"Fabulous stay in London"

We had a lovely stay at the Blandford Hotel, central location and easy access to the underground station. Hotel was clean and staff were very helpful in all aspects of our stay. Lovely breakfast. Definitely would return here for another trip.

"Very average Blandford Hotel"

I chose this hotel because the photos were very flattering and it has an excellent location. However the the reality was totally different. Our room was on the ground floor, 10 yards away from reception, next to the toilet. It faced out to the main road underneath the street light which beamed into our room. The room was smaller than I thought. It had a double bed with a single bed at the foot which was difficult to navigate when I needed the toilet in the night. The toilet/shower room had a noisy frosted glass door which was not very discreet when you had to pay a visit. As we were so close to reception it was very noisy at night with people going back and forth and using the reception toilet. In the morning the I opted for the cooked buffet breakfast which was stone cold. The location however was close to the tube station and the main shopping area of Oxford Street. Overall, it didn`t ruin our weekend but it certainly didn`t enhance and I would definitely think twice before booking.

"Average hotel in great location"

+ Location, quiet street, very comfortable beds, umbrella, staff friendly, quick wifi- Hole in back of cupboard under kettle, room could have been cleaner, one sheet of paper in the `welcome` folder, very average breakfast - no fresh fruit, only tinned peaches, no pastries etc, only cold croissants, tea pot had a big chip out of it.

"Beds very comfortable. Breakfast good."

Pleased with chosen hotel, however we had no hot water to have a shower or wash I feel some compensation is required.

"A nice hotel "

Was greeted by a smile at front desk and able to leave suitcase early to wander back into London. Very pretty from the outside with flowers. Not a bad location with a tube station bottom off road.(shame was shut for weekend!) Had room 24, two lovely double beds and nice size bathroom. Modern and clean.Breakfast was good with good choice of English or continental. Would use again

"Enjoyable short stay."

Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Room small, not much room to walk round bed, but didn`t cause a problem. Clean and nicely decorated. The only drawback was the hot water wasn`t constant.

"Great location"

My original choice of this hotel was due to its close proximity to Baker Street tube station which coupled with a visitors Oyster card makes travelling to London attractions easy and straightforward. Although the hotel is small in comparison with some of its larger competitors it more than compensates for this for cleanliness good standard of presentation outside the hotel are an array of plants all well kept. The staff are warm and friendly and clearly put the guests needs first. Continental breakfast is excellent with good choice of items. A five star performance.

Lovely hotel tucked away down a side street about 2 mins from baker st tube. Immaculately clean and huge comfy bed. Our room. was quite small but well organised with wardrobe,hairdryer and fridge. Staff very friendly and helpful dining room small and a bit cramped but lovely fresh food . Would definitely recommend and will use it again for my next London trip.

"What a Shame"

We will not be returning. Although furnishings and fittings were good, our room was way too small and had a plumbing noise throughout the whole of our stay.it sounded like water being pumped through the system. Also the Continental Breakfast was cheapskate and not good. I have stayed in lots of hotels in London. This was the most disappointing.

"o.k. for this rate"

Room was small, but enough for us. Room very nice, nearly new and clean. Bathroom could be more clean, but it was still o.k. Some little defects in the bathroom should be repaired. Breakfast not too rich and varied, but everybody can find something. All in all is it a nice and clean hotel at a good place to visit the sightseeings of London. Only one minus for the very hard matrix of the bed.

Needed a soap dish in the bathroom. Needed a teaspoon in the Tea making facilities. All the people were brilliant, and although the refurbishment was still going on it did not cause any difficulties.

"Good location ,though not without issues."

The location of this hotel is superb with Baker street tube station being a 5 minute walk away,the rooms are quite small but functional and clean and the hotel is currently undergoing decoration/ improvement work .The only issue we had was on the morning of our last day at breakfast (continental)unfortunately when we came down for breakfast the dining room was full with no spare tables and we dont really want to share a table with strangers so we had to go to a local cafe .All in all a decent little hotel with good transport links and an easy walk to the centre of town.This is probably due to the fact that the hotel itself just hasnt got the dining capacity for all the guests at the same time.

"great hotel wrong time to visit."

The Blandford hotel would have got an excellent rating but for the fact we were not told untill we arrived about the hotel refurbishment going on.Scaffolding surrounds the hotel workmen inside plastic sheeting on carpeting.Despite this the staff were great and helpful the room had been recently refurbed was clean comfortable and no noise until 9 in the morning.The other downside is the distance from theatre land at least half hour taxi ride.But we did have a good stay in what is a nice comfortable hotel.

"Friendly clean hotel is a quiet road with great access to the underground."

Family room was a little bijou for a family of four as we were a party of grandmother, daughter and two granddaughters so one adult slept on sofa bed with one grandchild so not comfortable as thin mat on springs. Very clean and friendly staff though. A little noisy with refurbishment that is going on but not intrusive. We paid top price but rooms were being sold on website for a lot cheaper than we paid and discount was not passed back to us. Xx
