The Bickenhall Hotel

We went to this hotel due to the price we paid.

The hotel is very secure you have to ring a bell and they let you in through the CCTV camera's on the door. We stayed on the 4th floor room number 41, It was abit small but VERY reasonable it was suitated on the back of the hotel over looking other houses, (but this did not both us)

There is only stairs no lift, so i would not recommend this hotel to anyone with mobility issues as we struggled up them and we are both in our early 20's!!!

The breakfast is RUBBISH that what does let it down. you have to ask if you want Tea or coffee and you either have a cooked of 1 sausage, 1 bacon, 1 hashbrown and 1 fried egg Which is all nearly cold, but it takes 10 minutes to get to you!! It's lucky that there is a starbucks down the road on Oxford street for my tea.

But i would stay here again just due to location and the price.

We came to check us in for one booked night but the receptionist dont know anything and offer us to single disgusting rooms for 3 persons in which we did not booked then left the hotel to eat some food. Then when we came back he told us that we were booked on another hotel some blocks away, so we took a cab due to it was late in the evening. Sadly we also had already booked 2 more nights the next week. I dont want to make some troubles so we came back to check us in and we got our booked suite for 3 persons. It smells sponge this hotel. The floors squeeks when you go on it. The stairsways is awful and have that sponge smell. The door to the restaurant squeeks everytime someone opens it and we can hear it in our room. It really bothers us. They dont have service minded people. We never got a smile. They only have one fan for 2 rooms and it was very warm in the room without fan and it was 32 degrees outside. The breakfast was not OK due to the waitress forgot this and that.

Although the hotel is very conveniently located within 5 mins. from Baker Street Station, this is probably the worst hotel I ever stayed at. Strange people tend to hang around the reception area. The rooms are super tiny and very very old. The worst part is the insulation of the windows - it's just as if there wasn't any: so just imagine yourself sleeping on top of a London doubledecker bus ... including the draught. There seems to be only one room going out to the back so you can be pretty sure to have a noisy night.

There's plenty of other options very close by - so just ignore Bickenhall Hotel and save yourself a dreadful stay.
