Well, my family and I stayed for the first and last time in this hotel. The pictures on their website bear no resemblance to the actual place you are staying! We arrived at 13:00 only to be told to come back after 14:00. Generally speaking, the whole place was in an advanced state of disrepair. It was conveniently located, I'll... more

We had a family room that was very small. The bathroom had no heat and was very cold. The heat was turned on at 5 pm and off at 9 a.m. with no way for you to regulate it. It was very cold while we were there so going to the room during the day to warm up was not... more

However, we had to come back to London later on in our trip, and... more

We checked in late, at 9:30pm, but had rung the hotel earlier in the day and been advised that this would be no problem. Indeed, check in was very easy, and the man on reception... more

From May 28 to June 4 we had a room in hotel Central. Reservation was for hotel Fairway across the street (common receptionist), but when we came we found out we should stay in hotel Central. I don't know about Fairway (we didn't even enter), but we were delighted with Central. We were ready for every kind of surprise and... more

I wanted to try out a london B&B. I got to get the really friendly service I was expecting and the cooked English breakfast. Very convenient to travel and for shopping. more
