Bad experience, tiny room/bathroom and thin wallls
Pros:

Location is the only thing that's good about this place

Cons:

The single room was very small and the bathroom was not at all as advertised in the pictures.the shower was barely sufficient for one person to take a shower. There were moths in the room.

I did get a room change which had a better shower but was very noisy as I could hear everything from other rooms, which kept me up all night

I would suggest the single rooms atleast for anyone, it isn't what it looks like.

Acceptable but needs work.
Pros:

Convenient for my meeting, very quiet. On the whole, served the purpose I needed it for.

Cons:

A lot of mould in shower, shower head needed replacing, very dated and no plug sockets within reach of the kettle.

Correcto
Pros:

Muy bien comunicado con el centro vía metro o bus y cerca de tiendas y restaurantes de la calle Queensway. La habitación era correcta. El personal del hotel muy amable.

Cons:

Las cortinas no tapan bien de la luz exterior y entra bastante claridad. Fuimos en la ola de calor de mayo y hacía calor en la habitación, por suerte había un ventilador.

While the location was great the facilities were disappointing
Pros:

Location was great and the bed comfortable

Cons:

We were put on the top floor which was very hot, the bathroom was very small and the shower not fit for purpose. When we arrived there was a dirty pillowcase in the sink, no tea bags, no coffee, no sugar or milk. The breakfast was minimalistic even for a continental and we didn’t bother on day two

Bra läge med bra frukost
Pros:

Bra läge och bra frukost

Cons:

Kort tid på frukost så det blev stressigt och trångt. Lyhört mellan hiss och rum och mellan rummen.

Gute Lage in Bayswater, Zimmer direkt neben dem Lift meiden.
Pros:

Lage in Bayswater gut, Nähe tube station Bayswater. Viele Läden und Restaurants am Queensway.

Cons:

Zimmer (107) direkt neben dem Lift, jede Bewegung des Lifts war hörbar und teilweise sehr laut.
Untertags ist das kein grosses Problem, aber am Abend/Morgen doch sehr störend. Zi 107 und Zi 106 meiden!
Frühstück passabel, zu kleiner Raum wenn viele Gäste zusammen erscheinen.
