Room was really clean but a little tired. Rules were loose in the bathroom and the shower was held up with sticky tape. The staff were really friendly and professional and the location is great for RAH. Bed was nice and comfy which is the most important thing!!

They put me in a basement with moldy walls,moths in the room,old carpet and furniture. They said they couldn’t change it due to hotel fully booked. The receptionist was nice though. And the area is amazing. This is the worst room I have ever been by far, for $200!!!. The bathroom was the only renovated thing.

Although the rooms were clean the bathroom sink had a crazed crack in it. The shower was not very powerful. Only one bath towel per person was provided no hand towels. It would have been nice to have had a full length mirror even if it had been inside on the wardrobe door. There was no tea/coffee/milk available in the rooms but this could be picked up in reception

A bit dowdy and dreary

Reception area was modern and inviting but our room didn't live up to the promise. Dreary room 82 was on the lower ground floor. Small and had a door opening onto a small outside space which was filled with a noisy aircon system for the hotel. The worrying thing was other doors opened into this space, and the internal bolt on our room door was totally inadequate. There was no key operated lock on this door. There was a hair on the duvet cover. The bed was very low and had something broken inside it so that when you turned over there was a noisy clonk. The large wardrobe had only 5 hangers. So much space, so little of it useful. The best thing about the room was the hairdryer. Unlike most it was underpowered and therefore easy to style my short hair. If you've got long hair, you wouldn't like it. Can't comment on breakfast, we bought some cheaper bits from the nearby Waitrose. It was convenient for the Royal Albert Hall, but we wouldn't stay here again.
