We were conned into this hotel by our travel agent (whom we have since stopped using). Claustrophobic and cramped room with an airline cramped and tight bathroom. We could touch the opposite walls, it was that small! It was supposed to be a triple room. We had a view of an alley with dustbins! How wonderful. Rude insensitive staff at... More

The Brunel is actually on Craven Road, Bayswater, not in Gloucester Terrace as it states on its adverts. The rooms are extremely cramped, and the lift only takes two people, or one person and luggage. Worst of the hotels I used in London by far. More

This was a package hotel break I booked with my mother and daughter. The location was great on reliable bus routes and walking distance to restaurants. The room was small and I was disappointed there was no bath and a tiny bathoom - with no storage at all. The Shower trickled out and the tiny hand basin was constantly blocked.... More

Friends had stayed here and they recommended the location. But when we arrived the room was grubby and the staff curt. Strange how this hotel is always offering deals???? because it has to. For the money I would rather have paid another £30 for a comfortable clean night's sleep. More
