Review of Caesar hotel London - Kensington
This hotel is walking distance from Paddington station so is an easy place to get to from heathrow. It is also walking distance from Bayswater and Queensway Tubes and is easy to travel from.
This is a cheap and reasonable place to stay. It is a low profile hotel and non descript externally. It has a pleasant entrance and is manned 24 hours a day at reception.
I was in a 'superior' room on the top level 4th floor so I would hate to see the lesser rooms as the superior room is very small with average fittings. I am new to London and am told small rooms are the norm here so i think you need to bear this in mind for any rooms in London?
The room itself was a little run down fixtures wise ie peeling veneer off the cupboards, a wonky bath/shower, aging mirrors and was in need of some renovation. The rooms despite their age were well maintained and the linen and towels were clean and crisp.
I had a window on the top floor but there was nothing to look at except the other side of the street.
There was no iron or ironing board in the room but on asking reception, they promptly delivered them and took them away when you left them outside the room.
Internet is free for an hour each day and if you need more you have to pay £7 a day to use it.
They had room service which was quick and prompt. I ordered a club sandwich which was around £12 which was reasonable. I did not use the dining room as I ate out so can't rate the meals or breakfast which may or not have been included in your room rate. If you did not have breakfast in your room rate, they handed you a discounted voucher for breakfast if you were interested.
They also supplied a paper each day complimentary.
I ordered the room over the Internet and was accidentally short a day. The additional day was cheaper to order direct than to order over the Internet so worth a call direct to see if you can get better rates?
They were always polite and professional and greeted you when you arrived or departed from the hotel. They even stored my luggage after I had checked out in the morning at no charge and hand over the luggage later in the day when I needed it to leave.
Overall this place was ok.
