Sidney Hotel

a very comfortable stay. We will certainly consider visiting your hotel again.

sidney hotel

double bed: far too small. staff: not a single smile on arriving, said "room not ready". i had to ask if it was possible to leave my bags somewhere, i got told yes and had to wait 10 minutes, i got shown to a room and placed my bag on a shelf, the woman from the reception said "no, not here, put them up here", not offering her help. the bathroom was over small plus the shower tube was about to break, i had to ask for it to be changes...which it was. good tv and digital services !

Unimpressed with Sidney hotel.

I am sorry to say my partner and I were not impressed at all with our stay in the Sidney Hotel. Upon arrival, we discovered we had been allocated a no smoking room, and asked for a smoking one. The staff were unhelpful to the point of ignorance and insisted they would not accomadate our request. This was not a once off, we found the staff in general to be unhelpful with any question we asked (for example tourist info). While the foyer area was clean and looked nice, the room istelf was not, the carpet was stained, furniture chipped and shoddy, sink in bathroom was slightly scummy, even the pull cord for the light in the bathroom was grimy, so bad we had to use tisues to pull on it to avoid touching it directly with our hands.
As the room we were allocated was in the basement beside an empty conference room and facing out onto a tiny yard used for storage, we could not leave the windows open as the room was easily accessible via the yard (an open door from the corridor led out into this yard, so anyone could step out and climb in our window with little effort).
All in all we both considered this hotel to be sub-standard, and would never consider it again for future visits to London.

Good for a quick stop

Stayed here as it was close to the company Christmas Party. Requested a Double not twin room and recieved a triple. ROom was adequate in size. Bathroom compact but perfectly clean. PLasma with sky in room. Fan to cool it down. Just fine for our requirements.

Home from home

Fair sized room for a London hotel, where space is normally at a premium. Room was very clean and tidy. Modern flat panel TVs provide terrestrial and basic satellite news channels. Staff always willing to help. Good for leisure or extended stays. Would use again ;-)
