Hotels in de buurt van Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Divine Wisdom (Hagia Sophia) in London

At first we were put in the lower ground - the room was dusty, very small and the window would not open. When we spoke with the manager he moved us and was very accommodating with us - it was a free upgrade which we greatly appreciated and made our trip so much more comfortable. The new room was on floor 3 with a lovely view of the gardens opposite and was very clean. The location really sold this hotel for us - close to 3 stations, great pub on the corner, lots of places to eat in Notting Hill, 10 mins walk from Portobello Rd. The breakfast was not included as advertised, but it did not look appetising to us so we opted to go out rather than pay £7 to eat at the hotel. There are limitless options.

For the first time in my life, I live in the basement! Booked one month in advance, 955 yuan / night, live in the basement! The room is small and the breakfast variety is even less pitiful! The subway is also a 10-minute walk away, and there is debris at the bottom of the room! Not recommended!

It's great value for the location. So easy to walk to Paddington Station, Hyde Park, Notting Hill, Portobello Road, Oxford Street and many other interesting areas. It's close to buses and underground stations and surrounded by cafes and restaurants. The rooms are a bit ”cosy” and some a little dark but perfectly OK especially for short stays. It's clean and the staff could not be more helpful or friendly.

The transportation is very convenient, five or six minutes walk from the subway station, Hyde Park, and Kensington Palace. There are many restaurants nearby, and you can order takeaway, including Chinese food. In addition, the facilities, equipment and services of the hotel are lackluster. In London, this price can only be used in this kind of hotel.

The morning after our first night my friend and I noticed a bug crawling on one of the beds, we continued our investigation and noticed DOZENS of those crawling all over the twin beds we just spent the night in. We were exhausted the night before after coming back to hotel late and after having shower just jumped straight into beds - who would have thought we weren’t they only ones spending night in those beds! Quick research after our findings and we realised that those were BEDBUGS! Never in my life had I come across anything like this before, not even after being a student and staying at questionable hostels! We reported this to the reception and were offered another room. We didn’t move immediately in the morning and made an agreement that we would move in the evening when we would be back to the hotel. Coming back in the evening and reporting to the reception for a new room, we found one of the evening staff being rude to us and questioning if the bedbugs were from their hotel (like what?!?!?!?). Simple, we said, because we had photo and video evidence of bedbugs crawling all over the beds, we said! This quickly ended her argument with us. We then moved to our new room, where there was no obvious evidence of bedbug infestation, however being a reportedly new room, we found hair all over the floor in the bathroom of that allegedly “cleaned” new room. Unfortunately, being an extremely sensitive to cleanness person and following the events of the previous night, I decided to leave early and not spent another night in this disgusting hotel. My friend, who had a flight early next morning however had no chance and spend a little longer and left at 04am. The evening I decided to leave I started coming out in rash, which had only been getting worse ever since. The intensity of the itch is like nothing I’d ever experienced before - it stops me from sleeping, it drives me absolutely mad, no matter how much I try, one can’t look professional when they have bite marks all over their body, including the face, ears, neck, fingers, hands, forearms - ie areas one can’t cover up - and needing to constantly scratch herself! This obviously has affected my work! And the itch is no better even 6 days later!! In fact, the bite marks are now swollen, causing swelling of my fingers, the scratch marks are now bleeding and I am the most irritated I’ve ever been! Let me emphasise, this is six days later and I genuinely don’t know how much longer I’m yet to suffer! I have obviously filed a complaint and have been contacted by the hotel - they are “kindly” offering to compensate the cost of my medication (as I am now on antihistamines - which don’t work really, as I can’t take the stronger type due to its sedating effect, as I have to continue working and driving; as well as steroid cream) and the cost of my dry cleaning. HOWEVER, despite multiple email exchanges and telephone consultations, they are not planning to refund a 100% of our payment, the argument being

Walls were not clean when we arrived and lots of cobwebs on door surface especially around metal frame. We had to check out at 11 so plenty of time for rooms to be cleaned and turned around. Bedclothes are extremely old and worn. They should be replaced as they look like they were bought and in use since the last century, an old relative is only person who I would imagine has such textiles. Beds were very small so again when was the last time furniture was updated. Bathroom was ok but very old shower. Overall the price vs standard of accommodation does not match up and I would recommend only visiting this hotel as a last resort. With more investment, it could be better as the location is quite good.

Excellent hostel in an excellent area, easy access to the tube, clean, helpful staff great value I always choose to stay here when travelling I highly recommend you book it will tick all your hostel boxes

Cannot Beat the location! Everything is right outside the hotel doors. Go left there is the Underground. Go Right there is the bus stop & cab pick up! Food- Recommend walking left outside the hotel and turn another left at the corner. Restaurant row for all types of food, from pub, Italian, Indian, Tai, Chinese and even a small grocer if you want to grab a bite and bring it back to your hotel. Very Reasonable. On the main strip thoase places are extremely expensive! Breakfast- go left outside hotel- RIGHT NEXT DOOR you can have the most AMAZING breakfast made to order while you sit down outside at the cafe. Hotel- Very good- However- be aware if you do Laundry Service- It cost us $134.00 poundst o clean underwear, men's casual shirts , socks, & pants! It was 4 days worth if laundry and it cost more than a dinner out for 2! Hotel staff was ok. They are young and not fully experienced.

Although the hotel gave a small room, about 10 square meters, I turned around and bumped into the furniture, but the sparrow was small and well-equipped, but at the same time it was clean. The front desk staff were very enthusiastic. We asked them to borrow if the charger was not very good. It is also enthusiastic and satisfying. Of course, the price/performance ratio is not comparable to that in China. This is London
