Fox and Goose Hotel

We stayed at this hotel to watch the NFL match at Wembley. It is in a great location, just two minutes walk from the Hanger Lane tube station and right next to the bus stop for the 83 bus which runs every few minutes and stops at the Wembley Stadium and Arena.

On arrival we were checked in by friendly staff. We were a little early so they happily stored out luggage for us while they got the room ready. The rate was also very good compared with some London hotels...you usually end up with shoebox of a room for the price we paid but we had a spacious room, a huge bathroom and both were spotlessly clean. Really comfy bed also a bonus. Sky Sports on the TV as well so great for catching up with the footie when we got back at the end of the day. Just a little noise from the traffic but then we are from a very rural area so perhaps noticed more. Nothing excessive by any means.

Breakfast was okay, nothing special but adequate. A small selection of continental items and juices and a standard English breakfast, no menu or choices but a good breakfast nevertheless. We ate in the restaurant just the once and the food was superb and great value.

On the downside, when we returned to the hotel after the match on Sunday, they would only serve us bottled beer at the bar saying that they had closed the bar and then they chucked us and at least 15 people and their drinks out saying they wanted to lock the building. It was 10.30pm and in a London pub and people were quite happily watching the American Football match on TV. It was neither friendly nor very service orientated...especially when they charged a higher price for the beer then they did to us the day before. We were late back due to a travel delay and the restaurant stopped serving at 10pm. Reception said they could not supply a takeaway menu saying everything in the area was closed. A few minutes later we saw a guy deliver pizzas. Not very helpful. The next morning, we had breakfast at 9am and on their literature it stated it was served until 10am. However, at 9.30am they refused to serve an American gentleman breakfast, not even a coffee, because they were now closed and anyway the rest of his party ate at 8am. I would have been seriously cheesed off if that were me.

So, all in all, great location, great rooms but a bit lacking on the service department. We would stay again for the convenience but just be aware of their rush to get you through breakfast and out of the bar of an evening!

Stayed at this hotel after a concert at Wembly, great location, no 83 bus stops right outside hotel, takes approx 25 mins to get to wembly, £2 each way or is covered on travelcard on zone 3. Word of caution when getting the bus back to hotel, the bus does not stop at Wembly you have to walk outside of wembly triangle, this is noted on bus stops but not the one outside wembly for some reason, buses then every 10 mins 24 hr.

Hotel excellent, very clean, tea/coffee in room and more available when you ask. Great white fluffly towels !!!! Staff very friendly and helpful. Bar snacks available in pub attached, very reasonably priced, drinks very reasonable. Restaurant slightly more expensive. Takes about an hour to arrive at hotel from leaving euston by tube, but very straight forward. Just ask at kiosk at tube station and a very friendly man gave us directions through subway, but hotel is less than 10 min walk from tube, very easy. Would stay here again without hesitation, booked on late rooms and got £20 off price off hotel which was even better.
