“Do NOT spend your money on this hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed at the hotel 3 nights. It´s NOTHING like in their web pages. the rooms are awful, theres no space to mention.
Our room was in 4th floor, no elavator in our part (in the part were´s reception there´s an elevator, on the otherside you just have to climb the stairs..) it was dreadful! Our room had one double bed and one single bed. There was no space at all after that! Rooms are awful, only good thing to say is that the bathroom was renewed and very clean.
Rooms are very cold, noise from the street is continues and we had no shower for 3 days!!! Water was freezing cold and there was no pressure..tip..tip..tip. We asked from reception following morning if someone could come and fix it. Still it was freezing cold in the evening when we returned..reception said that someone had fixed it and he would contact the man again, no help for us since we were returning home alreaydy.
There´s also a phone in the room but no number to call the reception..in our case climbing the 150 or so stairs over and over again was a hell!

“Don't get fooled”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2011

What is advertised on line isn't what you are getting. It looks great from the outside but wait till you get in!! The pictures they advertise on line look nothing like what you really get. The elevator is old and you are lucky you can fit 2 people with luggage and the rooms are old a and bathtub had tape on it...broken. Not worth the money they charge...a hostile is much better.

“Basic but clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011

We planned our trip to London for NYE 2010, we had only had a small budget and just wanted a clean room to put down our heads at the end of the night as we weren't planning on staying in and The Ascot matched this expectation. It is very basic and in desperate need of a refurb but we found the staff were very helpful & friendly, if your looking for nice decor and comfortable rooms this probably isn't for you.

“Horrendous!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I'm not normally one to complain but........the hotel is nothing like the website, we had booked a family room and were given a tiny room that had a double and a single squashed together in it, no way of getting in or out of the double bed. it also had a KITCHEN UNIT in the room which took up all the spare space!

Breakfast was something else, basically a room in the cellar that had a toaster, a covered pool table and a few tables and chairs, you were expected to make your own toast, and given the lavish choices of hard boiled egg or plastic cheese to put on it. There were no plates, or cutlery available so we had to search for those and there was a cue.

There were a lot of foreign visitors in the hotel and I would have been ashamed to be English had it not been for the the fact that the owners were not English and none of the staff spoke English.

I could go on but you get the idea..........AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS

Wish I'd looked at Trip Advisor before booking!

“Cheap and perfect position!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2010

It's a very small hotel at 2 min walking from Paddington subway station that is the start stop to Heatrow Airport.
Room is small, bed are not so confortable but the bath is in there and the price is cheap to be London!
So close to the subway. If u dont care about the inside location and just think about a base. Its your hotel. Reception people arent kind and they want u to pay when arrive!
