Blades Guesthouse

We enjoyed Kevin and his interesting take on the local scene. He was a gracious host.

The breakfast selection was fine and the food was nicely presented.

We had requested a room on the lower floors because my wife had just gone through a complete knee replacement. Unfortunately that did not work out. And on our return trip late in our trip we were relegated to an even higher floor after making a request for the lowest floor.

We did have very noisy neighbors on our first visit and had to beat on the wall at 3 am for them to get quiet.

We had a wonderful 9 night stay at Blades Hotel. Kevin and the staff were fabulous - friendly, helpful, and so pleasant. Our room was very comfortable and incredibly quiet. The location was perfect - just a few blocks from a Tube station and a bus stop almost right at the door. The value was amazing - we couldn't have asked for anything more!

At Blades Hotel we know we are not perfect, though we try, we openly invite guests to tell us if anything is wrong with their room or our service. In the entrance hall there is a notice advising that we are undergoing refurbishments - at all times trying not to inconvenience staying guests. From the description given in this review anyone would think we owned a dilapidated property - which is far from the truth. From the room concerned this is 'sold' to the guest as a 'small double', the price reflects this. 'Holes in the wall' refers I believe to screw holes left from our removal of old televisions and replaced by modern flat screen t.v.'s. All will be removed very shortly. Our programme of improvements will continue through the autumn and winter - hotels are constantly in need of upkeep. We are truly delighted, honoured and grateful by the majority of reviews we receive from fans of Trip Advisor. I am particularly proud of my staff who really care about the guests.
