“Don't rely on the wake-up call!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

people found this review helpful

As of the last evening of my stay at Vancouver Studios last week, I had intended to write a glowing, positive review of my 3 night stay. Unfortunately, the last thing that happened there is so significant, that it has downgraded my rating from a possible 5 to a 3.
I had to leave early in the morning to catch my flight from Heathrow. I asked for a cab for 7:15 a.m. and a wake-up call at 6:30. The wake-up call never came. The cab arrived early (7:00), and that was when the front desk called up to my room. The apology for forgetting the wake-up call was feeble at best. Fortunately for me, I had been awake anyway.
Other than that, my stay was pleasant. The room was tiny, as was the bath, but I expected that to be the case.
Housekeeping did an excellent job cleaning and replenishing tea bags, biscuits, towels, shower gel, etc.
I would probably stay there again because the price was so reasonable. I would just make sure that I set the alarm on my phone!

Room Tip: Room 11 is fine for 1 person who does not spend a lot of time in the room. It was toward the back...

“Mom & Daughter at Vancouver Studios”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

person found this review helpful

My daughter and i loved our stay at Vancouver Studios in December. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The twin studio room was small but quite comfortable. (We were glad we had requested a room on one of the lower floors.) In the room there was a basket of coffee, tea, cocoa and biscuits, which was topped up daily. The kitchenette was tiny but had everything you might need -- dishes, silverware, utensils, pots, pants, stove, microwave, refrigerator, electric kettle that heated water faster than anything we've ever seen, washing-up liquid, sponge, dishtowel -- quite complete. In the lobby there were always chocolates and apples available. The parlor and courtyard were charming, and the neighborhood was very convenient to 2 different Underground lines, buses, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. It was a perfect choice for our mother-daughter getaway.

“Two adults in twin bed room - wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

We had a great trip to London, and staying at Vancouver Studios was a large part of feeling at home very quickly. Once we got over the 'smallness' of the sleep/kitchen area, we adapted very well. The bathroom/shower stall are beautifully renovated and the whole space was very, very clean. Beds very comfortable. Good bedding. Lovely view from window overlooking the courtyard below. Many a day we we would take our tea in the courtyard and find just ourselves out there, with a local cat to provide us the true English feel. Wonderful service, staff very friendly and helpful. Location perfect - 5 minute walk to many bus routes and 2 subway stations. Hyde park very close and perfect for morning walk. We stayed 9 nights and loved every moment. Would highly recommend and will stay there again next visit.

Room Tip: room facing rear courtyard nice and quiet. Only stairs, so may want room on 2nd floor - not higher.

“Think B&B; nice and on the small side”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed a week at a single room.

This is a nice victorian house turned into a hotel. There is also no elevator and the rooms are tiny. In all fairness anything within their control is excellent otherwise. The shower is perhaps the smallest I have seen even with european standards but they have gone out of their way to make sure the showerware is high-end: grohe...good temperature control and pressure. You know how rare that is in europe!

The room was also clean and was cleaned very well every day. Staff change every day but they are all nice.
Wifi speed was good and you are walking distance to Bayswater station and bayswater road which is lined up with restaurants and stores(Tesco and Boots included).

Room Tip: Because there is no elevator ask for a lower floor.
