Typical
Customer Reviews
Below are some fairly typical reviews from customers that have stayed
at the Blakemore Hotel Bayswater. They are independent viewpoints
and not necessarily the view of this web site.
"Upon arrival at the hotel I was relieved to find the exterior
of the hotel and the reception area looked smart and welcoming. A
room on the ground floor was allocated, and going through to a corridor
we were met with the smell of fresh paint and new carpet. It would
seem we were given an executive room which had recently been refurbished.
It was very clean and reasonably well appointed with good quality
fixtures and fittings, and comfortable beds. I am told that the shower
was good and that they got a good nights sleep! The room was equipped
with air conditioning (though not necessary in November), TV, trouser
press, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, and a safe. Despite the
room being very small there were a total of three phones! The bathroom
seemed quite new and also very clean - no mould or other nastiness.
The view from the room was the only bad point - a wall only a few
feet from the window.
The twin room was small but big enough for two people to move around
and to unpack their luggage, and the wardrobe was huge so good for
an extended stay. The location is reasonably good - a 5-10 minute
walk to Paddington, Lancaster Gate or Bayswater tube stations, and
only a few minutes to Bayswater road where frequent buses will take
you to most places you'd want to go."
"We stayed in a twin room for four nights. The hotel was very
good value for money. Our room was on the 5th floor, and was of good
size. There were no disturbances from neighboring rooms or the street,
and the staff was friendly. Our only critisism of the price of GBP
9,90 for the english breakfast and that some of the interior in our
room was a bit dated. We were very satisfied with our stay and would
love to come back"
"The hotel staff seemed to be quite friendly and sometimes even
joked with us. They seemed to know where everything was in England
as well. The room was quite spacious although there is no air conditioning
in the rooms, but they do provide fans which we found to be a nice
little touch. The bathrooms looked a bit old fashioned, but this is
to be expected of an older building. I liked the fact that when I
put up the "do not disturb" sign on the door, the cleaning
staff left us new towels and a roll of toliet paper right outside
our door.
There is a restuarant and a bar in the hotel. Both are a bit pricey
but nice if you just want to relax and don't feel like walking anywhere.
The food isn't that bad either. The restuarant seating is quite small.
Luckily, we never really had to wait for a table. There's only one
main girl working the bar and the restaurant (which included cooking
the food) which we felt sorry for her as it would get quite busy in
the restuarant/bar, and she'd do her best to make everyone happy.
On our last night there, another girl came to help, but she didn't
know English too well. The staff are all foreign, but all seemed to
know English with the exception of the forementioned girl. The location
is good as it's about a 1 - 2 minute walk from Bayswater Tube Station,
and there are some good restuarants close by. The
downside of the hotel is that there is only one lift throughout the
whole hotel...actually, there are 2, but one is for the staff only.
The lift takes ages to reach you, but again, this is an old building.
Another
downside is that if you're a smoker, there are no smoking rooms. All
have become non-smoking since July. My boyfriend and I smoke, so we
always had to go outside to smoke. They do have ashtrays as well as
picnic benches outside.
If
you're a light sleeper, be prepared to be awoken by the cars which
go by at every hour of the night. I didn't think it was too bad though,
and I'm a light sleeper. The only thing that woke me up was that the
next building was having some construction work being done to it,
and it all started up at 6 am. Needless to say, we couldn't get back
to sleep.
The
breakfast was alright. It wasn't good tasting nor was it bad tasting.
For £4 a person, you can get a full English breakfast but all
rooms come with a continental breakfast which consists of breads and
cereal and juices/coffee. We never had to wait for a table at breakfast,
but we noticed that a queue had started to form after we had started
eating. The staff did clean the tables as fast as people were done
eating though."
