St Ives Vacations from ￥248,529

Premium price for average at best room. Pros Comfortable Bed:The bed was comfortable and featured a brand-new mattress. Amenities:There was a fan provided in the room, along with extra pillows in the wardrobe. Great Tea/Coffee Station: There were plenty of supplies to make multiple cups of coffee or tea. Bathroom Updates:A new shower frame was recently installed, and effort was made to match the new tiles with the rest of the bathroom. Cons Outdated Room: The room felt old and outdated, complete with creaky floorboards. Cleanliness Issues:The room and bathroom needed a much deeper clean. There were stains on one duvet cover, one towel, and the bottom of the shower, as well as visible smudges on the faucet and the desk kettle area. Wear and Tear: The paint was peeling from the inside of the sink, and the new bathroom tiling appeared to have been rushed. Window Defect:The window was old with a stained frame and had a broken security lock, meaning it couldn't be properly secured. --- Overall Summary Best part is access to the Earl's Court station and lot of shops nearby. Generally the room is was what you would expect of older, little worn family house. Not really worth the premium price unless it's your only option. While there were nice touches like a comfortable new mattress, a well-stocked tea/coffee station, and recent shower upgrades, the room overall felt outdated. Improved cleanliness and repairs to the broken window lock are definitely needed.

Hotel is in a great location for Paddington Station. It is clean and reasonably priced.

Room seemed clean but was in need of repair. Floor was coming up. Air conditioning didn't work and tiles grouting was discoloured. Bed was comfortable and clean. The hotel was closed to shops etc, lots of vans and trucks arrived during the night, making it noisy as we had to have windows open as air conditioning didn't work.

This property is spectacular!! A few steps to The Horse Guards , yet quietly tucked away from any noise. We stayed at many properties throughout London, and this is by far the most affordable historical elegance you will find. When we are staying with friends in London, we always stop in for coffee in the morning or a nightcap in the evening. This past weekend when we stayed, we were so impressed with everything about this hotel..

Lovely and amazing staff, always happy to help!! Beautiful clean room, great view, great breakfast options… in room or in the restaurant! Air conditioning and the cutest radio in the room!
