Majestic Hotel - London 51.49471, -0.19044

The hotel, while being in a poor condition, was more or less what we expected from the amount of money we spent there. Its a 4 to 5 minute walk from both Earls Court and Gloucester Road tube stations, both in the sentral part in London. We only spent time sleeping and waking up there, thus we are pleased with our stay. However the maintenance of the rooms was horrible, with dust and dirt on every "non-obvious" place in the room. Sound isolation is also close to non-existant. We were unfortunate to live wall-to-wall with a german party coming home late and waking up way too early that robbed us from quite some sleep. The hotel has a key-policy as to where you leave your key on every departure from the hotel, just to reclaim it when you get back. While this also seems a bit unnecessary, we were surprised when the lady at the counter handed us our keys after we checked out (we came back to claim our luggage before heading off to the airport) without asking for any proof. Summed up its a fair hotel that suits couples traveling there on a tight economy that wants a short traveling route to the city center.

Hotellet bar preg av NULL vedlikehold de siste tyve årene. I sengene var fjerene i maderasse godt på vei opp og ut av maderassen. Ingen form for mulighet for servering, kjøpe noe å drikke, kaffe e.l

Gammelt og nedslitt, mye støy om natten utenfor pga trafikk. Trangt og smalt rom.

Dette hotellet er veldig slitt og har ikke blitt pusset opp på mange mange år. Rommene er generelt sett skitne, men du får rene håndklær hver dag som er et pluss. Du får helt enkelt det du betaler for når du bestiller rom på et 2 stjernes hotell.

The hotel is in a very convenient location however, the reception staff are not overlerly friendly. Not an issue for us as we were only there to sleep & shower so didn't have to deal with them except for checkin and departure.

Not far from metro stations, quiet and nice hotel located in Kensington

The worst hotel I have ever stayed at. We tried to check out when we saw the room. I slept in my clothes. Beds were worn to the springs, gum on the carpet, toilet and shower not working, There are warning signs in room not to drink water and do not leave valuables. Felt like we were in a crack house. DO NOT STAY HERE, EVEN IF IT IS YOUR LAST RESORT!

A Tipical and nice hotel in London... Nothing special, and with a security problem ( they offer and insist in not to leave computers or cameras in the rooms, they don't have any security ) No breakfast included.

Sadly this hotel ideally situated on the Cromwell road is london has seen better days. Carpets, curtains and decor is decayed and frayed. the hotel is largely the reserve of flocks of students who smoke on the sets of the hotel for hours on end.

its nice as located next tobig supermarket. Hoewever its very basic n could hear the voice from next door

The hotel is quite old and not exactly a Marriot.But it's in a very good location and cheap if you just use it as a base for the night

OK for the price but I have one major criticism; the shower was luke warm or even colder on floors 1 and 2. On higher levels people said it was boiling ! The personnel at the entrance was very kind.

Maybe the name 'Magestic Hotel' should have been a clue, because magestic it ain't, by any stretch of the imagination. Check-in was hassle-free, the receptionist was friendly & helpful. A poorly photocopied sign on the desk advised guests not to leave ANY valuables in their room when going out. The hotel will store items for you at no charge. Problem #1: one of the two elevators was out of service, no big deal. On exiting the elevator on the 3rd floor, I was greeted by the dirtiest, most threadbare carpet I've ever seen, and the corridor walls were scuffed, dirty, and hadn't been painted in years. The door to my single room, 309, was dirty, the room was tiny, noisy (the windows didn't close fully - traffic is very heavy 24/7 on the Cromwell Rd), the tv remote was covered in dirt from handling. The tiniest bed in Lilliput, oh sorry, London, was dressed in spotless linens - thank god for some redeeming feature. The bed was, however, up against a dirty wall, like all the walls in the room. The tiny bathroom (ok, I know, this place IS cheap as chips) was clean, with the exception of the taps on the wash hand basin, which were covered in soap, toothpaste, any other goo. The receptionist was happy to store a piece of equipment for me when I went out for the evening, and there were no problems picking it up at check-out.

If it were a hostel it would be acceptable but it is not good value as an hotel. The beds are uncomfortable, the floors are not clean, the bathroom was marginally clean; and I would not want the blankets to touch my body. This hotel is not just old and shabby; it is really grotty and without charm. The only positives are that the staff is very helpful and the location is good. I am a minimalist when it comes to hotels but this one does not meet my basic standards.

This is a very cheap hotel,wouldn,t recomment staying over one night. The beds are hard as a rock. The bed sheets were not changed and had stains on them. Every bone in your body will hurt the next day,that is if you are able to sleep at all. The water is mostly cold, not warm. This holet is very old and needs to be remodeled. Dont take big luggage because the elevadors cant fit more than 4 people. The people were nice, too bad its such a crappy hotel.

Picked hotel for location, close to eateries and tube. the housekeeping was very good, everything very clean, could do with a lick of paint though. staff were friendly and helpful. would stay again, if i only needed abase, out a.m. back for bed. A tea tray would have been nice would take kettle ect. next time

Located near underground, supermarket next door, internet cafe next block,safe neighborhood, restaurant in hotel and many others along street. Building is old and rather run down but room was clean and staff was friendly and very helpful when I had a problem.Elevator, TV, phone, private bath--only thing I missed was a hot pot in room to make tea.

My cousin and I stayed for 1 night. Room was small, lifts were small, supposed to be 24 hours reception, we came back in at 10 pm to collect our keys and it took 10 mins to find someone to help us. Paint was peeling off the walls and ceiling in the bathroom.

We went to London for sightseeing purposes only. This hotel is within easy access to public transport and sights you must see. Staff in very friendly and helpful. Hotel is old and need a makeover, but still its clean and good comfort.

Very affordable price but some of the staff were not the most welcoming. Were more interested in talking on the phone. Cleaning staff tended to come in without knocking and weren't very friendly. Clean room though and comfortable bed. Good for the price but could improve on service.

Seriously it was ok, but needed a lick of paint and I could have done with the dirty towels behind the bathroom door from a previous occupant being removed from time to time for an airing. The shower trickled and I ran about but didn't get very wet. Well situated for the tube, supermarkets and fast food outlets. Would go again, if only to see if those towels have moved yet.

The Majestic is very old, looks very shabby and needs a complete overhaul both in and out. The building is crumbling, the carpets are threadbare and everywhere needs refurbishing. The rooms were small but clean and convenient.

The Majestic Hotel is in a very good area, restaurants around, supermarkets, train station, you can not beat the location. And please don't forget this is a two stars hotel, but I thought when a hotel is two stars that means they don't provide the accommodations like a four or five stars hotel, I did not know that means the place will look so old and everything inside will be looking like is an antique. The shower did not worked good, in a various spots on the ceiling in the hotel you can see the water accumulations, the furniture inside looks like 100 years old and not in a good sense. The staff were good but when you get a big disappointment like I did, it brings you down but like I said, you get what you paid, I guess.

We realised that the hotel would be very basic considering the low cost and location (Kensington & Chelsea) but expected it to be clean and comfortable. We had very springy beds with stained (although clean) bedding. The bath had clearly not been washed and one could see daylight through the bathroom wall! We had not paid for breakfast in advance and so decided to have some and pay afterwards. I had basic cereals which were fine but my partner's 'cooked' breakfast was terrible. Cold mushrooms, no beans or tomatoes and one sausage and bacon. The worst thing was the springy, deep fried cold egg! We complained but were still charged £6.50! We are not fussy eaters but it looked entirely unappetising. We were glad to spend only one night there and were surprised if this hotel has been checked by Hotels.Com and founf acceptable by them.

This hotel is dingy, dirty and not worth the money. The fixtures in the room are old, the water in the shower was not hot and the balcony doors were broken so don't even think about standing on the balcony. Stay away from this flea bag.

London is extremely expensive and it's hard to find modestly priced hotels, but this inexpensive hotel is to be avoided. It's the first place I've stayed in where I felt my room would be broken into. The place is threadbare, shoddily built, and barely clean. The staff were actually rather nice, but that was a small compensation for the general ickiness of the place. The only thing to recommend it is its location, which was convenient for my needs, but otherwise this place is a must-avoid.

The hotel is in a good location, being within 15 minutes' walk of Gloucester Road Tube and hence direct connections to Heathrow and King's Cross. It's also right next to a large Sainsbury's, with a Waitrose and a 24 hour Tescos close. However its location and cheapness are about the only things going for it. The hotel in general is grotty, with worn carpets, peeling paint, and creaking floorboards. I had a single room, which was stuffy (though I could open the window) and had no amenities apart from the TV. The bathroom was small and the shower temperature never got above lukewarm (I don't mind that, but others would). Toilet roll, soap, and towels were provided but no other toiletries. Annoyingly, there were no surfaces (except the floor) on which to put shampoo, soap, etc when you were in the shower. If I'm staying in this area, I'd normally go for the Park International a few hundred yards closer to Gloucester Road but it was fully booked. Though the Majestic was poorer on all counts, its location was still good and the cost low, so I would consider staying here again if the Park Intl was unavailable.

The hotel was not very clean at all. Our room was boiling hot. I stepped back into the radiator, touched it for barely a second and burnt my leg! Both my boyfriend and I woke up in the night sweating many times. Was far too hot for even a sheet. No coffee/tea making facilities. No drinking water avaliable and considering the heat in the room, water was a must!

The hotel was in a great part of town and near the Tube, but this is where the positives end. The rooms were tiny, the bathrooms were tiny, the carpet was ripped everywhere, and apparently the internet rate on hotels.com didn't include breakfast. It caters to European teenage groups, who tend to stay up until 02:00 a.m. banging doors and talk loudly through the paper-thin walls. I stayed there because it was cheap but in the end I got no sleep. Spend a little extra cash and go somewhere else.

The hotel is a bit shabby, and the rooms weren't exactly sparkling, but it is reasonable for those on a budget looking for somewhere to come back to after a night out. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location made getting around simple with the nearby tube station. Recommended for a one night stay, possibly 2, but no more than that due to the bathroom, which was not as clean as I would have liked. Not dirty as such, but it had a feeling of grubbiness.

The hotel is located close to two tube stops, near Hyde Park, and has many decent places to eat and food shop. The actual hotel, on the other hand, is lacking in everything. The room was small, not an issue for one person, the TV was even smaller :-), the bed was hard as a rock. Don't, under any circumstances, let them put you in a room facing Cromwell Rd. If you are used to quiet, you'll be kept awake all night-the traffic never dies down. There is no internet access in the room, and the Internet lounge was down. The clerks at reception did not know how to smile. They were friendly enough-just enough to answer basic questions, but no personality whatsoever. The window opens-a little-and it was so warm in the hotel, I had to look outside to see what people were wearing to figure out how to dress. Basically, I felt like I was in a large coffin. Luckily, I was not in the room for long. I stayed out as long as I could and I was out by 9:30 AM. There is also a notice that if you have large items, like computers, to take them with you as they are not responsible if they are stolen. This didn't fill me with security. I wasn't about to sightsee all dat lugging my laptop along. Anyway, if you are on a budget and just need a place to crash, then this is OK. If you want ANY type of amenity, stay away.

This hotel was falling apart. In some areas the carpet was worn down to the wood beneath. It was dirty. Every where posted were signs indicating to not leave any valuables in your room. Beds were hard as rocks and I wondered if the sheets had even been changed. It wasnt worth saving money to stay in a place like that.

Excellente situation de l'hôtel, près du métro, 3 lignes à disposition pour aller très vite sur tous les grands points de Londres. Le bémol concerne le confort. La chambre et la salle de bain sont petits, mais les cloisons sont très fines et si des enfants ou ados s'amusent la nuit dans les couloirs, il est impossible de fermer l'oeil... La moquette est archi usée et les rideaux poussiéreux. Par contre, le matelas est neuf et de très bonne qualité ! Quand on dort, on dort bien !

Wir waren zwar nur Nachts im Hotel, aber trotzdem super :) Wir kommen wieder!:)

hotel bien situé, accueil convenable, confort des lits trés mauvais, isolation phonique trés mauvaise, propreté à desirer

allt of dýrt miða við gæði og ástand hægt að finna mun betra fyrir sama pening

das gesamte Hotel muss dringend renoviert werden-innen wie aussen.Das Preis-leitungsverhältnis ist nur wegen der relativ günstigen Verkehrslage annehmbar und kurze Nächte.

J'ai trouvée inadmisible, pas un seule interprete, pas une personne qui parle le français ou l'espagnol de nos jour ce rare dans un hotel, embauches des personnes qui parlent une autre langue, on a du aller chercher une famme de chambre pour faire l'interprete quel honte pour vous , la fille qui eté a la reception deverais faire les chambres et la fille bi-langue deverais rester a la reception, heuresement quu'elle eté la pour nous guider.

Cet hôtel est bien situé, pratique ,le personnel trés aimable et pas trés cher. Mais en revanche il est un peu bruyant pour peu que votre chambre donne sur la rue et surtout la chambre single que j'ai eu était trés petite, le lit aussi. L'impression général est trés viellote!

Zentral, Preisgünstig mit eigenem Bad und wenig komfort

Hôtel très bien placé mais assez vieux, la moquette est usée, la douche fonctionne pas très bien mais les chambres sont propres, calmes et le personnel avenant. Je pense que c'est bien pour un trip entre amis, mais pour le romantisme ça laisse à désirer...

Hotel assez vétuste, sans double vitrage, matelas un peu dur.la télé a eu un peu de mal à fonctionner. Points positifs : bien situé car proche de deux stations de métro et pres du centre. la station de métro que l'on a prise desservait trois lignes qui menaient aux sites les plus touristiques, zone 1 en métro. Dans l'ensemble, cela convient pour un court séjour car souvent en vadrouille, mais pas sur du long terme. je ne sais pas si j'y retournerai pour l'hotel en lui meme, mais plus pour la situation géographique.

Bon rapport qualité/prix, hôtel qui a viellit, cela se voit aux peintures et moquettes. Literie très propre, pas très loin du centre et des moyens de locomotions.

Hotellet ligger bra till med nära till Picadilly-linjen (tunnelbanan). Ett minus var att vi ine kunde boka rum med frukost, men det finns flera frukostställen runtomkring. Personalen var trevlig och uppmärksam. Vårt rum var rent men hade insyn från annat rum, vilket kan uppfattas som besvärande. Där fanns bara ett elurtag och duschen var (som ofta i London) nästan helt utan vattentryck.

Nous avons passé une bonne nuit, cependant le personnel ne parle que anglais, la propreté laisse à désirer ainsi que l'odeur dans la salle d'eau. Pas de chaine étrangère à la télévision et quelqu'un a ouvert la porte de la chambre le matin lorsque nous étions encore couché...!

Bien situé (entre deux stations de métro), chambres propres et pas chères.Très rare de trouver un hotel à ce prix là avec salle de bain !

Et meget spartansk hotel,men rimeligt til prisen.Godt sted for os der blot skal ud og opleve London.og bare sove der.Ville gerne ha haft morgenmaden ink.i prisen men vi fandt en anden løsning.Det var en kanon personlig service og de var meget hjælpsomme med alt.Vi kunne godt finde på at komme igen.

hôtel bien situé, métro direct de St Pancras réception tout à fait correct chambre hyper chauffée, sanitaires et literie propre quartier agréable

Fint, billigt hotel tæt på centrum. Kan vist ikke fås billigere! Dog er morgenmaden ikke noget at råbe hurra for - anbefaler klart at finde en cafe i centrum!

l aspect vieillot de l hotel n est pas tres appreciable. les moquettes sont tres usees. les rideaux salles. la fenetres cote rue n est pas etanche, le bruit de la circulation est dans la chambre. les hotesses a l acceuil sont gentilles mais ne peuvent pas nous renseigner sur des questions basiques.
