The accommodation was in a perfect location for London Excel with excellent public transportation getting there. My room was comfortable and quiet. The only 2 main problems were in the bathroom. The bathroom sink wouldn’t drain which was a bit gross. The shower head was impossible to tilt down therefore the water shot out horizontally, this was awkward.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the condition of the executive room I was assigned during my recent stay at your hotel. I had high expectations based on the price and the room type I booked, but unfortunately, my experience was far below these expectations. Upon arrival, I immediately noticed that the room had not been properly cleaned. The bed was untidy, and the carpet was visibly dirty. The mirrors were smeared and had clearly not been cleaned. Most concerning were the pillowcases, which had visible red/brown stains on them — an unacceptable condition. Additionally, the air conditioning in the room was not functioning properly. Despite having the AC running for over five hours straight, the room remained uncomfortably hot, making it difficult to relax or sleep. This, combined with the other cleanliness issues, made my stay much less pleasant than anticipated. I had specifically booked an executive room, expecting a certain level of comfort and quality, including a nice view and a balcony. However, there was no balcony, and the view from the room was disappointing, which further detracted from my experience. Given the poor state of the room, the non-functioning AC, and the discrepancies between what was promised and what was delivered, I feel that the standards of cleanliness and service were far below what should be expected from a hotel of your reputation. I kindly request that you address this matter , whether through a partial refund, compensation.

A well serviced hotel. our room was spacious and well equipped with everything one needs. However the room was too hot and the air condition wasn't working. It had a car park attached but the parking fee was to high (£25).

Hotel smelled lovely. Most of the people working reception was kind and helpful... Unfortunately I had to ask twice for my shower to be looked at because it did not drain well most of my stay. Found discarded plastic under the sofa bed. Our room had no drinking water, shower caps or even footwear like the other rooms. I loved the location but there can be improvements in service.

Perfect stay
From the start to finish can’t fault anything. We arrived earlier than check in but was able to leave our bags and explore London before coming back. Slept like a log and the breakfast was amazing. Will definitely be returning here again very soon. Highly recommended, friendly and very accommodating staff. Thank you
