In general hotel is OK for it's price/quality, but a bit far away from the City for 55 quid. Was staying in the back of the hotel and it was absolutely quite there. Room was clean for a hotel of such a standard. Reception man was welcoming.

The hotel is too dirty. Curtain, carpet was grimy and the bathroom as well. The room was smelling smoke (I booked a no smoke room). The carpet in the elevator was full of hair.

I was in London for a week. When you registar at this hotel you must ask for a room at the rear of the establishment... otherwise the traffic noise is too much. Overall, I found the hotel an excellent value. I would use it again

Cutre en general. Eso no me importó demasiado. Lo peor era el olor a tabaco en mi habitación, como si 200 personas estuvieran fumando allí antes de entrar yo. Además no se iba el olor ni dejando la ventana abierta todo el día. De limpieza regular. No lo recomiendo por eso. Si vuelvo a Londres buscaré cualquier otro que cueste un poco más. In general, it is a good example of a very low price hotel. It was acceptable at all except the smell. It was like if there was 200 people smoking on my room just before I went in. I recommend you to pay a bit more and tray another one.

Eaven it is not the Grand Hotel, my stay at West Cromwell Hotel has been nice. The prices are competitive. The room was not wide but there were everything someone need during his stay out from home. A special thank to the staff.

The double-room was small. Seemed to be a prior single room. Bath ok. Breakfast ok. Very small lift, not space for a trolley. Not recommended for families with small babies. Anyhow we were satisfied with price/quality.

our room wundow was broken and I slept with all the traffic noise from street, when I asked for a new room they gave us a basement room ., moldy and very small !! La nostra camera aveva la finestra rotta e abbiamo dormito con tutto il rumore della strada che e' notevole, il giorno dopo abbiamo protestato e ci hanno dato una stanza nello scantinato con una finestra piccolissima, un bagno che sapeva da muffa e strettissima. i nostri amici aveva una stanza spaziosa che da sul retro e si sono trovati bene, ma sembra che le stanze sul retro costino di piu. La colazione e' monotona, pane burro e marmellata. La posizione dell'hotel e' molto comoda pero' non ci tornerei

if you want to pay by credit card your bill will be charged of 3%,that's no good. If You ask to concierge to deposit your luggage also for few hours after check out you must pay 3£ for each one also if it is an umbrella.you can't sleep with open window for the trafic noise all the night and day

Il benvenuto dello staff è davvero poco amichevole, anzi direi nullo. Il personale è poco professionale, se vi recate in questa struttura munitevi di tutte le informazioni riguardo la città perchè lo staff non è x nulla pronto ad aiutarvi in questo. Le stanze sono poco spaziose e poco pulite, ambienti angusti e l'ascensore è piccolissima, capienza una persona, per trasportare i bagagli è stata una vera impresa. La colazione non è delle migliori come del resto anche la sala ristorante. Un punto a favore è la vicinanza alla metropolitana di earl's court che è raggiungibile a piedi in circa 10 minuti di cammino. Un consiglio: se avete intenzione di depositare i vostri bagagli in albergo, magari nell'ultimo giorno di permanenza sappiate che vi chiederanno 3 pound x bagaglio, dunque fate bene i vostri conti. Buona fortuna.

Faire attention en arrivant à ne pas prendre la Cromwell Rd au lieu de la West Cromwell Rd. J'avais réservé pour une chambre avec des lits jumeaux. Je me suis finalement retrouvée avec une chambre double. La chambre est bien chauffée mais très étroite. Il fait très froid dans la salle de bains et la douche est tellement petite que vous vous douchez avec le rideau de douche qui vous colle à la peau.

pedí habitación individual, que resultó ser extremadamente pequeña, aunque el baño estaba mejor que otros muchos que me he encontrado en Londres. el desayuno más bien poco pero correcto. más lejos del metro de lo que parecía en el mapa.

very nice and clean accomodation 4 the English standards employees very polite. 5 minute next to the tube and a big super market close the hotel. I can say that The only one problem is the Quietness of rooms up west cromwell road, The road is very trafficated

Very good experience, quality is good for the money you pay. We went to London other time and the "young hostel" was awfull, and we paid the same!!! Room is comfortable, with bathroom, TV... our room was "twin bed room", the same that you can see in photo in this site. Tube station is near and you have supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, near the hotel too. ------------------------ Comparado con los alojamientos que puedes encontrar en Londres es estupendo, precio económico y dispones de baño propio, TV, secador de pelo... el desayuno es sencillo pero suficiente para los que sólo tomamos un zumo o café (horrible, eso si) y una tostadas o cereales. El personal agradable y el sitio limpio. Bien situado, cerca de la estación de metro (5 min) y de varios museos. También en las calles de alrededor hay bares, restaurantes, supermercados... Lo recomiendo por la relación calidad-precio como turistas que prefieren el dinero para gastarlo en otras cosas. Repetiremos.

Room was musty and needed cleaning; there is a surcharge on credit cards (this was not mentioned previously); although breakfast was included in total price, only toast and one kind of cereal was offered. There was also a surcharge for luggage stored in the hotel before check-in and after check-out. Price was too high for quality of services offered.

The hotel was quite good, and the price absolutely excellent compared to London standards. Only two negative remarks: the room was not perfectly clean (but I think it is not unusual in England) and we had to pay 3,5 pounds more for using the credit card to pay the bill (it never happened to me using venere.com, the declared price had always been the exact one). Anyway, I'd certainly recommend it, to stay in London in a pretty central zone at a very low price.

IN february 3 guys from Denmark, went to London and stayed on West Cromwell Hotel for 3 days. We especially enyojed the animal-theme in our room, which was really good compared to the price we payed. The breakfast was good too, but we found the staff a bit sour, - but maybe this was causedby the rice we put in the toilet:) You can enter the hotel the whole night which we found very good.

The advertised price at the time of the booking was not honoured. The confirmation message came back with a different *more expensive* price. On making an equiry to venere.com staff, I was informed that the Hotel/Venere had had misunderstood the correct tariff for the room. Neither party would accept responsibility, and I was thus charged at the higher rate. One of the reception staff were quiet rude and abrupt. Others were much better. Problem with towel service. Hand towels were provided instead of bath towels! The Hotel charges for luggage storage on checkout. Note, if you travel in a group and stay in multiple rooms, the Hotel will charge you a luggage charge per room, regardless of how many artilces you have. Complimentary Breakfast was of a good standard.

Siamo stati molto bene. La camera era spaziosa e dotata di bagno, di armadio, di una grande finestra, di due ampi specchi, di termosifone autonomo, di tv, di asciugacapelli... insomma, tutto ciò che può rendere un ambiente pratico e confortevole. Anche il bagno era molto spazioso, la vasca era attrezzata anche a doccia, il ripiano per gli accessori personali era comodo e c'era addirittura una stufetta per riscaldare l'ambiente! Il personale è stato gentile e disponibile e la colazione abbondante. Ah, inoltre c'era anche un piccolo ascensore e all'arrivo, dopo 8 ore di viaggio, non dover trascinare le valigie fino al terzo piano è stato bello! La zona è comoda, è fornita di molti negozi, fast-food e supermercati (alcuni dei quali aperti 24h/24) e l'hotel si trova a 5 minuti a piedi dalla fermata della metropolitana. Insomma... lo consiglierei a tutte quelle persone in cerca di una sistemazione modesta in cui alloggiare... io se dovessi ritornare a Londra mi rivolgerei nuovamente a loro.

This stay was the worst we ever had... Check-in was more than 30minutes later than it was told. The service was unfriendly. The room we thought would be a joke! It was so small that we were not able to stand side to side together. The bed was a double, but it was so small... The bathroom was dirty and there were several little animals on the floor. The "continental" breakfast consists of toast with jam or cornflakes. The storage of luggage after checking out costs 5 Pound... We will never visit this hotel again! And if you have the choice: choose anoter!!!

En arrivant à l'hotel nous avons eu peur de tomber sur une chambre bruyante (l'hotel est SUR une grande route)...Mais heureusement les chambres (celle qu'on a eu en tout cas !)ne donnent pas sur la route et c'était très silencieux...Mais ce silence fut de courte durée hélas car vers 5 heures nous avons découvert que nous étions sous la salle à manger ou la cuisine, et le plancher grince beaucoup !!! Sinon, l'accueil est bon, le personnel est sympa, la chambre était grande, mais peut-être pas très propre. Salle de bain : grande et bien, mais évier bouché. Ptit dèj pas très consistant, mais ne pas hésiter à redemander des toasts. Pas mal situé. Pour un petit budget, c'est correcte voire plutot positif dans l'ensemble... si on n'est pas très regardant.

The place was great for its affordable price plus there is 24 hours supermarket, which came in handy. The only bad thing about this 4 level hotel is that it is very small and the elevator only fits 1 person.

I was very disappointed, the room I would not keep a pig in.The windows would not shut and blew freezing air onto my head and neck all night. I was very cold and developed a very bad cold. The wirering was dangerous.the tv had no airial thus no picture.the breakfast wasniether continental or english. in all itwas the worst hotel I have ever stayed. And I have been in the hotel industry for many years. I did not exspect to get much for the price in london. But I would not have exspected this.

Well, you get what you pay for... My room was tiny, but had all the necessary facilities (including a bed spread with leopard patterns). Mildew on the shower curtains, rooms facing street are bound to be noisy and the elevator is VERY tiny (about 2 cubic meters). Very basic breakfast. We had to wake up the receptionist (his room is in the basement) when we wanted to check out (is 8 am early?). But if you don't mind a bit of dirt, noise and slow staff, I guess this place gives value for the money (£ 32 per night), if you're just looking for a place to sleep.

Friendly staff, poor breakfast, small but clean room, electronical equipment needs to be replaced. I had the impression, that I had the special rate of all special rates (45 Pounds) and therefore got the smallest room available in the whole hotel, what at least was o.k. for me as we only needed a room to sleep in during our stay. But this would definitely not be the hotel I'd like to spend my honeymoon with ;-)

For the price we`ve paid there are almost no bad things to say about the hotel. Many people before said that this hotel is very tiny. Our room was very big and nice (clean, 2. floor). But I think we had luck, because there are much tiny rooms and just some big rooms. Unfortunately breakfirt wasn`t that great. There was a real crazy (!!) woman who asked in a bad mood: "Coffee or tea?" and there was just cornflakes and toast to eat (with marmalade and butter, no meat or cheese). You can go by tube (to "Earls Court") and then you have to walk a bit, but I don`t think that it is such a long way to walk (like some people said). Result: like I told before, it is a small hotel but really cheep and so it`s ok because when you are in London, you don`t spend that much there.
