UNOS ESTAFADORES Y UNOS SINVERGUENZAS
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Directamente, son unos ESTAFADORES. Si vais a Londres ni se os ocurra hacer una reserva en este sitio. Lo cogimos porque nos parecía una buena opción calidad/precio/ubicación, además de porque tenía recepción 24h y nuestro vuelo llegaba de madrugada, pero nada que ver con la realidad.

Cuando llegamos, y después de ya haber hecho el check in y pagado una fianza de 50 libras, nos dicen que están teniendo problemas para alojar a los huéspedes por una supuestas “obras” (fantasmas, al parecer, porque allí no había ninguna obra) y que no podían alojarnos (todo esto, por supuesto, sin previo aviso cuando dos días antes de nuestra llegada me escribieron para confirmar nuestra hora de llegada).

El recepcionista nos mandó al Park Hotel (anunciado también en esta plataforma) y dijo que este nuevo alojamiento era propiedad de la cadena hotelera (no sé qué cadena) y que se encontraba tan solo a cuatro minutos andando, pero que nos pide un taxi para llegar. A continuación, nos lleva a esperar a una sala cinco minutos que acabaron siendo más de media hora.

Ante tal tardanza, empezamos a sospechar. Le exigimos al recepcionista que nos dijera exactamente la ubicación del nuevo hotel y aquí viene la sorpresa: estaba a más de media hora andando.

Exigimos un realojamiento inmediato pero se negaron. Ante la imposibilidad de hacer nada, nos subimos al taxi y fuimos al nuevo hotel… y aquí viene la segunda sorpresa. Decir que ese sitio era de película de terror era quedarse corto.

Nuestra “habitación” (por llamarlo de alguna manera) era un bajo a pie de calle con ventanas que no se abrían, un olor a humedad insoportable, bichos, suciedad (había pelos en las toallas “limpias”) y unas instalaciones que se caían a pedazos (por no haber no había ni una triste mesilla).

La cosa no mejoraba tampoco en las zonas comunes, con un olor a podrido y gente andando descalza por las moquetas. Pero es que aquí no queda todo.

It was in a convenient location, quiet, good value for money but check out early, no lift.
Pros:

Quiet place

Cons:

Hot, very minimum ventilation but I don't blame the hotel authority as it was scorching outside. They have given a fan as well but still it was clammy inside the room.

Pessima sistemazione. La sconsiglio a tutti
Pros:

Niente.

Cons:

La posizione pessima in zona sporca e pericolosa.

La stanza non è chiusa con una chiave ma con un pass uguale per tutte le stanze.

Sia di notte che di mattina hanno tentato di entrarmi in camera: paura indescrivibile soprattutto se viaggiate da sole con bambini.

Sono stata minacciata da una delle pulizie perché avevo segnalato per iscritto sul sito di Booking i problemi soprattutto igienici e di sicurezza della sistemazione.

La stanza era sporca, rovinata, con mobili rotti e ammuffiti.

Presenti 3 tazze di cui una sporca con segno di labbra.rosse, un solo piattino e un solo cucchiaino.

Il caldo era insopportabile, non c'è aria condizionata, solo una ventola inutile e sporchissima.

Mi è stato detto che la camera veniva pulita tutti i giorni e lenzuola e asciugamani cambiati ogni giorno, ma noi abbiamo trovato dall'inizio lenzuola e asciugamani sporchi, e la mattina veniva solo messa la coperta sopra senza nemmeno distendere le lenzuola.

Da descrizione dovevano esserci asciugacapelli e telefono: completamente assenti.

La doccia era tappata e l'acqua non andava.giu, nonostante sia stato segnalato non è stato fatto niente.

La porta finestra aveva la chiave ma la serratura era rotta per cui non si chiudeva: molto pericoloso in una zona del genere.

Non c'erano lampade o luci sui comodini solo un'unica luce centrale.

Pareti un po' di un colore un po' di altri, come se fossero state date più mani di pittura quando erano presenti mobili diversi.

È una sistemazione che sconsiglio a tutti, ma soprattutto se siete donne o se viaggiate con bambini: è sporca, indecente ma soprattutto non sicura, e nonostante le segnalazioni giornaliere non avrete risposta ne risoluzione dei problemi da parte dei proprietari e ahimé nemmeno assistenza da parte di Booking.
