Abcone Hotel  

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.

The staff were friendly and helpful. I really liked the location - walking distance to key attractions/shopping, and very handy to the tube. The hotel room was very comfortable and the bathroom very nicely developed. I was pleased that although close to a main thoroughfare, the room was relatively quiet and on a nice street. I appreciated having access to a phone and hair dryer in the room.

The water was much too hot, at risk of scalding. I had trouble turning the shower faucet down to a reasonable temperature. I was disappointed that the tv reception was so poor. Also, based on the website, I had assumed that the rooms had free wireless and that breakfast was included in the room price.

The location was perfect as we were attending an event at The Royal Albert Hall and The v & a Museum. The Staff were very polite and accomodating

We were given a very large family room which was very nice, however the double bed was in fact a large bed settee which wasn't what we booked. If the description had indicated a bed settee we certainly wouldn't have booked the room. There was a large dark stain on the ceiling where obviously there had been a leak in the room above, a coat of white paint would have eliminated that very easily. The breakfast description boasts organic continental breakfast including muffins. There were no muffins, and only cereal - not organic, and toast, there were a few slices of cheese but no continental meats.

It's location and reasonable price.

Breakfast is very uninspiring.

My sisters and I have stayed at this hotel for several years now and all agree that it is excellent value for money. A great central location in London. The staff at the hotel are always courteous and willing to help in any way. Having breakfast included in the price is a bonus.

Location small hotel

Wifi is not available in the room and this is in contrary to what is mention In the services provided by the hotel.wifi is only available at the reception small area. I was asked to pay for the whole reservation period when I checked in which was not common for reservation thru booking.com .it also prevented me from moving to another more convenient hotel with wifi in the rooms My stay was a real disappointment

The internet didn't work and their was mold and mildew on the ceilings.

Very dirty fitted carpet in the room, smell of cigaret in non smoking room and loudly in the night.

quite, clean, breakfast not huge but enough, bathroom small but clean as well as shower

Its location and the attention of its staff.

The shower's water temperature mixer was not working so the shower would be too cold (at night) or much too hot (in the morning). The bedside reading lights were, both, not working.

Hotel is situated close to the underground station so it is easy to reach any place in the city. Only problem was with hot water, somehow it was difficult arrange the temperature. No air conditioning provided, but no big deal for London in summer months I guess.

Convenient and reasonably priced
