not what I had expected

This is certainly not a hotel, but rather a hostel. Me and two other girl friends were supposed to have a 4-person room but were switched upon arrival to a 6-person room with two strange men. We felt very unsafe and cheated out of what we paid for. The breakfast was terrible and we had to share a bathroom with the entire floor. The bathrooms were outdated, very small, and the showers had zero water pressure. I do not recommend this place.

Not the best

Not a great experience – staff weren't that friendly, a dirty towel lay on the bathroom floor for the entire duration of my stay and not picked up by staff, the bed was propped up with doorstops and wobbled, the tv did not work, the floors creaked AND the 'continental' breakfast is cereal only. Only suitable for overnight stays… and if you don't care about quality.

HORRIBLE!!!!

This hotel sucks! The rooms are smaller than most American bathrooms. The people are rude and unhelpful. The rooms are dirty. We booked a single room with private facilities and they gave us bunk beds and a shared bathroom. The shower was disgusting and didn't work after 3 minutes. The bunk beds were metal so if you farted the whole bed creaked. The front desk personnel did not want to help at all. There was 1 nice guy, but the other 3 were awful. When I ask if I could get a cab, the guy told me to walk down the street and take a left at the tube station instead of calling someone. Location is on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood. Probably 1/4 to 1/2 mile from the tube station, which was great. Overall about 5-10 miles from the center of the city. The main lobby is pretty nice b/c it has wifi and a bar. You can get much better for the price. The London tube connects you everywhere, so proximity to Heathrow or the center of the city doesn't really matter (the location was in between Heathrow and city center was why I booked this hotel).

Budget but not for the faint of heart

A very good deal for a budget hotel in London but no air conditioning and our room was up five flights of stairs, there is not an elevator/lift. Rooms are very small and we did have private bath facilities but most rooms did not. Not far from an "Underground Station" and close to a few restaurants. This part of Kensington is a little "iffy" for my taste. The staff was very helpful in making arrangements for sight seeing and taxi. Overall a good experience but would not go back due to location.

A ne pas recommander

Hotel plutot bien placé mais de gros soucis niveau respect sonore mais aussi sur la qualité des équipements. Les lits ne possèdent pas de latte donc nous avons du mettre les matelas par terre pour dormir car tout couinait dans tout les sens. Pas de sanitaire dans la chambre et sanitaire sale. Bref, rapport qualité prix 0

Séjour décevant

A première vue, le cadre était sympatique, les locaux et le personnel également mais lorsque nous sommes arrivées dans la chambre, nous n'avions qu'une envie en repartir aussi vite. La serpière venait d'être sommairement passée et nous avons trouvé des cheveux sur le sol un peu partout y compris jusque sur le pommeau de douche. Le ménage avait-il été fait? Pas sûr! Les draps blancs étaient jaunis par l'usure, les oreillers d'une teinte jaunâtre immonde. Les rideaux étaient déchirés et extrêmement poussiéreux. Le pire fut l'état des poubelles. Le personnel se contente de changer les sacs sans nettoyer le fond des poubelles. Qu'avons-nous trouvé au fond? Des cheveux collés dans une crasse noire inimaginable et des restes de serviettes hygiéniques. Après avoir rappeler à l'ordre le personnel de nettoyage et leur avoir demander de nettoyer les poubelles, on aurait pu espérer avoir au moins des poubelles correctes. Et bien non, on s'est bien fichu de nous. Des excuses par ci par là mais les poubelles ne furent pas nettoyées, les sacs furent changés, les touffes de cheveux sur le sol enlevées mais le ménage n'a jamais été refait. Le personnel a un énorme poil dans la main et cet hôtel aurait pu être agréable si tous ces détails n'en avaient pas ternis l'aspect. Je pense que des WC dans chaque salle de bain devraient également être installés et non pas que tous les résidents de l'hôtel se partagent les mêmes sanitaires qui pourraient au moins êtrennettoyés convenablement pour améliorer le confort de chacun. Ce séjour a été fort déplaisant, nous ne sommes pas maniaques mais un minimum de propreté devrait être le B.A-ba de tout établissement qui revendique son statut d'hôtel.
