“Geatest place in kensington”

London Lodge Hotel

Apr 17, 2008

i stayed a week in the london lodge two years ago. Room was huge and spotless. the staff is friendly, always a nice little chat on breakfast. The location is great, not so far from the kensington's museums and park (science, V&A, hyde park), and the earl court station is not so far too and very useful. I recommended this hotel to friends of mine who come to London this summer too.

“Great”

London Lodge Hotel

Mar 30, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

10 minute walk from Earl's Court tube station so makes it accesible to all of London using the Tube, we bought 7 day oyster cards. Tesco about a 10 minute walk. Lots of restaurants and pubs close by. The staff was great.

“Not quite up to expectations”

London Lodge Hotel

Mar 17, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

Following the glowing reports seen on trip adviser we booked three nights stay in early March 2008. It is therefore disappointing that we have to downgrade this hotel but can only comment as we found it. First of all the staff were very friendly and helpful making your stay appreciated. Our room number 11 was a twin. The size was not very big but the initial appearance seemed fine. Closer examination showed the carpet to be coming away from the wall and discoloured. The tiles on the bathroom floor were not in good condition neither was the wooden edge to the bath but the beds were comfortable. The room had a flat screen TV air/con, hair dryer, Internet connection, Mini bar, Trouser press, ceiling fan, tea and coffee facilities. The overall décor detail does not live up to their brochure claim of “Luxurious Facilities”. Could be other rooms did as we met people who go back on a regular basis.
We retuned one day to find our bedroom door had not been closed after being serviced. I complained to two different people and both said they would look into the complaint but we were never offered an apology. Fortunately there must have been honest guests opposite or it could have been a completely different outcome.
The breakfast was continental but only the minimum. Each day there was grapefruit segments, cereals, toast, croissants, fruit, yogurts, tea and coffee. Full English and other options were available at extra cost. We were not happy that when clearing the table for the next guest as any apparent unused cutlery is used to make up the table. Also the yogurts are left out all though the breakfast time (some hours) with no means of keeping them cool.
The evening meal was OK and reasonably priced. There was too much salt in the sauce flavouring for our liking. There are plenty of places to eat in the area such as pubs, Indian, Chinese and many Italian.
The hotel location is very good as it is in a quiet location yet still in zone 1 of the tube with the nearest station only about a 6 minute walk away.
Overall we would not stay here again unless we knew we had a better room.

Dear Thisisus,
Thank you for staying at the London Lodge hotel and for taking the time to write a review. As you are already aware, your experience is not typical of this hotel.
With regards to the carpet, we have just completed the sample sample and all carpets throughout the entire hotel will be replaced by the end of April. We are also replacing the soft furnishings gradually.
Obviously I cannot do anything about the room size but we do offer Executive rooms, for a small extra charge, which are larger.
I sincerely apologise about your door closure not working properly, unfortunately we appear to have had a communication breakdown as I wasn't made aware of it.
Our ice machine been replaced since your stay so our yogurts are iced throughout breakfast.
Just to clarify, Earls Court underground station is in zones 1 & 2 so guests don't necessarily have to pay for zone 1 unless they need it.

I hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back to the hotel in the future. Maybe you could contact me directly on lea@londonlodgehotel.com or +44 (0)20 7244 8444.

Warmest regards and apologies,
Lea

“What a nice stay!”

London Lodge Hotel

Mar 9, 2008

I was in London for 4 days. This hotel is really ok. Nice room, very clean, professional and nice staff ( in particular way the manager I met at the arrival). The breakfast was very good. The location of the hotel was super, at 5 minuttes walk from tube station.

“Do not leave anything on the floor :)”

London Lodge Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Gouda, The Netherlands
Mar 1, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

The hotel is nice. It is only a 5 minutes walk from Earl's Court Station, where there are many restaurants. It is a very quiet hotel, no traffic noise. The room we had (nr. 11) was nicely decorated and clean.

Warning: don't leave anything in a plastic bag on the floor for it will be thrown away. This happened to us. We had some clean underwear, socks and a hairbrush in a plastic bag and it was under the chair, not near the waist basket. The next day it was thrown away by houskeeping. When I reported this to the woman at the reception she was very friendly and tried to rescue it but the waist was already gone. She replied that we shouldn't leave anything on the floor. Since it was only underwear we didn't make much fuss about it. No compensation was offered. But now I discovered that my spare pare of glasses were also in the bag!!! I think housekeeping hadn't had her day for she also forgot to bring us towels that day.

Nevertheless, we had a nice stay at the hotel. They serve english breakfast cooked to order. It was included in our rate. When not included they charge 12,95 pounds for english breakfast. In Earl's Court Road there are many restaurants who serve breakfast (english or continental)

Dear Irboke,

Thank you for staying at the London Lodge hotel and for taking the time to write a review.

May I take this opportunity to apologise for the confusion with the bag on the floor! This is obviously not company policy and the room attendant has been informed of the correct procedure.

I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back to the hotel to improve on our review!

Warmest regards,
Lea
