Pros:

Me gustó mucho la ubicación del hotel. Y el personal fue muy atento.

Cons:

La habitación no tiene aire acondicionado, solo un ventilador. La heladera no enfriaba bien. De hecho parecía que calentaba más que enfriar. Vendría bien una renovación de los cubrecamas. El de nuestra habitación estaba manchado. El desayuno nos resultó bastante básico y poco variado. Sería un punto a mejorar.

Güzel bir otel ama eksikleri giderilmeli
Pros:

Merkezi konumu, victorian houses, kahvaltı güzel, çalışanlar güler yüzlü ve yardımsever.

Cons:

Oda küçük, pencere açılmıyor, klima yok, vantilatör sabaha kadar çalıştı ve gürültü yapıyor. Kaliteli uyku uyuyamadım.

Pros:

Gute Lage, schöne, ruhige Gegend,, aber trotzdem sehr verkehrsgünstig.

Cons:

Winziges Doppelzimmer in der Dachgaube, Südseite und ohne Klimaanlage. Bei 28°C Außentemperatur mit nur einem kleinen Tischventilator war das nicht auszuhalten. Doppelbett mit ca. 1,40 m zu schmal, vor allem bei der Hitze. Bad sehr klein, aber sauber mit neuer Duche. Allerdings roch es aus den alten Rohren schlecht.

Bra med tanke på de höga priserna i London.
Pros:

Läget är mycket centralt och mindre än 10 min promenad till tunnelbanan. Frukostbuffén var god och varierad.

Cons:

Mattan i rummet var dammig och smutsig i hörnen och under borden. Kylen funkade inte, badrummet var som en bastu, sängen var hård och sängkläderna var sträva.

Our Bluebells Break
Pros:

The beautiful leafy location, the very comfortable room and the friendliness of the staff.

Cons:

The continental breakfast was perfectly acceptable and plentiful but was a little unimaginative. Would have been improved by less sugary cereals and authentic continental bread.

Für einen Kurztrip zu empfehlen
Pros:

Die Lage war hervorragend. Nicht weit von U-Bahn Notting Hill Gate. Schöne sichere Gegend. Viele Essensmöglichkeiten. Portobello Road ums Eck u Hyde Park 8 min zu Fuß.
Das Hotel ist älter aber sauber. Zimmer und Bad für London wirklich groß. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im "Keller" hier war das Bad renoviert. Matratzen gut. Fenster kann man auf machen hat aber keine Aussicht. Frühstück war ok. Tagsüber gibt es Wasser, O-Saft u Kaffee zur freien Verfügung.

Cons:

Zimmer wurde während unseres 4 tägigen Aufenthalt nicht gereinigt u auch keine Handtücher ausgetauscht (war für uns aber ok) benutze Kaffebecher usw im Zimmer muss man selbst austauschen an der Rezeption. Hier waren dir Mitarbeiter nicht besonders motiviert.
Das Frühstück war sehr einfach und qualitativ nicht besonders hoch, mich hat gestört das nichts gekühlt war und nicht genügend Sitzplätze für alle Gäste zur Verfügung standen.
Man hört Tag u Nacht die U-Bahn fahren...

Good location,great staff
Pros:

The staff

Cons:

The room can receive an upgrade. It was very hot when we arrived, which is unusual for London, but they had 2 fans in the room to cool it down...the room is outdated but clean enough

Vacanza relax
Pros:

Molto bello confortevole estremamente disponibile il personale molto ampia la camera doppia un po' piccola la singola. Il bagno in camera completo e molto pulito. Buona l'insonorizzazione. Posizione spettacolare sia per servizi che metro

Cons:

Peccato per la mancanza di climatizzazione nella stanza singola il ventilatore non stava dietro a rinfrescare mentre nella doppia la temperatura era accettabile
