“not fancy but just what i needed”

i didn't go to london to hang out in a fancy hotel and to be pampered in a spa. So, west cromwell hotel met my needs for the purpose of my trip, to have fun in london. The room was small but clean, it had hot water in my own bathroom and a fairly comfortable bed. The 24 hour reception desk was convienient and the breakfast gave me a boost on my day. It was close to the earl's court tube station and had some inexpensive restaurants and three grocery stores for eating needs.

“Bed & Breakfast”

Breakfast is from 7:30 AM GMT to 9:30 AM GMT. They had Toast (3), with Butter & Jam, Corn Flakes, Milk & Orange Juice. They had Magic FM 106.5, playing in the Breakfast Room with Richard Blade on the Radio giving away a one year pass to the London Zoo & 800 Pounds in cash each morning & playing the Top 40.

“Very small and dirty”

This hotel was very small and dirty. My wife did not want to go in the shower because it looked so dirty and moldy that she felt like she would get out of the shower and not be clean. The breakfast consisted of corn flakes and toast. They did not have anything else to choose from and it was the same food everyday. The had OJ, coffee or tea to drink.

“Not Impressed”

He hotel was in a very nice locaion, but once we saw our room we were dissapointed. There was mold on the cieling in the bathroom, and dirt or dust on the floor throughout the entire room. The bed wasn't too bad, but the pillow felt like slleping on a sandbag. The staff was small, but helpfull, though we never recieved wash cloths throughout our 6 day visit and had to use either a hand towel or, on a couple of days, bath towels. Next time I go to London, I'll pay a little more to have a more comfortable stay.

“Cheap but not good”

the price is cheap, the location is a little bit away from the metro station (at least 10 minutes walk), the room is tiny and the hotel is in the old town house. I left my lugguge in the hotel for the last day, but it charged me 3 pounds :(

“Is it a room or a closet?”

Literally only one foot of floor space all the way around the bed. I couldn't even turn all the way around in the shower. Oh well, everybody warned me to be prepared for the miniturization of comfort in London.

“Avoid this hotel!”

service is terrible: You are not allowed to make calls, even toll free once. Bathroom is cold. Room is so small that there is no way around your suit case! At 11 am they throw your luggage out of your room, and keep it in a hallway, i doubt if anyone watches it. Bed is very uncomfy to sleep on. Room is clean, but remodeling is way overdue.
