For the brand name and the location this hotel was more like a motel than 3/4 star hotel . No proper ventilation , light fixtures were broken , wall paper peeling and no restocking of bathroom amenities. Carpet was even dirty and stained and bleached in spots .

Bad vibes
Wife hated this place. I thought it was fine. So if you’re looking for a good “vibes” place I would avoid. It’s hard to describe but it has the feel of a hotel with a casino (without the actual casino of course)

Affordable price but not a comfortable stay
Stayed at this hotel 30 years ago, sad to see it has deteriorated a lot. Room is tired, furniture and door chipped did not repair. Bathroom is small. Bed not quite comfortable, the springs squeak even with slight movement. Price is quite affordable but will definitely not stay here again.

Stayed here for five nights over Christmas. Grateful to the staff for serving meals on Christmas! The hotel probably needs some updating in the hallways - paint and carpeting - but it’s more tired than in disrepair. Housekeeping was great and breakfast was bountiful. Easy walk to Holland Park and the Shepherd’s Bush Tube. Also walkable to Earl’s Court. Would definitely stay again!

Convenient location and underground parking available. However interior desperately needs refurbishment. Rooms small and cramped, especially the bathroom with a small shower with half screen that resulted in the the floor flooding.
