Typical
Customer Reviews
Below are some fairly typical reviews from customers that have stayed
at the Blakemore Hotel Bayswater. They are independent viewpoints
and not necessarily the view of this web site.
"Room was small. Very convenient location - short walking distance
to Bayswater and Queensway tube stations, and Hyde Park. Breakfast
was basic and there's an extra charge for cooked breakfast. Front
staff was helpful."
"I'm a student on a gap year from America, who visited the Blakemore
hotel, located in the heart of London, late June this year. It was
the perfect place for a tourist like myself, since it was comfortable,
even egegant in ways, with staff who attended to all my requests.
As for the room, it was just what I needed; a single bed and a tv
in a traditional styled bedroom. The restaurant and bar was amazing,
although I prefered going out clubbing to a greater extent, and this
standard was met by the delicious breakfast which was served up in
the early hours of the day. I was particularly delighted to find that
there was available wifi, allowing me to use my itouch with ease.
Staying at the Blakemore in Bayswater allowed me to abscond to nightlife
swiftly."
"The location of this hotel is very good – a two minute
walk to Hyde Park and the tube. Rooms are clean, but poorly designed
and laid out. The service was very poor. We waited 40 minutes for
our dinner one night.
They
also charge for anything they can. There is no trouser press in the
room, but for a charge, they will arrange for your trousers to be
pressed.
Also,
the hotel has some kind of complicated arrangement with another party
to provide telephone service. So, if you have a complaint about the
charges, they tell you that there is nothing they can do because it
is the responsibility of someone else. The charges are expensive for
a service (contacting an international operator) which one can get
at a call box for free. The closest call box is 3 blocks away. Also,
internet access is 5GBP/hour."
"For the money, did not expect such an impressive and efficient
hotel. Ours bags were looked after for us, the barman was charming,
and the shower was impressively powerful! For two young ladies for
a fun few days away in the city, its absolutely perfect. After all,
do you really come to London to sit in a hotel room and look at a
basin (whether beside your bed or otherwise?). No you sit in the bar.....which,
incedentally is open until 1am...Enjoy."
"First off, I never have any illusions that I'm staying at a
5 star hotel (and to be honest, I've stayed at some 5 stars that were
not as good as this hotel). I got what the company paid for, which
was all I needed, a bed, and a shower. The room and bathroom were
clean. The shower was a little larger than the norm in London. The
breakfast was good, but basic. My biggest complaint was the heat.
It is an issue. I had to sleep with the window open but on a couple
of occations some idiot Americans (no doubt they were Yankees)were
outside yelling at 1AM. The bed wasn't good enough to write home about
either. Overall, a decent experience and if I can get the same price,
I'd stay again."
Let's
start by saying I have stayed at the Blakemore at least 5 times. Each
time my stay is exactly what I require and what I expect. I am a married
man in my late thirties living in America. I try to get to London
a couple times a year to watch my beloved Tottenham Hotspur FC play
live. My visits are always the same, on my own and for 3 nights Friday,
Saturday and Sunday evenings.
The single ensuites are all that I require. The size is not a concern.
It is perfect for the solo traveller. I have found the staff to be
quite friendly and very help on each of my stays. The lobby bar is
a very cozy and inviting place to relax and is usually open a bit
later than the local pubs in Bayswater so if you are out and fancy
a night cap all you have to do head head back to the Blakemore get
your order in and relax while watching the large flat screen TV in
the lobby. The ensuite singles are always going for a bargain rate
so for someone who would rather spend your travel dollars on other
things besides overly posh accomodations the Blakemore is for you
