto y suficiente.

a decent place to stay in London

A decent place to stay in London, room seemed a little cramped for four people, bathroom was very small, staff was nice, basic breakfast, no iron available
Guido, 2-night trip

Appena rientrata da Londra! La struttura è si certo datata ma forse è questa la sua caratteristica migliore! Noi avevamo una stanza quadrupla con bagno in camera. La camera spaziosa, con diverse prese. Il bagno piccolo ma con tutto l’essenziale. Cambio degli asciugamani giornaliero. Colazione ottima. Il personale davvero molto gentile e disponibile fino all’ultimo minuto. I servizi di trasporto di Londra, poi sono eccezionali. Quindi, anche se la metro dista 15 minuti a piedi è facilmente raggiungibile con poche fermate di autobus e molti luoghi d’interesse sono raggiungibili direttamente con l’autobus. Quindi che dire: hotel grazioso e molto ben gestito e Londra meravigliosa!

10/10 Exceptional

Wir hatten ein 4-Bett-Zimmer zum Hinterhof, insofern war es sehr ruhig. Das Zimmer ist schon recht klein, bei vier Personen auch nur 2 "Sessel" und ein kleines Tischchen. Jedoch dafür im Erdgeschoss eine schöne kleine Lodge mit offenem Kamin, bei dem auch eingeheizt wurde. Alles war sehr sauber. Das Frühstück wie auch das Zimmer war für den Preis i. O. Sehr nettes Personal. Sehr gut empfand ich die vielen Buslinien in unmittelbarer Nähe und in nicht allzuweiter Ferne auch die Underground-Stationen. In die Stadt kommt man relativ schnell über die etwas 200 m entfernte Station Kensington Olympia (Overground/Umsteigen Shepard's Bush in die Undergroundbahn/nochmals später umsteigen in eine Underground-Bahn, je nachdem wohin man will). (Aber auch über St. Barnabas Church mit dem Bus zur Underground Kensington High Street) Alles in allem würde ich wieder hier absteigen.

Det er et okay sted. Det er gammelt og værelset vi boede på bar ikke præg af meget charme. Vi var der ikke meget så det var fint. Morgenmaden er meget sparsomt og ensformig.

By far the worst hotel I’ve stayed at in London

I stayed in many different hotels over a 20 week period in London (for a work project). This has by far been the worst stay. Firstly, I arrived and there was no one at reception, I rang the bell many times and no one came for over 5 minutes. When the woman did arrive she was rude and demanding of many types of ID and even my home address? I asked why all the information was needed and she couldn’t tell me why, but wouldn’t let me stay unless I gave all of it. Next, I asked for an iron and ironing board and was told (very rudely by the curly haired woman) that they’re ‘not allowed in the hotel’(?!?). What hotel doesn’t allow irons and ironing boards? They shouldn’t be allowed to take business bookings if this is true. I have stayed at this hotel one time previously in their annex building, where there was an iron so it’s all very confusing. The room was disgustingly dirty and stank of sewage throughout my stay. Doors are very loud and bang when closed so I was woken up every night around 4/5am by doors being banged and people (sounded like staff) speaking loudly. Avoid if you can, plenty of better options available throughout London.

Behagelig hotell, for opplevelser i byen. ☺️👍

Vi besøker byen, for å oppleve masse. Hotell ikke viktig, bare vil sove i god seng. Frokost ok. Forventer ikke mye. Spiser frokost andre steder, når det passer i plan. Relativt sentralt til overground Olympia, til Sheperds Bush. Rolig strøk å bo i. Bodde på rom mot bakside av hotell. Ingen støy fra trafikk. Tror kanskje rom mot gate, opplever mer støy, men bedre utsikt... 5 dager i London, veldig fornøyd med opphold 😃👍
