The Station Hotel

They should be made to take their listing off the internet - when looking it seams OK But when you get there - the place should be pulled down or have a total re-vamp.

I have to say the sheets and towels and bathroom were clean - toilet needed some work and time to clear,the shower head needed fixing to the wall, but the rest of the room was "DISTGUSTING' The hotel is split in two and both sections are very bad, with looks and smell. The room had been serviced before we arrived(well) no tea/coffee in room. Got plenty when we asked for it.

The curtains are half hanging on the rails,no handle on the robe, its also lost a leg - this really does not mater because you'd not want to use it......... We would have moved out if we could have found other accommodation at the time, but for us it was better somewhere than nowhere.... We booked this hotel beleiving it was 'middle of the road', (I don't think 70 pounds per night is a price you pay for 'slumming it') for its location, so close to the things we wanted to see on our short stay in London.

Mind you they did give us a gift to take home, infact many gifts, which we are still admiring today, 2 weeks after leaving -BEDBUGS.

We also thought we'd paid for our accommodation over the net, but on arriving was asked to pay with cash, But my husband said noway - card or nothing, at least this way we are covered if they do try and charge us twice.

PLEASE WHO EVER YOU ARE AND FOR WHAT EVER REASON YOU ARE STAYING IN LONDON DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND GIVE THIS HOTEL A VERY BIG MISS..............

My Aunt and Uncle stayed in this place a few weeks ago when they were visiting from Australia. They had booked this place mainly as they were struggling with their last minute visit. I had arranged to call them on the morning of their first stay at the hotel, I located the hotel’s website and the number that was offered as their contact line was an discontinued number. Being a little surprised by this I tried to get the number from Yell but given the generic name of the hotel they drew a blank. I then turned to your site hoping you may have contact details, I have never seen such bad reviews for a place. I was quite concerned and worried at this point about my elderly relatives, so set off to get there as soon as I could. I did manage to get in touch with the hotel reception via directory services so I felt slightly better, although the receptionist told me they had no phone in the room they would pass on a message.

When I got to the hotel it looked like the entrance to a mini cab office. I even walked past not believing that this could be the correct place. I went in and spoke to the receptionist, to his credit he was very helpful. The place stank of damp and mould and general horribleness, he called across to the other building where my relatives had been put. I had to wait outside as the smell was making me feel so nauseous. They managed to get a message to my Uncle and I went across the road to meet him. I was slightly relived for them when I entered the place they were staying as they had seemingly escaped the smell. The place was totally run down with undecorated plasterboard and looked like a squat, their room was no different and very damp smelling. I have signed up and resisted to trip advisor as I have just had an email from my Aunt telling me that they were assaulted by bedbugs that night and are totally covered in bites and have only just stopped itching after a week. They have had to travel all the way back to Australia with bites on their faces and all over them. I am unbelievably disgusted that my retired relatives had to face this ordeal for coming to visit me in London for two nights.
