The Normandie is a complete was of money. The Shower ceiling collapsed on my wife while she was taking a shower. The owner did not even give us an apology. One night we were locked out of the hotel in the rain for over 30 minuets and once again nothing was done for us. There are tons of decent, clean... more

After reading the reviews on this page I feared the worse. But I was nicely surprised by hte Normandie Hotel. Sure, the curtains and carpet are old. But the bed was fine and the bathroom nice and clean. Location is very good, save and clean neighbourhood just around the corner of Paddington station. Tube and buses take you everywhere, within... more

I am fairly certain they tried to rob us, twice. Once, the front desk guy came into the room without knocking, and when he saw me said that he had come to check that our windows were closed, which made little sense.

Fawlty Towers with John Cleese must be a 6 star hotell compared to Normandie Hotel. I recommend all other tourists to London, even my worse enemies, never to walk through the door at Normandie Hotel. Rude personel and a VERY low standard. It is not a hotel. Bed & Breakfast is a better description, or even just a bed, as... more

We had a very bad experience with this hotel. The staff was very rude and very unhelpful. When we want to cancel our stay, the owner came and started talking very unprofessionally and rudely (his way of talking to us was very annoying and noisy!)!! The breakfast was very bad.!! It included baked beans(in the morning!!), bread, jam, and tea!!Nothing... more

We booked this hotel at least 4 months in advance, it was the last night of our 2 week holiday. We are 2 couples and arrived at the hotel approx 2-pm. Upon arrival, we were told our rooms were allocated in other hotels - 2 separate hotels. We asked them why this was so and asked to at least be... more
