Man at the desk called few taxis but unsuccessful so called an Uber for us & hotel paid for it. Will definitely stay at hotel next time we visit London.

Lovely hotel in a great location.
Bathroom clean and looks new
Amenities in room - fan, refreshment tray, hairdryer, some toiletries
I had a single room, plenty big enough for me but fairly compact.
I had breakfast one day which was continental, lots of choice and an absolute bargain at £7.50!
Off the main thoroughfare but minutes from lots of restaurants, cafes, convenience stores and 2 tube stops so super easy to get around.
Definitely would recommend - price and location a steal for the area!

Hotel accomodation OK and as expected. However, we chose the hotel partly because it had a bar. Upon arrival we were informed the bar opens at 4pm each afternoon and stays open until late. Thus we headed in to London and returned for 8pm to chill and have a few drinks in the bar. Upon return, we were informed the management had decided not to open the bar for reasons unknown.We were then promised bar would be open the next night. Similar story the next day with bar shut again! Very very disappointing and not at the satisfaction level I have come go expect from Expedia. Please could you look in to this on our be

I can’t believe how uncomfortable my stay was. It was 5 degrees outside in November, yet my room felt like it was in the middle of summer. And the worst part? There was no actual thermostat. Just an old, outdated control unit that didn’t do anything. Huge red flag.

I tried everything, opening the windows, fiddling with the old panel— but the room stayed insanely hot. Sleeping was nearly impossible.

This was a really disappointing experience, and until they update their HVAC system so guests can control their own room temperature, I definitely won’t be back.

Reception entrance is very modern and stylish. My room was ok but very hot and humid in the evening. I had a fan but it wasn’t working properly so they replaced it with an old school van and it was a lot better. The lift was very slow and took too long to come. Breakfast options were ok, could be better. Was abit of a pain to get an uber to my locations, but I suppose that was because it was during the carnival period.

I don't often leave negative reviews but unfortunately this was one of the poorest hotel experiences I've had in some time. First, our room on the second floor was exceedingly and uncomfortably hot. Despite the fact that the temperature outside in the city was actually pleasantly cool for most of our stay, the room itself, with no AC, windows that only opened about 2 inches and only a very basic fan provided, was very hot. There was also no fridge in the room, so not even the possibility of storing some bottles of water at a cold temperature. In fairness, the hotel does not advertise that it has AC, and we should have probably checked before booking, but it also should not have been necessary in relation to the weather outside. Notably, the ground floor and reception areas appear to have AC, but not the rooms. The water also had a strange quality whereby soap would never completely rince out, which was really unpleasant. The wifi also kept disconnecting, such that you had to reconnect every day in order not to accidentally use all your data. When it did work it was decent though. Location was convenient and quiet. Breakfast was decent but nothing special. Staff were not particularly warm and approable, but did offer helpful assistance when asked. All in all, okay stay, but uncomfortable for the price paid. We were relieved to be going home when we left!

This hotel has no A/C so the room can be brutal in the summer. The room itself was 35c+ making it very hard to sleep. There was only one small fan to help. I would go outside to cool down.
This hotel is in good location so may be worthwhile outside of summer time, but would not advise booking in summer.
The breakfast is basic but fine and the staff was very kind.

The hotel is in a great area. The staff is excellent. The rooms are very small without air conditioning. We were there during a heatwave and had to check out after 2 nights. It was very uncomfortable in the room. The bed wasn't comfortable, very hard. The bathroom is small with only a small shelf above the sink. There's no fridge. The price of the room is too much for what you get. We paid less for a much bigger room with a/c, fridge and more amenities in a good location. They should invest in some portable a/c units and a fridge.

Great location for easy access to tube etc. Really clean and comfortable. Breakfast is fine if you like continental, good choice and nice fresh pastries etc. Very peculiar that you cannot get any normal terrestrial channels on tv. And the room is incredibly hot in summer and no air con. Acknowledge that there was a heat wave when we were there but because you can’t open the window wide, the heat was insane. Otherwise, lovely place to stay with very efficient and polite staff.

Stayed only 1 night in a basic room on the ground floor. The room reeked of smoke immediately. There was no central heating unit. The room included a tower fan but it was filled with dust and seemed to not been cleaned for a while. One of the bath towels was smeared with a brownish stain. The toilet paper holder was placed in the most awkward space; high above the shoulder when seated on the toilet. Couldn’t even have a proper shower since it was uncontrollably scalding hot. The best thing was that the wifi was fast. It’s possible that the rooms on the higher floors are better maintained but overall wouldn’t recommend even though it’s in a quiet neighbourhood and budget friendly.

On the plus side, the breakfast was part of the room price, so no need to head out early to find something to eat. The location is less than a 5 minute walk from a variety of restaurants and food shops. And there are 2 tube stations and a bus line less than 10 minutes away.

I've never seen a bathroom that small. I could sit on the toilet with both shoulders touching the walls beside me. I was in room 114, and the bathroom was smaller than the shower in other hotels. My shower was so small i could barely wash my legs and feet. I'm 6'5'' and the bathroom door is about 6'2''. Watch your head! The bed was smaller than a twin in the US. But the breakfast was edible and the deli meats made it better. The Phoenix is near the Bayswater tube station in a good area near Notting Hill. I got a good deal, so i can't complain too much, but that room was way too small. My friend stayed in a different room with a slightly bigger bathroom. I would consider staying there again, but never in room 114.
