"Great location, shopping and good tube connections nearby. Rooms facing Oxford Street very noisy"

"excellent stay"
just returned from an overnight stay at this hotel. It was excellent; our room was very clean & well equipped. Had breakfast as part of the deal which was very good buffet style with much choice. The hotel is also in a great location just off Oxford street so great for shopping. Will return to this hotel.

"Who rates these hotels ?, please contact me if its you"
Unclean bed linen (hairs and stains of some kind, lets not even guess what they where) unclean bed linen in all 4 rooms we tried, painted open windows, undercooked chicken, overcooked pork, fish in the ceaser salad, 2 hours to find a room that was habitable 4 rooms visited, not a good experience thats for sure. Try as I may the only really good thing about our experience was the location, the car park next door and the breakfast even though inconsistent with the eggs, one day 2 eggs the next 1, order frosties two days in a row get special K two days in a row, now Im no fool and I ticked the box for frosties both times, its not hard to follow a list like that is it, and it was all getting cold by the time it reached the 5th floor, where it went from the kitchen to the 5th I have no idea. SHAME !

Our second stay at this fab hotel but unfortunately let down by a couple of things. 25 minutes to retrieve our suitcase from the Luggage Room, finally a very kind Electrician from the hotel came to our rescue. Get to breakfast early as it is very busy and you have to queue to get into the dining room. Unfortunately we waited 20 minutes after being shown to our table for someone to ask us if we`d like tea or coffee. Eventually we approached a member of staff and politely asked for some coffee, to our dismay we weren`t offered any sort apology even though we had clearly been overlooked.

"Central, cosy room very friends staff"
The newly refurbished rooms are well planned and use the space optimally.The room was sunny, has a view over Oxford street and was quiet. Coffee facilities in the room above average and restore the tired traveller speedily. Highly recommend.

"Great Location at a reasonable price"
This hotel was reasonably well set up to handle a lot of people only saying one or two nights. Staff friendly and helpful. Our refurbished room was really lovely and the lobby decor was lovely.

"The Weekend was too much for this hotel"
45 minute queue for breakfast and then only half the food was available. This hotel has about 820 rooms but when full cannot cope. Very disappointed with what should have been a lovely treat.

"very nice recently re-furbished spacious room with excellent facilities p"
But Both room keys failed to operate after breakfast and after going to reception, replacement keys failed.we only got back into the room by the kind assistance of the room maid. Also there was a queue for breakfast, we had to ask 3 times to get any coffee and the hot buffet was dried up and luke warm. Definitely not 4 star breakfast# Warwick Robinson

"Wonderful hotel, helpful staff"
Whilst the hotel looks dated from the outside, don`t let first impressions fool you, inside its beautiful. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The receptionist placed us in one of the refurbished rooms which was beautifully decorated. The monsoon shower was awesome and every drawer, hinge & cupboard that could be closed (including the toilet seats!) were `soft shutting` so there were no bangs at all. Admittedly our room was inwards looking but we didn`t `t come to a London hotel for the room view! The location is very convenient, only a short walk from xxxxx xxxxx tube station & therefore easily accessible to all parts of London. Breakfast was busy but well managed with fresh food constantly being topped up. My only gripe (if there is one) is that the waiting staff appeared slightly over-zealous in clearing our plates away. Please wait for me to finish next time! We will definitely come back here again, thank you

"Staff extremely pleasant. "
We arrived and the staff at reception were lovely. Unfortunately the room they gave me had a flooded floor and urine still on the loo! I went down the guest relations and they changed this immediately by putting me in s superior room. Unfortunate incident but happy with the solution.

"Good location, but shame about the housekeeping!"
Our stay at the xxxxx was fine, good location and we were lucky to get a refurbished room. The only disappointment was being woken up Saturday morning by the housekeeper asking us when the room would be available for cleaning. When I explained not until 10.30am she could not understand me and asked me to write the time on a piece of paper. Unfortunately, when we returned to our room at 3pm that afternoon it had not been cleaned. We saw a housekeeper in the corridor, but when we asked about our room, she could not understand us. This was not a problem, but just annoying that we had been asked for a time! We have stayed at many hotels both in the UK and overseas and this is the first time we have ever been woken up to be asked about cleaning the room.

"Fantastic experience."
The hotel was as good as the description on the web, in fact for us the experience far exceeded our expectation, as we had an executive room with all the associated facilities,which were wonderful as it was a trip to celebrate our silver wedding on the day we arrived.The champagne was excellent!Thankyou HotelDirect you really did it!We will use you again.

"A good hotel in an excellent location."
Hotel staff were excellent. One of our rooms was not cleaned & we were given a recently refurbished room on the 8th floor. Breakfast was just ok. Not very warm. A small restaurant for the number of people needing to eat breakfast. I`m glad we were given the refurbished rooms as the other rooms are certainly in need of the same.
