"Great location and value for money "

I read reviews on trip advisor of this hotel which really made me worry about staying here but the staff were very helpful and friendly the room was clean and the breakfast was good so really don`t know what people expect for their money! The hotel was only a ten minute walk from Bayswater station which is on the circle line! So fab location!! Great hotel all round would definitely stay again.

We had one of the old rooms, which wasn`t what we expected, it was clean though and ok for two nights. Until I tried to sleep. The bed was so uncomfortable and I had springs in my back and down my side making it impossible to sleep until after 3 am...... They did move us for the second night and the beds where like a dream compared to the first room.

"Awful"

I understand the concept of a budget hotel, but this was awful. Underground room with virtually no daylight, broken shower, blocked sink plug and a room the size of a box cupboard. Never again.

Hotel was clean and the rooms well presented. Breakfast was excellent with a wide choice. Only downside was corridors could do with a paint as they looked tired. Staff friendly and good location for Paddington and tube. Good value.

"Service poor, hotel shabby, overpriced and in need of a complete overhaul"

I booked a twin room in Dec and was told there were only singles available as they were fully booked! Eventually got a twin and the beds were metal camp beds!! Room had old tired furniture a broken window and a hole in bath taps. Service was terrible staff attitude uncaring. Breakfast was cheap and nasty food. Walls had plaster falling off and in need of complete decoration. Breakfast was unpleasant with member of staff collecting slops and scraping plates at tables. All ver gross and unpleasant. It was overpriced and I would never stay there again. How it got 3 stars I don`t know!!

"The reception is welcoming and of an excellent standard. The reception staff efficient and helpful. "

Unfortunately I was given room number 10 which in all honesty was not fit for human habitation. I`m used to slumming if necessary but the room was an eye opener. After contemplating what to do for thirty minutes I returned to reception. I explained my concerns and that I only wanted a clean bed and a shower in the morning but there was no way I was using the shower in room 10. I appreciate some of the clients the Hotel may attract but this was below the standard I expected. I asked if this was an example of all the rooms as Trip Adviser had suggested a better quality than my experience. To the receptions credit the Duty Manager I think Hasn immediately gave me a key to room 21 and asked me to check that it was acceptable. Well is was perfect and newly refurbished so well dealt with and I accepted room 21. It still remains that the old rooms are not fit for habitation and I pity anyone getting caught out.

"bayswater hotel"

Dirty, mould on ceiling,& in the bathroom. Seriously need new furniture. Workmen playing loud music above, were told this would stop at 5pm!! GREAT! Radiator kept my room mate awake until early hours. Fortunately I had ear plugs in! Workmen started drilling again next morning 9am!! We had an upgrade next day with an additional £20 taken from us!! This room was cleaner but the design should have been for single, as you couldn`t move, the shower power was nil, the water did not drain away fully for about half an hour!!! There were two lovely reception staff, one lady, Whitney, unfortunately cannot remember other ladies name. On a final note, I would definitely not recommend this hotel ever! I have travelled most of the world, and have never complained about a hotel!! Thank goodness the show was amazing. Such a disappointment about hotel, as I was celebrating an early 50th birthday, and my friend a 40th birthday.

"5 star reception 1 star accommodation "

When you walk in its breath taking, marble floors and spotlessly clean, however that`s where it ends, Bayswater have managed to invent a time machine in the middle of london, the reception is well In the 21st century however the rooms are right back in the 70s. Despite all rooms being non smoking it was clear someone has been smoking in the room, butts on the window. And the room stank of smoke. The whole room was very tired, broken tiles, broken lights, bathroom was just a shock, and the breakfast was below poor. Lucky there is a Mcdonals 5 minute walk away. Over all I would never stay there again. 0 out of 5 rating

"Very enjoyable stay"

Good quality hotel and very reasonable price. The staff are always willing to help and it is located in a nice quiet area bit close enough to the tube to make accessing London easy. The breakfast provided had limited availability but was tasty and more than enough. Overall an excellent hotel and I would stay here again.
