Advantages: Cheap, good transport links, close shops and restaurants

...good accomadation. We booked the Apollo which was only £55 per room per night for a triple room booked through easyjethotels. We know that you get what you pay for most of the time and only really needed somewhere to rest. First impression: Reception was a bit shabby and the receptionist was on the phone throughout the whole checking in process On arrival: As we arrived just before midday we were informed that our room wouldn't be available ...
...welcome to leave our luggage in the reception so we could start our sight seeing. Rooms: As expected the room was cramped standard room size with extra beds put in it. Actually had room for 4 people to sleep but not really to move. Bathroom was very small but did have both a bath and shower however at peak times the hot water did run out. The curtains where falling of the rail and room needed a lick of paint. Generally looked quite clean. Beds ... Read review

Advantages: Decent sized rooms
Disadvantages: Staff just doesn't care

I booked a hotel room for my girlfriend and her mother for a night here just yesterday. On the first day everything went well, despite having been given a room that smelt quite a bit of old cigarette smoke. However, the following day when they were checking out we overheard a very frazzled woman ask the man at the counter to check up on her bag. As it turns out it was stolen from her while she was having breakfast in the hotel! The man acted extremely ...
...her passport, phone and even her glasses, and even went so far as to say when she had left the counter, I quote: "It's not as if someone died". Needless to say, my girlfriend who was intending to leave her luggage there during the day, decided against it. And I definitely would not book this hotel again seeing how much their staff cares about the customers. ... Read review

Advantages: Good value, nicely decorated, comfortable and well located
Disadvantages: Very few, although some rooms seemed to be in need of a bit of basic maintenance

...Booking This is a Best Western property, so can be found easily via their web site. I actually stumbled upon it through the “Laterooms” web site, where I managed to find a substantial discount on the rack-rate. To be honest, even for a London hotel, I think the rack rate is a little steep, but we managed to get a deluxe double room for £79.50 (about $125), including tax and breakfast and this seemed to be a fair price for what we got. The hotel ...
...efficient and friendly. My Best Western card number was noted, the bill was paid and we were on our way. In conclusion, Despite being part of the Best Western group, this certainly didn’t feel like a chain hotel. Nor did it feel shoddy. Great efforts have been made to give the place a welcoming and individual feel and the staff go out of their way to be helpful. I have just two criticisms. Firstly, several of the things in our room seemed to be ... Read review

Advantages: Friendly Staff
Disadvantages: Rooms appear dirty, damp marks in bathroom, run down

If you need a place to rest your head then this caters for that but that's about all. I was taking a friend to see a show on a Saturday night, we arrived to find someone in the room we have been given a key for and was then shown to a room after about a 20 minute wait. There was damp in the bathroom, the whole place needs a lick of paint and everything is seriously dated. The hairdryer is lethal so take your own! No towels. We went out to the show ...
...until about 4am - there is always someone on reception and they are more than happy to let you in at any time. I must say that the staff are very friendly. Breakfast in the morning was basic cereal, toast, tea and coffee but that was ok. I wouldn't stay there again but it was the cheapest available and it's the location that you're paying for. Only book if incredibly desperate!!! ... Read review

Advantages: Soft beds, high-speed internet, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Noisy at weekends, below average housekeeping

The Cumberland is easy to find, the staff are helpful, and the rooms are clean. However there are a couple of faults. Upon arriving at the hotel, I was told that my room had been double booked, but they decided to grant me a free upgrade. All good except that my room was now above the hotels nightclub, and I had to put up with booming music until 3am. That said, I did manage to have a wonderful sleep after it finished, and awoke feeling refreshed. ...
...want to get up! The other thing I wasn't too impressed with was the bathroom. There were several cracks in the plaster, one of the lightbulbs had blown and the complimentary shampoo bottle was half empty. My advice? At reception, ask what the noise levels are like in the room and don't accept it until you have inspected it. ... Read review
