The hotel and the rooms are small but they were quiet and met the needs of room for 3. Reception was gracious enough to let us check in early as it was pouring when we arrived. The value was hard to beat as it is close to the Bayswater Tube and the Notting Hill neighborhood.

I booked this hotel last minute (the night before) with airline miles and was surprised at the great value it holds. The hotel is located on a quiet street close to the tube (about a 10 minute walk) and within walking distance to Notting Hall and a simple 10 minute walk to Hyde Park. Even better, there are city bikes you can rent just off the steps of the hotel. My room was quite small and located in the basement, but it was airy and clean and I had a nice kitchenette. The shower was hot and fast and it was a quiet place to stay. Although it was odd to stay in the basement, I had my own private door and entry which was a luxury. The staff were friendly and allowed me to store my bags all day while I went to meetings. I would recommend this hotel and consider staying again.

Got what I thought was a deal from Easy Click travel for $125.00 (U.S.) a night for a double occupancy. My girlfriend and I showed up to the reception area and a young man, who could not have been older than 22, checked us in. Upon signing for the room I saw that he had placed us on the first floor at which time I asked if he could put us somewhere else. I have this thing about being on the first floor, I am always afraid that we are going to be right near the elevator, or that people coming in late at night are going to pound on our door, or wake us up from being too loud.
The young man gave us a room on the fourth floor of a building down the block from the main entrance. It was nice, bathroom seemed pretty modern. There is no place to hang a towel in there, but there was plenty of closet space. There was no elevator in this other building so we had to haul about fifty pounds of luggage up four flights of stairs - no easy task. The young man told us about this before we accepted, but he also said it was a nicer room than the original one on the first floor he had selected for us.
The room was made up nicely each day after we left, but what I can't stand was that the maid had turned off the air conditioner off each time after she entered. In a perfect world, housekeeping would leave it alone so that when we come back from a long afternoon of sweating in the streets, we could come back to our nice cool room and not have to wait the couple hours for it to become tolerable again. It must be a law of hotels to do this.
They have a computer on the first floor which is free for guests to use. This came in very handy. Also, the concierge at the front, a pretty young lady, was very helpful with stores in the area that could help us, and where we could find things. You should know that this is a very ethnic area of London to reside in. Don't expect to see men in bowler hats and women with Union Jack flag earrings. Instead, expect burkas and full face coverings on women walking around. There is a strong Arabic population and the stores reflect that. None of them seem to serve alcohol. Walking along, you see a lot of juice bars and tea houses. There is one spot where you can get a beer late at night, it is an Austrian bar/restaurant on Bishop's Bridge Road called the Tiroler Hut. We went there after a waitress we met on the street gave us the lowdown on the area. She said to walk down the stairs, grab a beer and settle in for some fun. She was right. They serve good beers out of these huge Bavarian steins. They cost a pretty penny, about $26 U.S. for two. But the entertainment inside is the real gem. The Austrian owner has a karaoke bar complete with an electric keyboard. He sang "My Way" by Frank Sinatra in a thick Austrian accent and then he played a song on his saxophone. It was like a scene out of a David Lynch movie but I would not have traded it for the world. Only in Bayswater Baby! Do yourself a favor and find this place and have as bizarre an experience as we did that will stay with you forever.

We arrived after 24 hours of flying fairly exhausted to be told at reception that the booking our travel agent had made months before didn't mean much as the hotel was under new management and our booking had been made at a cheap rate and they didn't have to honour it, but they said they would put us up in a flat next door to the hotel and it was an upgrade. We were so tired we said OK to this,until we got next door and saw the bedding! The pillows were all stained yellow with mould on them and the quilt which was sticking out the end of the cover was all disintegrating and mouldy looking.
There was no tea,coffee milk etc at all and only a pershed old dishcloth on the sink. We went back and said we couldn't sleep in those beds. They relented and said we could have 1 night in the hotel and they would try somewhere else the next day. The hotel was better but still an old perished dishcloth on the sink the bathroom wasn't very clean. We were thankful though at this stage just for a bed. We were told we had to leave our luggage in the lobby the next morning and come back in the afternoon to see what they had found. Got back late in the afternoon to be told nothing else was available. It was either the flat next door or nothing. We said in desperation as long as they changed the bedding we would stay there. After all that we turned on the TV to find the only channels were arabic. Told reception, she didn't believe us until coming over and trying for herself. They did at least end up getting a technician in to install an aerial.
I would say avoid this hotel at all costs. They really didn't seem to care at all about the fact that we had made a booking and paid in full. I'd say they do this on a regular basis, double booking rooms.
