The location of the hotel was very good, the area was clean and decent, it was very close to the metro station. It was very good to have the breakfast option, we stayed in the family room for five people, the beds were large, the room was clean, it was so hot that we were overwhelmed at night. Brunel Hotel was a very good choice for us.

Everything in this hotel is small - but in a great way. The rooms are small but comfortable. The elevator is tiny but fun - the kids loved it! Breakfast area is very small, but the staff is SO GOOD at keeping food flowing and keeping tables cleaned/cleared so everyone can sit down. The food was top rate - REAL EGGS which is a rarity in any hotel. We'd absolutely stay again!

Good little hotel

Great location at the end of the Elizabeth line, so made getting into the centre of London easy. Nothing major to complain about. Rooms even with fan on was hot and had to leave window open 24/7. Pleasant and welcoming staff, bag drop off and pick up were excellent. For a 3* hotel though I would've expected an English cooked breakfast to be offered.

It was a good location if you’re interesting in being close to Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace. The facility is old so it made a lot of noise at night and the road it was on was also extremely loud. Only one light worker in the room.

Something to laugh about later

When we arrived, the rooms we booked were not available and the next day they had changed rooms for us without informing us. as with all moves, things got lost in the move. Poor breakfast buffet, the toilet did not flush every time, hardly any water pressure in the shower, water damage in the rooms, extremely much in need of renovation, dirty carpet. A Fawtly tower experience

Basic, unhelpful staff not clean

Hotel was dated, run down booked and paid for a large family room and ended up with a single. On arrival nobody was prepared to do anything about it. Appreciated that it was fully booked but getting the refund was laborious and painful. On check in simple questions were also difficult too. Room was not great, shower head broken, shower not clean enough. For £135 give it a miss!

Deeply disappointed

I was disappointed. I had made the reservation months ago for my family, then tried to cancel minutes later as a Hilton property was the same price. I was denied by property management. But during our stay we had cockroaches in our room. I killed 6 and who knows how many others passed thru. Management was not available except seemingly extreme early hours. No consideration for our discomfort.

Picked this property because they had an elevator in the description and this was critical for me and travel partner. They had a reasonable cost so I booked two rooms for they are limited for two bed options. Very disappointed elevator out of service and no estimate when it would be repaired. Excuse was it was near the holidays (17th Dec) and could not find a repair person. Were there 3 days and did not see anyone attempting to repair. They accommodated us with rooms on the second floor. They also had someone help carry out bags up and down. Did not like having to climb stairs up and down to restaurant and entry area.

It was a Great Stay!

What made my stay great were the staff members of this hotel. On the day of check in, I was advised that the lift is broken and there will be a team member who will take the suitcase up for me. The breakfast was a bonus and enjoyed it. What made such a big difference is the Receptionist Blessita who was very helpful and understanding. 10 minutes prior to check out, my massive suitcase was damaged and I had to buy an emergency suitcase immediately. She accommodated me by extending my check out so I can buy a suitcase. Once I finally checked out she was very kind to offer tea as she can see how stressed I was. Even the housekeeper was very understanding and helpful. Overall, everyone in Brunel Hotel were amazing even the night Receptionist and the guy who brought my suitcase up to the staff in the Breakfast room. My room was cosy and I enjoyed my stay! Thank you! 🙏❤️

Dissapointing

We attended for a family stay and it was great that the hotel had a room to accommodate a family of 5. When we arrived, the staff were friendly, and we were able to check in earlier than planned which was amazing! The hotel itself is a 2-minute walk from Paddington station so excellent for getting out and about in London. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the room, in particular the shower. The Shower door kept coming off the rails which was concerning as we had young children with us. It was however fixed promptly when we highlighted it. The breakfast was extremely disappointing. There were not enough tables for all guests and on one occasion my husband had to take food and sit in the hotel reception to eat whilst 3 of us took food upstairs. We were unable to book a breakfast time slot, so it was luck as to whether you got a seat. A disappointing selection of breakfast food with only eggs and beans as the hot option, alongside pastries and toast. When we were 4 days into our stay, we were advised the hotel had overbooked and requested we move to x2 separate rooms. Unfortunately, this was not suitable, and we had booked this hotel specifically as it accommodated 5 of us in the one room. The hotel blocked our cards, and we were unable to get into our room until we spoke to them which I though was rude and totally unacceptable. We had a great time in London but would not return to this hotel.
