Great location and staff, old dirty hotel

I hate writing a negative review when the employees were doing their best so would like to mention that first. I arrived to London around 11am and was hoping to just store my bags until check-in but was able to check in early. This was unexpected and a nice start to the stay. The room and bathroom were dirty and not very well maintained. Unfortunately the bed was the least comfortable I’ve ever slept on. I typically don’t struggle to fall asleep on a busy vacation but here couldn’t ever seem to get comfortable. I would not stay back here unless I were unable to find anywhere else for an even somewhat comparable price. At the time, there were plenty of other options that might’ve been a bit less convenient location wise. I would recommend going with something like that instead.

I cannot say much positive about this hotel. The location is close to Baywater stations and that is where the positives end. Our room was facing the street and for the first 2 nights, there was a street party happening until 4am. After the second night of very little sleep, we requested a new room. We were told because we weren't packed up and ready to move, that was not possible (this was at 630am and we had an all-day event) The staff said "It should be better tonight". We said that after 2 sleepless nights we weren't willing to risk it. When we returned at 8pm from our day tour, we asked again for a new room. They were able to accommodate, however, the new room was no better. We left the next morning and found a new hotel. They were completely unapologetic. The first room was VERY hot and the A/C seemed to turn off every half every so we would have to get up and turn it on again. The windows were very thin and provide zero sound barrier to any noise. Both rooms looked tidy enough, but the property looked a bit dated. Please save yourself the trouble and DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL.

Location great, but…

A good location, but low standard pillows and bed made for an uncomfortable night. Also ensure you brief your staff that AMEX is not accepted. We went through two tries, declined, for Amex to inform me it was declined at the hotel end. This was not the receptionist’s fault. She was embarrassed.
