The Georgian

Backpacker hotel advertised as 3 star hotel. BEWARE. I will never book with Expedia again.‎ Hotel description and reality did not match.

The room was so small it was not possible to open the suitcase and the closet at the same time. The closet smelled like ded rats.

It was not possible to lock the hotel room door from the inside and the security chain was broken.

The private bath was across the corridor and had the same room no as our room. Very embarrasig to go to the toilet at night in your nighties. There was mould in the shower one very small bar of soap for two persons 3 nights and only two towels for two persons, that is no towel for hands and face.

The hotel description said Hair dryer, was no hair dryer. The hotel description said free bottled water in the room, was no bottles of free water. it was a bit intimidating to go to breakfast with dripping hair every morning.

In October the heating was on, could not turn it off which meant that we were grilled like tandoori chickens during the night. The bed was very close to the window so there was a tornado draft when we tried to get a more endurable temperature in the room.

The staff was incredibly slow, had to wait for 10 minutes before they answered the doorbell when we arrived in the afternoon.

Breakfast was advertised as very good by the hotel manager: a few slices of toast, marmelade, cheese and ham. Orange juice was served in 3cl glasses known as small schnapps glasses at home. Tea or some sort of brew, brownish, tasted less then the tea.(coffee?) Milk and cornflakes. Eggs either very hard boiled like rubber or hardly boiled at all.

The only good thing was the location.

So in all; I think the hotel description at the Expedia site was very overstated and far from reality and the hotel should be taken away from the Expedia site or rating lowered to two stars. Could possibly be OK for backpackers at a much lower rate.

Booked a room at this hotel online as the pictures of the family room looked so nice to visit london, the room was so bad that i was not willing for the family to stay there for one minuet longer so booked elsewhere but when i complained to the manager about the room being so bad he said that they had a 48 hour cancellation and would not be returning my £122

The room was dark and gloomy, it had a light socket falling of the wall above one of the childrens bed which was the start of a crack that went up the wall and over most of the ceiling we didn't go in the bath room as it was so bad and when we tried to entertain the kids while waiting for new hotel the television didn't even work

We booked into the Hilton metropole which cost £174+Vat but included dinner, breakfast and we used the pool please do not stay at Georgian they are just ripping people off that dont see these reveiws

Do not stay at this hotel! Filipinos receptionist is rude, they charge you too much for what they offer, breakfast is terrible and plastick. I saw menager and his wife playing cards in the office or guy was sleeping when I came. Breakfast girl and cleaner are fine but rest...do not think do not stay at this hotel!
