Was charged twice for the room

The hotel itself was fine however they claimed they were not able to process our credit card. They insisted on cash which we had to pay then when we reviewed our credit card statement saw that they have also charged our card so we’re scammed for two payments

Worst Receptionist !!

The pictures on hotel.com are misleading; however, the manager is very polite. The extremely rude and ill-mannered Antrim receptionist needs training. His unprofessional and inappropriate behavior was concerning. I wonder what language he understood. The bathroom smelled very bad and was never properly cleaned. The room was not cleaned daily.

Not for a budget stay, security deposit demanded

Paid for our stay through the hotels.com app on arrival we was forced to pay a £100 security deposit which was not mentioned before purchasing the room. We use hotels 4 nights a week with our work and have never had to have a security deposit held

Disliked: Staff & service
The worst i have never and ever experienced and the security deposit amount is unacceptable, which is more than triple of the room booked amount, which is over helmet for ordinary people. While checking out the deposit amounts bot on an immediate return basis , I have to wait for 3 to working days. Is there any reason why i need to invest such amounts for one night to stay on this bad process hotel rooms? For me, it is unacceptable and not worth for money. I will not recommend anyone to stay in thia Hotel anymore. At the end of the day, i cashless and walk out the reception and seeking help from my friend for travelling to my surrey home location.

We were moved to another hotel which house refugee's & other’s that had two 24 hr security guards. Why? So really felt unsafe. We had two gentlemen follow us in a car? Why? This should not be allowed, we should of been told & words cannot express the frighteningly terrible experience.

I had a reservation to start at greater London best western, however I was placed in a different location best western on argyle rd. That hotel room was old, best down with disturbances day and night. I was asked to switch hotels last night to actual greater London best western day before check out last minute. It was a major inconvenience to make me switch hotels last minute. I am requesting a partial refund for the inconvenience.

Very nice hotel with a strong wifi signal. Located in a nice area and surrounded by stores and cafes, couple of great pubs nearby. The only minus - breakfast isn’t worth £7 at all.

I found all the staff to be friendly. I did have a problem, which was sorted out. But, when the problem came back, the receptionist wondered if I'd done it (which wasn't true).

Lovely room, executive suit, shame that the beds were a little uncomfortable, new mattresses or some extra padding would of made my stay perfect.
