Royal Cambridge Hotel  

What didn't I like about the place and why I won't stay there again! One positive factor - the room was quite large.

Book in time was 2pm. I arrived a little before 2pm and gave the receptionist a £5 tip but requested she text me when my room was ready, as I was running late for a business meeting and needed the room to drop my bags. No text was forthcoming. At 2.15pm I went back to the hotel to see what was up. Without any acknowledgement, the receptionist handed me the key to my room, obviously forgetting the request I had made and the tip for the courtesy. This one must get tipped quite frequently. Once in the room one notices that the bed is so far away from the minute tv hanging on the wall at the other end of the room you may as well be listening to a radio. But, then you realise, the television is so far away, you can't even pick up the sound on the damn thing either! Let it be known this room has a problem with it's sewerage pipes. I let the receptionist know (the same girl from the day before, so who knows if she actually did anything) that the bathroom absolutely wreaked of an extremely foul sewerage smell that also emanated into the main bedroom, even if you closed the bathroom door and could very easily be a health hazard. It was terribly nauseating. I stayed in room 202, so I do not know whether it was just this room or the entire building with a similar pipe problem. This hotel is far from great and certainly does not live up to it's £99 tariff. I will not be returning.

the location is fine and there are opportunities to park your car either on the hotel parking spaces (which have been reserved for some not known guests although we have first been told that no upfront reservations are possible), or on the parking slots of the neighbouring hotels which also offer some parking spaces for the same money (10 £ per night which is very reasonable). The breakfast was a typical UK low cost breakfast with beans, some ugly sausages, boiled eggs, cornflakes and jam for toasts.The breakfast was the best thing (besides the location) in the hotel... the staff was friendly.

The hotel is rubbish. An awful nightmare for those who expect it to be a "hotel". The rooms are old, very old and ugly. We had a room in the cave with no windows! The bathroom was dirty and full of black mold! The temperature of the water in the shower did not satisfy a reasonable demand for hot water. We have even found a small box with poison against rats behind the table in the room. However, if you only use the hotel as a sleeping area after an exhausting sightseeing and partying, then it might be fine although way to expensive for the "quality" offered.

There is absolutely nothing good about Royal Cambridge Hotel. We were verily disappointed at what we saw on ground campared to what we saw on the Internet. We really regreted ever booking the Hotel. It was nothing to write home about. It was nothing close to a 3 Star Hotel, we don't know how on Earth it was rated a 3 Star, the Hotel is a write off and a total Disappointment. We don't recommend it to anyone.

The location was perfect, really near to the station, the rooms were big, the TV and all the fliclialtes were new and very good, the price was amazing

Staff were very helpful and cheerful.Room 10 was spacious and a blessing to have air conditioning. Fantastic location with shops and great eateries round the corner. Fantastic location - will definately stay again !!

Dont change a thing !

The location is excellant for those wishing to go shopping at Oxford Street as it is just 10mins walk. Also paddington Station is just 5mins walking distance from the Hotel. Reception staff is so friendly and helpful especially one young lady... she was so sweet with us. Regarding the cleanliness of the room, I must say that the sheets were really white and clean. This is most important for me. Also, central heating is just perfect.

The breakfast could have been much better. Just cereal, boiled eggs, baked beans, sausages and toast! A wider selection would give visitors a much better impression of the hotel, after all it is not veryyy cheap. Moreover, room attendents do not do their work properly, just lay the bed and thats it. Not even placing two more bath soaps for the evening or pick up any papers from the floor!!!

Rooms where great, breakfast was good, staff friendly.

Got locked out trying to get in from a night out..hehe. Probably just bad timing.

Location was good

Room was tiny, nothing like the pictures of the room on the website

The breakfast could have be a little better, maybe some ham and cheese...

The hotel is close to the Shopping Haven I.e the Oxford Circus. It is infact a walking distance to shopping area. Apart from that, for Muslim, there are quite a number of halal restaurants around the area.

The room was quiet, a bit warm, but the bed was comfortable.

The carpet needed a good clean though.

Good sized room, helpful staff, great value for money.
