No AC, somehow I missed this part, or it was never shown, so recommend anyone to check the review from the month that you will be traveling. So if you are going in Jun then check the reviews in Jun or July then you might see the no AC reviews. As for me, I booked the trip in the winter month and all the recent reviews didn't mention anything about AC and how warm the rooms can be. However the breakfast is excellent and the AC in the dining room is very strong. Area is very convenient however since the window is wide open, the street noise is unavoidable. Good value if you don't need the AC.

Heat ön the top floor

Döme of the staff was excellent. The afternoon receptionist, a girl whose name I can't recall, was very rude. The seventh floor where we had been accommodated was a human oven too hot and not so clean. When we asked to be moved, the availability for a triple room was low, so we moved the day after our arrival. That night was sleepless.

Great Staff and Liaction, No Air Conditioning

The location, service, staff, restaurant food and bar, are all great. However, The rooms are really outdated and there is no air conditioning, which makes it unbearable hot in the hotel halls and rooms. All you get is a portable fan. It’s a shame, because this hotel has so much potential if they would just make some upgrades.

Room somewhat bijou & very hot. Too noisy outside to open the window. Couldn’t use shower as water much too hot and cold water didn’t seem to reach shower head. Bathroom tap would be better over basin: every hand wash, water went over the working surface

Tavistock Hotel

The reason that I have marked down the hotel so much is that we were on Woburn Place (A4200) side of the hotel. There is no air conditioning so it was necessary to have the window open (the opening was restricted for safety reasons). We therefore did not have the best night's sleep because of the traffic noise and particularly the continual emergency service sirens. The hotel was clean but a little tired.
