This will be our last time staying. Not happy with our last 2 stays. I thought this time they might changed. But it got worst. Our current room was dirty when we checked in, I tried to book cleaners but no one came that night. We are 3 me my daughter and my son. We only have 1 set of towels. I asked to give us more for 2 person, no one came. The bin plastic was broken. Not properly cleaned. I will never come back again in this hotel. I'm sorry but your standard of cleanlines is out of standard anymore. Location was great but cleanlines getting poorer.

The staff when checking in were very friendly and location was very convenient being close to the tube station. The room however, there was mould in the kettle, which i have a photo of, lots of dust and mould in the vent system, the room got extremely hot and there was no way to cool it down, the walls were extremely thin and you could hear other people in their rooms and hearing the tube each time it went by. Would not stay again

Very near public transportation so could hear the trains but they usually stop at midnight and they never bothered me anyway. Great location near good restaurants, easy to get anywhere. Excellent pricepoint so have already made several referrals! Nice large room, bed was fairly comfortable.

Shocking experience tbh would not stay or recommend. Public areas seem very nice and high end. On check in there was an orderly queue but a guy pushed into the lady in front of us not queueing? When she challenged the receptionist was very rude to her and said “he’s not checking in” what difference that made I don’t know?! My partner observed this receptionist previously been pulled out of back office by a manager and after this she had a dreadful attitude. After a fair wait we finally got to get our room I had done on line check in. I specifically booked an accessible double room and the receptionist was perplexed she didn’t have one. Question having spent years in the industry why wasn’t this pre-allocated? I have periodic mobility issues so wanted a room easy to evacuate if necessary plus the main reason for our stay was I had undergone eye surgery in Harley Street that day. The room was below average when we got there a poorly renovated Travelodge standard M 0031 if it helps and it was freezing. I have under active thyroid so feel the cold terribly never mind what I had been through that day. Lights in the rooms didn’t appear to work in way they should it was all or nothing. We reported heating not working when we left for dinner and the receptionist said she’d send maintenance up. When we returned a few hours later there was a tiny/inadequate storage heater in the room and it was still cold. We both had an uncomfortable, disturbed nights sleep…

Disappointing, staff inattentive and clumsy, cold plates at breakfast which made the the whole experience unenjoyable, will not stay again, desperately needs updating - the decor is straight out of the 1990s.

Large corporate hotel at the cheaper end of the market. Tube trains outside the bedroom window. Cold room, non functioning TV. You get what you pay for I suppose.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel because of its convenient location, and it’s definitely convenient. Our room, (and I can only comment on our room, M07, others may have been better?), was noisy, not because of the train line outside (that was barely noticeable, and trains did not run all night), no, it was the constant low frequency drone from a generator or air on unit outside our window, this combined with the loud buzzing from the mini fridge meant that I got no or very little sleep, what’s the point of a hotel if you can’t get a night’s sleep? The fridge either needs balancing, replacing or removing from the wooden cabinet that it sits in (which acts like a sound box) in the end I switched it off, sadly I couldn’t do the same to the noise machine outside. As for breakfast, I asked for poached eggs and was informed that I would have to pay extra for them, please don’t tell me it’s to keep costs down, as other hotels manage to provide poached eggs on request. To add insult to injury, the fried eggs on the servery were solid and like plastic (Edwina Curry would have been delighted). Additionally, the plates were cold, such that on collecting my hot breakfast and plastic eggs from the servery, it was cold by the time I reached my table. (To be fair, the plates were warmer on the second morning). On collecting toast I asked for side plates only to be directed to the dinner plates. In all I’d describe this hotel as “Mutton done up as Lamb”.
