    "Thankfully, it was for one night only, and thankfully, we have a sense of humour. On checking out, I was asked if I had paid a " (107251732)

    I can't think of any, offhand.

    1. Being asked to pay at registration. 2. Having my card details including security code visible to others, as others were visible to me.No tea or coffee-making facilities in room. Due to headroom having, as a male, to sit down to pee. Broken hose on hand-held shower. TV aerial cable broken. Window directly above bed had no curtain, so no means of reducing daylight. Insufficient towels - which once we were white, but are no longer.

    Great value for money. Plenty of food- Breakfast good, if a little weird. Proximity to Gloucester Road & Earls Court Pubs & restaurants a bonus. Guy on Reception charming and helpful.

    None to speak of- if ou wanted 5* Quality you'd have to pay 5* prices.

    the size of the room was very good, although not sure why an double ensuite had 7 beds to choose from!!

    I wasn't informed they were renovating and on arrival couldn't get into my room as they were still painting it! i had to come back after an hour!!

It should also informed that the hotel is not very suitable for young children becouse of the noice in the evening, where, I could heard door closing very loudly, drunk people, so much loud music until the very early morning."

    "This hotel has a great staff. They were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very old and has no elevator. If you have a lot of luggage, this is not the place for you. The room was completely filthy, and I don't know if they even changed the cheats in my room because they disgusting, completely unacceptable. Not only were the sheets dirty, the entire room was. The walls are covered in stairs, the window curtains were dusty, also with stains, and the bathroom curtains were also disgustingly filthy. I have NEVER been subjected to such a dirty hotel, and had an awful experience here. I don't think it should be difficult to provide your guests with a clean room, but apparently it is for this hotel." (97186097)

    The staff was friendly.

    The sheets were filthy. The window curtains and shower curtians were the same. Absolutely disgusting. I had to sleep ontop of my towel it a sweat shirt and sweat pants because I was to disgusted to sleep in the bed. I was exhausted and extremely upset to find a filthy bed when I arrived. The light in the hall way, visible from a window above the door, was flickering all night, and I had to keep my room light on to keep from getting a head ache. I had 40 kilos in luggage, and had to haul it up 2 flights of stairs because there is no elevator.

    "The hotel is under constant renovation. (New stair carpeting and paint were done while we were there.) So some parts are lovely and some are not. If you are able to enjoy the nice bits and the wonderful people, and overlook the occasional rough edge or knob askew, you will enjoy your stay as much as we did. And don't forget to talk to the other guests, who each seemed to have an interesting history." (3304360442)

    The staff is extraordinary. We consider the company of John, Alex and Daniel a highlight of our trip. You will be very well fed. Plentiful hot water. The hotel is about a 7-block walk from the Gloucester Road tube station, from which you may go anywhere. (Buy the new Oyster debit card at any station to pay your fares with.)

    There is no lift at present, and the nicer rooms are on the upper floors. In the UK, the first floor is up one flight from the ground. Add a mezzanine level, and my second floor room was three tall flights up, something like 125 stairs. Between that and sightseeing walks, we all have buns of steel. If you are not able to climb stairs, call and make sure that you will have one of the 6 rooms on the basement, ground or mezzanine level. Expect to find many missing or broken bits in the hotel; point them out and they will get fixed. Our stuck radiator and broken box spring were fixed quickly. We let the broken shower bracket alone. I fixed the handle to the fire door and knobs askew in my room myself. Maid service consisted only of making the bed each day. Ask for new linens at the desk if you want them. Though the hotel is generally clean, don't look under the bed.
