Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located for transportation, but the rooms are inadequate and noisy. The service struggled with workload. The dining options were good but overpriced.
The hotel's rooms were clean and comfortable with ample tea service, but in need of updates and better cleanliness under the beds. Unfortunately, the recent visit was marred by a broken shower and a TV stuck with subtitles, which was quite annoying. The view from the room was dark and overlooked the swimming pool.
The hotel had spacious rooms, but I found the swimming pool area too noisy for my liking and noticed plumbing issues with drainage. The service was friendly and helpful, although not all staff members were consistently accommodating. The location was convenient near transportation options, but the surrounding area lacked facilities. Dining offered good food but was a bit stingy on portions. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives to consider.
I had a great view from my room, but unfortunately, it was not soundproof and the temperature could have been more comfortable. Despite these drawbacks, I would still recommend this hotel for its convenient location near Wembley and the train station, making it ideal for visiting friends in this part of London. However, the surroundings are quite noisy with hot food takeaways. The room had some issues with the water temperature and exposed wires in the bathroom, which were concerning.
The hotel's location is a bit troublesome, being busy day and night, but it's central to London and is in north London. It's a bit quiet at night but may feel a bit dangerous after midnight. The service encountered some problems, with staff often rushing due to a lack of backup at reception. The dining area is open until 11 on Sundays and offers Indian dishes, but there are some maintenance issues. The rooms on the bottom floor lacked WiFi, air circulation, and had poor lighting, but the staff kindly intervened to find a better room. The lobby allows guests to sit around in the evenings.
The hotel is situated in a busy area with a mixture of Arabic stores and convenient bus stop access, making it good for exploring London. The rooms, though a bit tired compared to other floors, offer a comfortable stay with no major complaints. The service, while friendly and helpful, could benefit from more staff during peak times. The dining experience extends till late, but some food items dry out quickly. Overall, the hotel provides a decent value for the money.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and reasonably sized for this price point in London, but the constant humming of the motor from the pool beside the basement room was a significant downside. The staff, despite their friendliness, faced issues like refusing my credit card, which was frustrating. On the bright side, the location was excellent for accessing central London, with convenient access to public transport and local amenities.
My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The rooms were extremely spacious, very clean, and surprisingly quiet, which was a huge plus. However, I noticed they gave up the carpet, which was a bit of a downside.
The hotel has a strong disinfectant smell in the rooms and lacks natural light. However, the location offers a variety of dining options. The service had some issues but the communication was commendable.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious but had issues with the air conditioning. While the price seemed high for a basic room, it was undeniably large. Breakfast, especially when we all wanted poached eggs, was a bit of a challenge.
The hotel had spacious rooms at a reasonable price, but unfortunately, the lack of insulation made it uncomfortable due to cold temperatures all night. The location, although offering supermarket access, was not the safest area to walk around after dark. The dining experience had its ups and downs with good food but some pricing discrepancies. The service was trying to address issues but fell short in some aspects.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms weren't as clean as expected but were comfy and the staff was lovely. However, only having two guests per room over a four-day stay was a plus. The service was top-notch, especially from Dennis or Daniel, who was really nice and efficient. The location was convenient for exploring central London and Warner Bros Studios, but it didn't look great from the outside. The dining experience was average, with lukewarm food at times, and the value for money didn't quite hit the mark. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel is located in a convenient spot for exploring the city, with options for public transport nearby. The rooms are in need of refurbishment and may not offer the best sleep quality due to temperature issues. The dining experience is mixed, with classic dishes exceeding expectations but breakfast leaving something to be desired. Service can be slow during check-in and check-out, and the area around the hotel is not the most upscale, but can serve as a suitable base for city explorations.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the shower didn't work, and the TV had annoying subtitles stuck on. The lack of natural light due to the absence of an outside window was disappointing, and the decor felt outdated and in need of modernization.
The hotel offers spacious rooms, but some are lacking natural light and have unconventional bed arrangements. The service is friendly and efficient. The location is convenient for accessing London but not ideal for some. The dining experience has room for improvement. The facilities are adequate but may need upgrading in some areas.
