This is a character-limited review. My family recently stayed in room 204 at the Best Western Greater London, from July 7-11. You could miss it, as it blends in so easily with its neighbourhood. Its frontage is combined with neighbouring shops. Having mostly traveled in Canada and the US, the room was small compared to our "usual" (but fully as-described). We managed with the available space. No matter the time of day, the friendly staff was ready to help with needs like keeping items cool or frozen for us (the rooms don't have mini fridge/freezers). One of the team (a manager?), Gonzalo, even personally came to handle a couple of small problems with the Wi-Fi and an unexpected odour from the toilet. They also stored our bags on our last day, so we could tour unencumbered. A small issue notable in the room is that quite a few plastic screw covers have been broken, but not replaced. I hope they'll fix that soon. It's mostly an aesthetic issue, but clean, smooth surfaces tend to look nicer than broken caps, covers, etc. More inconvenient is the lack of sufficient shelf space in the washroom. I kept my toiletries bag on the window ledge, but was constantly worried it would fall out of the downward-facing window. This was also the first time I had ever experienced a hotel without air conditioning. Once again, we knew this when we booked. Overall, BW Greater London was nothing MORE, nor less than I would expect from the Best Western nameplate. I can easily recommend it.

Satisfactory

Staff and service was very good and friendly and prompt check in. It was a hot day and night and the fan in the room was essential in the absence of air-con. Breakfast was terrible so don't bother with that. Otherwise it was a good stay and convenient for the Elizabeth Line.

The stay was terrible, I did not wanted to stay in the hotel at all and regretted my decision. Giving it 2 star only because of the customer service, the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. The rooms were extremely sub standard, and we had to change two rooms. The previous rooms did not have working lamps and had a bad smell. Breakfast was not worth having due to very limited options and even the food was not fresh and felt like tinned food. This hotel should not be associated with Best Western in my opinion or rectify their hotel star rating to 2 star.

The first room we were given was insanely small, dated & hot and only had fan that went to medium speed alongside a tiny window for ventilation. So we went to reception asking for our money back as we were not comfortable staying at the hotel. However the employee Icrah (apologies if spelt incorrectly or not correct name I can’t remember fully) was most helpful when went downstairs to query about a refund. She showed us 5 other alternative rooms until we were satisfied it was suitable for us & even gave us extra fans and brought up the new keycard to the room for us. For the price it does the job & is extremely however I would only recommend if all you plan to do is sleep there and not spend free time there as it is not the most comforting place to be.

There was no parking at this hotel but was provided with parking just round the corner at their sister hotel. On the whole a nice hotel that I would definitely stay at again if in the area.

Plenty of shops, cafes and restaurant around plus the hotel has one in the foyer Lovely, attentive staff. Nothing is too much to ask.

Avoid if you are traveling by car

We arrived to find the Hotel on a busy London road with no place for vehicles to stop for a few hundred yards at least. I double parked at risk in order to run in and ask where their parking is, I was directed to a sister property a couple of blocks away. I arrived there to find no parking either but an employee moved their vehicle so that we could park. I had emailed prior to my arrival and was reassured that there would be a parking space. The hotel was clean and in good condition. Our room was hot so we opened our windows for some fresh air. We had a flight early next am so went to bed at 930pm for a 445am wake up. We listened to the people in the next building talking and yelling till about midnight along with the tv in the next room. At 430am we had someone walking around upstairs loudly but we were on the top floor, I suspect it might be living quarters for the staff? We slept terrible and it made for an extremely long day today with our travel. In addition the traffic noise was non-stop but we were unable to close our windows due to the room being very hot.

Manager is efficient and fair with dealing with issues. For example, I’d asked for someone to remove a dirty old pair of underwear that was on the landing outside my window which was dealt with swiftly! I was also considering furthering my stay and he explained options clearly. On Expedia it did say “access to a nearby indoor pool” this was not the case and disappointed my 13 year old son somewhat as he loves to swim! I did not like the breakfast I’d brought from the cafe. Enjoyed the fresh orange juice. However the buffet breakfast which I saw in the morning did look nice. I really loved the placement and some of the designs of the mirrors around the hotel. Also, there were other design elements I liked. Overall decent stay. Thanks

My booking made via Expedia was cancelled and I was not notified, but the manager on duty was helpful. However I had to pay a £100 deposit which was not part of my original booking. Lets just say do not expect much from the hotel a lot work needs to be done and the cleanliness is extremely poor, lots of dead bugs in the corners and the room carpet was disgusting.
