Notting Hill Gate Hotel

Weekend with me son

Not great not bad. Remember this hotel would not have been acceptable if you were back home but this is London. For London this was a good hotel. In London, do not expect large hotel rooms unless you want to pay a lot of money. The sinks were the smallest sinks I have seen anywhere in the world. For me, location is most important and this hotel was only a 5 minute walk to the tube or underground. Once on the tube, only a 15 minute ride to Westminister. All the staff were friendly however do not expect to meet any native "English" people working at the hotel. All were foreign, speaking foreign languages, but they all spoke English and were very friendly and accommodating. It made me want to go visit Romania. The big PLUS about this hotel was that there was a front desk open 24 hours. I found this to be very helpful. The only negative thing may be particular only to my room was that there was a big hole in the floor and may be dangerous at night going to the bathroom. I can't imagine that all of the rooms have this. I do not know how to describe this hole but I took a photo of it (see below) as it was the strangest thing I have ever seen. In the hallway from the bedroom to the bathroom there is a a hole or more like a step down box area of about 2 feet which can be really dangerous at night. It is probably only in my room but as a result I did request for a change of room. It would not prevent me from recommending this hotel.

Very nice and pleasant. Sadly no Vegan breakfast choices.

Basic hotel but you know that going in. In an excellent location. Plenty of shops, places to eat near by. Public transport only a short walk away. Rooms are clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast is adequate. It's not 5 star but for the price I will definitely stay here again. Excellent value for money.

Tiny room, access to the bed form only one side, 5 flights of stairs (no lift)
