London Borough of Harrow Holidays from AU$2,710

Great hotel for business or pleasure if you require a location near Westminster, Buckingham Palace, the Tate Modern and others. Not an inexpensive place, but the location is perfect for many. And it's worth it.

Thank you for a lovely stay

We had an issue arriving to London. I tried to contact the hotel but the phone number wasn't working so I sent a message informing we would be arriving the next day and wanted to confirm our reservation was held for us and that our room would be ready in the morning. I received no response. Upon arrival we were told that the hotel was sold out and a room was not yet available for us (even though we had paid for the previous night). We had to check our luggage at the front desk. When we returned that evening I explained the situation and asked for a credit for the previous night since we had pre-paid for a room that should have been available to us. We were told by the front desk that our reservation was good and that what we said wasn't true. Very disappointed to be accused of making something up and if our room had been available to us then why would we have had to check at our luggage at the front desk rather than putting them in our room? I would like to AGAIN request a credit back for the night we were charged.

At this property, there is no front desk (which may present challenges for travelers desiring a hands-on hospitality experience) however the host is responsive to emails and the cleaning staff was always willing to help with any questions. The property is very close to Russell Square, the British Museum and other great spots in the Bloomsbury neighborhood. Although the rooms are on the small side, they are clean, modern and comfortable. The property also offers free washer/dryer services which is a great touch.

We were supposed to receive check in information 24 hours in advance. When we never received it I had to contact the property 3 times before they sent the codes. The room was supposed to have a’sleeper sofa’ - what it had was a cot that took up what little space we had and meant we had no comfortable place to sit. The room was incredibly noisy with constant foot falls and racket from the room above.
