Abcone Hotel  

1° day: no hot water, only cold water. 2° day: only very hot/boiling water. Taking a shower just impossible. Very noisy in the corridor during all nights. Elevator was not working. Very poor breakfast.

Very poor hotel I have stayed in better travelodges

The location of the Abcone was ideal for my confrence, the hotel was clean and staff very friendly. My room wasn't bad although there was a second bed made-up (not sure why!). Very comfy bed too.. Wasn't really anything especially good to say about the breakfast... only offered cereal and toast and you can't go wrong with that.

After reading the many comments from different people, I was not expecting much but I was very pleasantly surprised. We came a little early before check-in time. They had upgraded us to a triple room-2nd floor ,#9 which was nice but it only had a big shower. They found us a bath, room # 23 on the 4th floor, double room but about the same size as the other. For the center of London, the rooms were good-sized. Location is perfect- easywalking distance to the museums and Hyde Park. Many choices of restaurants, pubs, cafes, etc. Really near the Gloucester Underground station. The reception was really outstanding- he really gave many suggestions for where to go, how, etc

The breakfast was minimal with only toast (though all you wanted and they made it for you), cereal (though happy to have Bran flakes) and coffee. It would be nice to have some yoghurt and/or fruit supplied. The tv was very small-- like an old laptop screen except not flat! A lot of wear and tear in the room -light carpets so you really see the stains but clean. Bath nice- I will remember to put in my special comments next time to have one. They should include some more shampoo and bath/shower gel. There was only 2 shampoos and no bath/shower gel and since now we must travel light with a ziplock bag, it is hard to bring those. But even with these comments, all in all it was a great deal and I would come back again.

Everything was as described in their write up; nice Continental breakfast,clean and comfortable room and the location is superb. 2 mins to Gloucester St underground

Needed reminding to replace tea/coffee/sugar etc in bedroom

Location is good, close to the tube and buses, in a quiet neighborhood. Supermarket and restaurants nearby. We got a big (family) room with a good bathroom. Contrary to many of the comments I read, the shower water temperature was easy to regulate through a very convenient thermostatic tap. The price was very good (we booked well in advance).

Wi-fi not available throughout the hotel as announced, it only works at the front desk where room for seating is short... TV is really bad (bad reception, very few channels). Room carpet was stained, but bearable. Breakfast is regular. No "freshly baked muffins and organic breads" for breakfast as announced

Nice location, good budget hotel

Staff were friendly and responded quickly to queries. Extra blanket was provided when asked for. Missing item was followed up with staff apology and explanation given.

The room was very cold. Mattress was old and dipped badly in middle. WIFI was only available at the reception. Toothpaste went missing when room was cleaned - it was explained later that they were understaffed and a porter had cleaned the room instead of the normal person.

Staff friendliness at reception

Dirty carpets

Politeness of staff

Floor carpet was very stained and looked dirty. Crack to washbasin. Signs of mould to tile grouting. Low water pressure to shower. Room radiator did not work (although a small electric fan was provided instead). Basement breakfast area was cold.

staff very helpful

everything else

It's location and reasonable price.

Breakfast is very uninspiring.

Central heating was not working but staff provided a heater which was okay. Carpet in bedroom was very dirty.
