Very good stay in the nicest part of London - Kensington gardens
Pros:

The location is great, hotel is on refurbishment process, but we were aware of this. In the morning the works started at 8, so it was decent. The refurbished rooms looks nice and are confortable

Cons:

We stayed at the Central Park Hotel in London (June 27–30), which we booked through Booking.com.
Unfortunately, the first two nights of our stay were seriously ruined by numerous problems.

On the first night, we were given a room where the air conditioning wasn’t working, even though it was extremely hot because the towel warmer in the bathroom hadn’t been turned off. The room also had no window, and the only solution offered was to sleep with the door open, which made us feel unsafe as two women traveling together.

The next day, we were moved to another room, where we found several cockroaches. We immediately reported the problem and were then upgraded to a third room, which was clean and satisfactory. We appreciated the staff’s kindness and efforts throughout our stay.

After our stay, the hotel acknowledged the issues with the air conditioning and the pests but refused to grant us a refund, offering only a discount on a future stay—which is of no interest to us. Despite several follow-up emails, the hotel stopped responding.

We asked Booking.com to review our case and help us obtain a fair partial refund for at least one night’s stay (still no response).

Avoid this hotel
Pros:

The location central next to good subway stops

Cons:

There were mushrooms growing from the floors and sideboards and the staff were unconcerned when this was pointed out. Tried to charge us £60 to upgrade to a "superior double room" which while it was mushroom free was smaller had mildew on the windows, grime around the base of the toilet and brown liquid in the fridge. Left after one night to stay with family not worth the £340 for 2 nights

Under oppussing, dårlige forhold pga det
Pros:

Det jeg opplevde som positivt var beliggenhet og oppbevaring av kofferter.

Cons:

Det første som slo meg, var at hotellet ønsket å ta ekstra betalt dersom vi ønsket tidlig innsjekk, selv om rommet skulle være klart. Det sto også at oppbevaring av opptil to kofferter kostet 5 pund. Dette ble riktignok aldri krevd inn eller nevnt da vi var der, men jeg synes likevel det er uvanlig at et hotell tar betalt for så grunnleggende service.

Da vi ankom, oppdaget vi også at hotellet var under oppussing. Dette var vi ikke informert om på forhånd.

Vi fikk tildelt to rom i kjelleren, og det var en stor skuffelse. Rommene var svært små, uten vinduer, og det luktet kraftig av fukt og mugg. Bildene og beskrivelsen på Booking ga på ingen måte inntrykk av at et standardrom kunne være som dette. Etter min mening var dette langt unna det som kan kalles et standardrom.

Vi klaget, og fikk beskjed om at vi kunne oppgradere rommene for 400 pund. Før vi tok en beslutning, ba vi om å få se de nye rommene. Vi fikk et nøkkelkort og ble sendt opp til 2. etasje, men kortet virket ikke. Da vi gikk tilbake til resepsjonen, beklaget de og fulgte oss opp. Da vi åpnet døren, viste det seg at rommet var fullt av eiendeler og tydeligvis allerede i bruk. De beklaget igjen og viste oss et annet rom.

De nye rommene var fortsatt små, men de var rene, hadde vindu og luktet heldigvis ikke mugg. Hotellet kunne ikke tilby noen rabatt på oppgraderingen, så vi endte med å betale totalt 1 700 pund for fem netter.

Oppholdet ble dessverre også preget av oppussingsarbeidet. Vi våknet nesten hver morgen av boring i murveggene. I tillegg var det kun én liten heis i drift. Dette skapte store problemer, spesielt med kofferter, da heisen ofte var full og passerte oss flere ganger før vi kom med. Etter at vi fikk rom i 5. og 6. etasje, ble det derfor mange turer i trappene.

Jeg vil understreke at de ansatte gjorde sitt beste og var høflige og hjelpsomme gjennom hele oppholdet. Kritikken min retter seg ikke mot dem, men mot hotellets håndtering og informasjon i forkant.

Niet al te veel van verwachten, het is schoon en de locatie is ideaal. Dichtbij de metro.
Pros:

De locatie en de kamer was nieuw ingericht.

Cons:

Geen uitzicht. Er stonden steigers voor het raam vanwege de werkzaamheden. Hele kleine kamers.

Pros:

The room was small but enough for the two of us. The decor was lovely and I liked that they had a window that could open. The location was great.

Cons:

The water in the shower was a standard warm temp. It never got nice and hot. They didn’t have a fitted sheet only a flat sheet so it moved a lot while sleeping. There was no telephone in the room to call reception if you had a question so each time you had to go downstairs.

It’s clean, modern, cheap, easy accessible to London. Returning customer.
Pros:

Location is good, right next to an underground so easy access to get around, opposite Hyde park, there’s a Main Street one over with food and drink options.
