Staff in reception were fabulous. Sadly the room was not (had stayed previously and was fine). It was an East facing room so the tube wakes you up and the toilet seat was broken along with the bedside plug.

Good location but an ordinary hotel

I had to wait 30 minutes before I could check-in, they need more staff at reception, this is a very large hotel and very busy. Bathroom suite was outdated for a 4 star hotel. Trains run on the back of the hotel so there is noise from trains passing regularly.

Disappointing

The hotel is very dated. Telephone and TV didn’t work, no waterbottles and no handsoap in the bathroom (handcreme instead of soap)! Went to the reception and the Tv and telephone was fixed quickly. Asked again for water and soap and reception said it was already delivered.. I explained that I had been in the room for the past 2 hours and no one had come. Eventually the housekeeping came with 1 bottle of water, although we were 2 persons in the room. He also said that there was no soap. Apparently the didn’t have any in stock!! We had breakfast in the Club lounge, very basic and the man in charge didn’t understand much English. We were given vouchers for happy hour in the bar. The wine they served for happy hour was a very cheap wine, not even worth the reduced price. We checked out at 12 and needed to store our suitcases since our flight was later that evening. To my surprise they charged £2,50 per bag. The last morning they were drilling close to our room, very disturbing with the noise. I had upgraded our room but felt that it was not worth it at all! The management needs to take a critical look at the way the place is run! I have stayed there a couple of times before, due to the location. This time it was more like Fawlty Tower. Will not stay there again!
