Queens Hotel, London

I recently had a trip to London with a friend, and since I have been in hotels in and around London before, I was tasked with finding us accommodation for 3 nights. I knew that we would be using the hotel for bed and breakfast only, so wasn't going to waste our money on anything too fancy. After a little searching I found this hotel on a site at just over £30 a night, coming to £108 in total per person. This was for double, en-suit rooms with breakfast ...
...pretty much right. The hotel is far from perfect, but then I've thought the same about many hotels I've paid a fair bit more to stop in, including 4 star ones. The rooms were spacious, as expected for doubles, but basic, with a TV (5 channels only, and not a great signal despite being right near the Crystal Palace transmitter), desk, tea and coffee making facilities and a bathroom with bath and shower. They have seen better days, the carpets were ...

Review of Queens Hotel, London

I recently stayed at the Queens Hotel at the end of November, and to be honest it was absolutely fine. I had booked it at the last minute, just a few hours before check in, and everything went smoothly. Check was easy and without complication. As for the room, it had everything I needed considering I was only staying for a couple of nights by myself, and most of the time I was out anyway. It was clean, which is important, and there was a working ...
...when I turned the shower on, the shower head fell straight off, completely soaking the bathroom and spraying water everywhere. However, this was easily fixed by myself. Breakfast was fine, just usual kind of toast, cereals....basically what you would expect, and there is always Sainsburys just around the corner. Staff were generally willing to help, although didn't seem particularly welcoming. At night it was slightly noisy, as I had a room right ...

Review of Queens Hotel, London

The miserable experience started as soon as I arrived at the reception counter.A very unfriendly manager told me that my name could not be found on any guest list.He could offer me a room at the maximum rate for 1 night only.It took me the better part of a day to get this sorted out and even though it was his mistake,no apology was forthcoming. We ended up in a room with a seriously sloping floor,wallpaper peeling off in a number of places,a panel ...
...went and discovered the hiding place of baby cockroaches under the kettle. Tickets to a soccer game were delivered to this establishment,could never be found while we were there but returned to the seller 3 weeks after the game. The complimentary breakfast consisted of dry white bread and persistently long line-ups waiting on fresh coffee. Conclusion:this is the absolute last resort. ...

Review of Queens Hotel, London

Firstly i would not call this establishment a "hotel" quite frankly you would be better off sleeping on the streets than staying in this building, the staff are the most ignorant and non caring people i have come across in my lifetime. they have no concept of what the words "customer service" actually mean. The hotel itself is what you would describe as a "sick building" and needs to be put out of it's misery, the rooms are disgusting with bare electric ...
