Upon arrival was asked for 20 deposit and given the key. Was told our room was downstairs which had threadbare carpet and not proper sized stairs. There were no signs showing where rooms are. Upon entering the room the room was cold unhoovered and looked awful and not suitable for 2 guests. The TV did not work and the bed was very uncomfortable with a sheet and blanket continental breakfast was disgusting and dirty cutlery was provided. I would not recommend this place to anyone and would not stay again

nice location but.......

The room was extremely small though the bathroom was OK And breakfast OK but basic. No lift. I was offered a room on The 4th floor but a lot of climbing so declined. Staff generally Friendly. Being a Bank Holiday weekend they were very busy So couldn't offer me another room lower. Breakfast was only Until 09.15 so a lie in not possible.

mediocre experience

Hotel was a distance from the underground station and there was no elevator. I stayed on the top floor and going up and down with shopping or my luggage was quite an ordeal. Toilet was in bad condition and the room had no central heater. It had an electric radiator that you could turn on whilst in the room that made the atmosphere very dry. I didn't try the breakfast as it started too late (after 7.30 am) and you had to sign up for a 'time slot' in advance.

Last minute booking

It was difficult booking a triple room so as a last resort we took this hotel as it was in a good location. Found dark hair on ' clean' bedding. The hotel was having a vermin issue with a neighbouring hostel, yes we had a furry visitor in our room, made a complaint was offered another room but family would be separated. Breakfast was very basic, not worth getting up for.We were not offered any help with heavy luggage, no lift in hotel.

Very rude Manager

For the money it was OK! The room we had was very small (very) but was told it was a larger room, possibly as it had a single bed squeesed in as well as a double. The double was up a flight of stairs with no standing room, you could just about sit up in bed so the ceiling was very oppressive. Not even sure if thats allowed. Any way it was just just a night. but it does seem as though the owners are filling every space possible. When I got home I found the room key in my pocket so being a good citizen I rang to say I would send it back immediately. The response I received was unbelievable, the "manager" I spoke to was very rude and insisted I would pay for the room for another 2 nights. I of course told him my telephone call was to be polite and he could use his spare key for the time being, he then insisted he had no spare, then changed his mind and said it would be inconvenient to keep opening the door all night (the door happens to be next to reception about 4m away) and he insisted he would charge me. If he charged my card which I doubt, he would be breaking the law, so I said I would take him to court. All in all I doubt we would stay there again and I suggest to the management that in a service industry he should be sacked. Many keys are lost and stolen and spares are always on hand (if not then bad management). Hotel OK for 1 night at about £50

visiting friends and sightseeing

first time I'd stayed at this hotel , my single room was very small but adequate as I didn't plan to spend too much time there.hotel has 5 floors and no lift and when I asked I was given a room on the first floor,when I first went into the room the heaters were on full in the bedroom and bathroom and for me the heat was too much but the receptionist was helpful and I was able to turn off the heaters which was fine, a very large window in the room but unable to open it but fine as heaters could be controlled. breakfast adequate for me best to get down early as you might have to wait at busy times, location excellent for 3 tube stations Queensway, Bayswater and Notting Hill Gate.No 390 bus from Bayswater Road to Oxford St, and Euston , a large selection of restaurants of all types in the area and it felt a very safe area to walk alone at night.
