myhotel Chelsea

Zum vierten Mal habe ich nun schon im Myhotel Chelsea übernachtet. Das relativ kleine Hotel hat Charme: die unterschiedlich geschnittenen Zimmer sind ansprechend in Pastelltönen eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Es herrscht eine Art Entspannungsphilosophie. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Büffett mit dem kontinentalen Frühstück, das in der Bar gereicht wird, ist nicht groß, aber ansprechend, lecker und gesund. Die Lage des Hotels ist ruhig und die nächste U-Bahn-Station South Kensington in weniger als 6 Minuten zu erreichen. Um das Hotel herum findet man viele nette Restaurants. Auch das Victoria and Albert Museum ist fußläufig zu erreichen.

As I have been living in London during few years and since I am travelling every Six Months to the city, I think I knew merely all the good hotels where to stay.

What a Surprise, Secretly Hidden in the Middle of South Kensington & Chelsea, in the best area of London with all the best bar such as eclipse and fine dining such as the bibendum, My Hotel Chelsea is really a Hit.

A good mix with quiet rooms where to relax and a cosy and trendy bar with the perfect fireplace for a romantic moment.

I deeply recommand it since I loved it !

Can wait to go back, i did even try the Spa !!!

Stayed for one night, 25th October 2008. Lovely hotel, terrible service. In particular:-

Was provided with an iron with power cord so worn the metal was showing through at the handle.

Room (no.8) was very hot - despite air conditioning on full blast, had to sleep with the window fully open (in October!).

Ordered room service sandwiches - took 55 minutes, sandwiches arrived open (suppossed to be toasted), bagel arrived without cream cheese.

At private function, requested drinks three times - each time order was delivered incorrectly and the staff did not write down the orders. The bill was then charged to a random member of the party, with a service charge!

It felt like the hotel had opened with good intentions, but corners were being cut, particularly with training - although the majority were very friendly and willing to help, they appeared underskilled for the roles they were performing. Also, I was not the only one in my party who experienced these problems. Very, very disappointed.
