Chiswick Court Hotel

Where to start on this "Hotel".

First impressions were not great as my En-suite room turned out to be about 4ft X 12ft with a 2'6" bed.

The room was filthy to say the least, with an accumulation of dust and dirt in the corners and a worn out and stained carpet. The window sill was black with dirt and water marks and the only working light in the room was a bare bulb (the bedside wall light didn't work)

The shower room was so small that one could sit on the toilet, wash your hair in the sink and wash your feet in the shower all at the same time! You would need to be a contortionest to use it and god help anyone who has impaired movement.

The shower was either a freezing drizzle or a boiling torrent, the fixed head only showered the oposite wall and the mixer came out of two large, ungrouted, holes in the tiles. The water in the wash basin was a mere drizzle and never got hotter than about 20 degrees C. The bathroom extractor fan barely worked from being clogged by filth.

The sheets, at first sight, appeared to be clean, if not the rest of the linen. However, looks can be deceptive and I left with several septic bites on my person and developed a rather nasty rash on my face. Wheather this is from the obvious infestation or from their detergent I don't know. I suspect the former!

The only way to sleep was with the aid of ear plugs due to the snoring from the room next door.

I cannot comment on the "continental" breakfast, which, as far as I can gather, consists of toast and orange juice.

I concluded that, given the standard of cleaning in the public areas, the same care and attention to cleaning was not likely to be lavished on the private kitchen.

Yes, this is budget accomodation. BUT there is budget and budget! The room I was in was £35 per night. Not a great deal of money, but considering I could have had a large, clean and comfortable en-suite room at somewhere like travel lodge or premier inn for about £56, it's put in persective. Which is why I suspect that they insist on full payment for the duration of your stay BEFORE they show you your "room".

This self-styled hotel is at best a rip off and at worst a public health hazard and could not, in any way, shape or form be recomended to anyone.

Not even your worst enemy!!!

I came with 2 other family members and checked in at this hotel. We got a small and old room. It obviously needs repair. The walls are cracked and the bathroom tiles also. The window sill is filthy, The refrigerator is rusty and should be thrown away. But we got lucky and had clean sheets and bathroom and haven`t seen the famous bugs.Continental breakfast is okay but some of the chairs are dilapidated but still being used. We are on a tight budget so I just closed my eyes to what I`m seeing but I did not expect that noises are included in the price. The sound of passing cars, peals of laughters from some guests on the next floor, and not to mention that somebody wanted to save money and decided to do the laundry, spinning on the wahing machine. These is happening at past 12 midnight. The antidote is the friendliness of the staff but that alone can`t keep the guest on coming back , not unless the hotel owner is aiming for one time clients only.You just got what you paid for. I would not recommend it though.
