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.

Lovely staff and it’s a great location on a quiet street!
Pros:

The location and staff were fantastic! The bed was comfortable and it was easy to walk to two different tube stations. The hotel is on a quiet street so it was nice to be away from the city hustle and bustle.

Cons:

I appreciated the upgrade to a higher floor from the basement at check-in, but I caution that the singles are quite small. The bathroom was tiny (like a person larger than 5’2 wouldn’t fit). The room was a bit dusty but the bed was comfortable and luckily there was a fan in the room during the hottest May on record. Overall I would stay again! I just wish there was a mini fridge! With how expensive food is there was no way to save any leftovers.

Pros:

La ubicación es excelente. El personal de recepción muy amable. La habitación y la cama muy cómodas.

Cons:

Esos dos días habían 34°C en Londres y el hotel no cuenta con aire acondicionado, por lo que fue muy caluroso dormir.
