Cheshire Hotel  

location

i booked the hotel because of the location and the price - normal price for a double £350, special offer £90. i was offered a pokey little bedroom with several holes in the carpet and an unflushed loo. when i said that was a bit poor i was given the keys to a room that was already occupied! i ended up in the first room. i would never, ever stay in this hotel again and would never ever recommend it to someone coming to london. this was shocking. i cannot believe the standard price of a double room at the cheshire hotel is £350.

The hotel was very well situated for shopping and getting around, with the Tottenham Court underground central line right around the corner. Only a few minutes walk to either the shops on Oxford Street or the nightlife of Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus. We Will Rock You theatre was just around the corner, along with Garfunkals and Cafe Rouge, and bars just a few steps further. Good location. Hotel looks good from the outside and a nice reception area with seating. Shower worked well, plenty of hot water. Comfy enough bed.

The room was absolutely tiny - the smallest room I've ever stayed in and it was quite claustrophobic when two people are both trying to get dressed and ready to go out. If you were staying for more than a few days you would definately need more storage space for clothes. The miniscule wardrobe was virtually full already with an upright fan and luggage holder, but absolutely nowwhere else to put it as there was only just about enough room to get around the bed. (one at a time) . Disappointed that there was no bar in the hotel or even minibar, so just a place to sleep only. Lift was very 'tired' and seemed to pause for a rest at every floor. Would ask for a suite next time if the price was right as the size of the room was the only concern

The locations was good as far as being able to walk to Conventy , some theatres,and the west end.

Facilities were antiquated. The area was extremely noisey, both with vehicle traffic and pedestrian noise, well into the early morning hours. Not one person in our group was able to get a good nights sleep for any of the time we stayed there. If you can afford better, please do.

Very nice exterior, and pleasent staff.

The smallest room we ever stayed in. Although clean, the carpet was threadbare, the window blind looked like a piece of rag, and the bathroom threashold tiles were broken, too dangerous to walk in bare feet, overall the room was extremely tired and worn. If this is a 3* hotel, I would hate to think what a 1 or 2* would be like. Extremely dissappointed. Certainly not worth £145 per night.

Very friendly staff. Excellent location.

Some things starting to break in the room. Shower was dodgy and could be fixed with a new hose. Why hasn't it been done already? Iron leaking water. Why hasn't it been repolaced already? Blinds broken. Why haven't they been fixed already? For a few pounds and less than 30 minutes all of these small details could be fixed and the room would be perfect!

It was close to the Dominion Theatre.

The room was adequate for our needs for the one night. However, the bath was badly fitted and had a hole in the panel; the wall paper was peeling and was generally very tired. It was not worth the £110 that we paid for it. Wouldn't use it again.

We found the room to be dark and depressing, plus the window blinds needed attention.

I chose the hotel because of price and location. In London all hotels are stupily priced. The room was very glum. I asked for a room at the front, so got one at the back overlooking a dirty yard. There weren't even proper curtains in the room and nothing to make it look bright. Bright curtains and bedding would not cost the earth!The breakfast was good but service not so good. Scrambled egg was boiled egg cut into squares!There was no relaxing area to sit and night and have a drink.

Very disappointed with this hotel. The room was ok but a bit dark and small, but that would have been fine, given the rate and the excellent location right next to the British Museum; except 1) main light bulb needed replacing when I arrived, 2) the bath panel had three large holes in the side and was badly cracked, the floor was not very clean and the sink drained very slowly. 3) But worst of all I discovered 6 insect bite around my waist in the morning - resumabley either fleas or bed bugs. I was going to write to the hotel today as I returned from London late last night.

Only the location i.e proximity to theatre.

Room furnishings scruffy. Lamp not working. Bath not clean around shower screen.Room opposite lift which kept us awake. Kettle flex and plug in dangerous condition wiyh exposed wire.

The hotel location is fantastic & the staff are friendly.

The carpet in our room had several large threadbare patches, the window would not close & the blind was broken. The bath panel had 2 holes in it & the water leaked from under the shower screen all over the bathroom floor, the bathroom ceiling had black damp mould on it. The bedroom furniture was very tatty & dated & the bedroom itself was really small. The hotel is quite run down which is a shame as from the outside it looks good. The whole place needs renovating or the carpets & furniture replacing as a minimum. I would not stay there again in its present condition!

Not much! It was a good location

The hotel was old and shabby. There was no bar even though it was indicated. Our room was right by reception and looked onto the pavement .Only a very poor blind at the window which was either down or up or on the floor. Breakfast was appauling and very slowl to appear. The room was a dark basement and people were complaining about the lack of heat. There is much wrong!!! Not good value at all
