Disappointing, staff inattentive and clumsy, cold plates at breakfast which made the the whole experience unenjoyable, will not stay again, desperately needs updating - the decor is straight out of the 1990s.

Large corporate hotel at the cheaper end of the market. Tube trains outside the bedroom window. Cold room, non functioning TV. You get what you pay for I suppose.

Great Singaporean restaurant
The rooms were basic but clean. Breakfast is very busy. Hotel is very close to the underground also the No 9 bus is a great way to travel into central London. Highlight for us was Bugi’s the Singaporean restaurant. Great food. So good we went again for a second night.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel because of its convenient location, and it’s definitely convenient. Our room, (and I can only comment on our room, M07, others may have been better?), was noisy, not because of the train line outside (that was barely noticeable, and trains did not run all night), no, it was the constant low frequency drone from a generator or air on unit outside our window, this combined with the loud buzzing from the mini fridge meant that I got no or very little sleep, what’s the point of a hotel if you can’t get a night’s sleep? The fridge either needs balancing, replacing or removing from the wooden cabinet that it sits in (which acts like a sound box) in the end I switched it off, sadly I couldn’t do the same to the noise machine outside. As for breakfast, I asked for poached eggs and was informed that I would have to pay extra for them, please don’t tell me it’s to keep costs down, as other hotels manage to provide poached eggs on request. To add insult to injury, the fried eggs on the servery were solid and like plastic (Edwina Curry would have been delighted). Additionally, the plates were cold, such that on collecting my hot breakfast and plastic eggs from the servery, it was cold by the time I reached my table. (To be fair, the plates were warmer on the second morning). On collecting toast I asked for side plates only to be directed to the dinner plates. In all I’d describe this hotel as “Mutton done up as Lamb”.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel because of its convenient location. Our room (and I can only comment on our room, M07. Others may have been better?), was in need of a makeover. Fake tiles in the bathroom peeling and just a general weariness, although it was clean. The room was noisy, not because of the train line outside, that was hardly noticeable, but because of the constant low frequency droning of what appeared to be a generator or air con unit outside of our window (the double glazing failed to mitigate this, and combine that with the mini fridge that buzzed loudly, it either needs balancing, replacing or removing from the wooden cabinet that acts as a sound box, in the end I switched the fridge off. What’s the point of booking a hotel if you can’t get to sleep. As for breakfast, we asked for poached eggs and were told that we would have to pay extra, (please don’t tell me that this is to keep costs down, other hotels manage to provide poached eggs). On the first morning the plates were cold, such that once I had collected my hot breakfast from the servery it was cold by the time I reached my table.

Horrible costumer services
The young lady at the front desk “Bellista” I believe is her name was extremely rude . Service in general was very poor . They won’t assist you at all. Only a couple people were welcoming and cordial from the staff we encountered. Breakfast was horrible , a buffet that was always empty and they wouldn’t fill it immediately. The location is probably the only positive thing about this hotel , you are close to the train station , restaurants, shopping , busses stops , coffee shops.

Very disappointed overall. This is a hotel I used regularly for business over 30 years ago. Returning for the 1st time since then....now living in the US. Yes the rooms need upgrading but the bathroom was unhygienic - using the shower created brown droplets of condensation dripping from complete ceiling not just with the bathtub area. Tried to speak with a manager on arrival also but nobody wanted to invest in a conversation. I was promised an upgrade also - :(

Unpolite personnel. Poor lounge / reception area, very few seats available. Why not make the complete area with sufficient amount of comfortable sofaes and chairs, and a bar. The Bistro with bar was not comfortable for taking a drink and relaxing.
