If your bank is not from the UK. Pay in advance before you come or bring cash to pay for your stay. NonUK bank cards not accepted. That said, the stay was great. Best breakfast provided that I ever had. Staff was very apologetic about the corporate decision on cards and was extremely helpful in all other matters.

Good but wouldn’t stay here again

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room it self, while clean was incredibly hot so it wasn’t comfortable. There were fans but all that did was push warm air around. There was also no bedside or small lighting which meant you either had a very bright overhead light on or left in darkness. It was convenient for the station and to get into London but based on not sleeping well due to the heat I wouldn’t stay here again.

The staff were very polite and accommodating. Rooms provided to us were clean and in very good condition. I particularly appreciated the shower cubicle; easy to use with good water pressure. The coffee shop was a pleasant surprise; good coffee and service; comforting ambiance of the layout, a quiet place to relax with family. I thoroughly recommend this Hotel.

Bad reviews not accurate.

Me and my friend were looking for a cheap hotel and we found this. At first we were nervous because we had seen some bad reviews, but when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was small but it was enough for us, the room looked new and smelled new. The train station was 2 minutes from the hotel which was super helpful. Honestly, no complaints perfect for 2 people that just wants somewhere to stay

Great little hotel with good transport links.

Room was to a great strandard, very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Very fast access to the rail network and a wetherspoons just one minute down the road. Staff were very freindly and made sure we had everything we needed. Only small negative was the bed was very very firm so i slept poorly. If i had stayed more than just the night i would have asked about this but as we were only here for the one night it didn't really mattet and definitely didnt affect my overall experience here Overall for the price and how close it is to the rail station i would stay there again, but perhaps ask for a duvet to lay on our matress next time which im sure the very attentive staff would have been more than happy to help us with.

This is a character-limited review. My family recently stayed in room 204 at the Best Western Greater London, from July 7-11. You could miss it, as it blends in so easily with its neighbourhood. Its frontage is combined with neighbouring shops. Having mostly traveled in Canada and the US, the room was small compared to our "usual" (but fully as-described). We managed with the available space. No matter the time of day, the friendly staff was ready to help with needs like keeping items cool or frozen for us (the rooms don't have mini fridge/freezers). One of the team (a manager?), Gonzalo, even personally came to handle a couple of small problems with the Wi-Fi and an unexpected odour from the toilet. They also stored our bags on our last day, so we could tour unencumbered. A small issue notable in the room is that quite a few plastic screw covers have been broken, but not replaced. I hope they'll fix that soon. It's mostly an aesthetic issue, but clean, smooth surfaces tend to look nicer than broken caps, covers, etc. More inconvenient is the lack of sufficient shelf space in the washroom. I kept my toiletries bag on the window ledge, but was constantly worried it would fall out of the downward-facing window. This was also the first time I had ever experienced a hotel without air conditioning. Once again, we knew this when we booked. Overall, BW Greater London was nothing MORE, nor less than I would expect from the Best Western nameplate. I can easily recommend it.

The stay was terrible, I did not wanted to stay in the hotel at all and regretted my decision. Giving it 2 star only because of the customer service, the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. The rooms were extremely sub standard, and we had to change two rooms. The previous rooms did not have working lamps and had a bad smell. Breakfast was not worth having due to very limited options and even the food was not fresh and felt like tinned food. This hotel should not be associated with Best Western in my opinion or rectify their hotel star rating to 2 star.

The first room we were given was insanely small, dated & hot and only had fan that went to medium speed alongside a tiny window for ventilation. So we went to reception asking for our money back as we were not comfortable staying at the hotel. However the employee Icrah (apologies if spelt incorrectly or not correct name I can’t remember fully) was most helpful when went downstairs to query about a refund. She showed us 5 other alternative rooms until we were satisfied it was suitable for us & even gave us extra fans and brought up the new keycard to the room for us. For the price it does the job & is extremely however I would only recommend if all you plan to do is sleep there and not spend free time there as it is not the most comforting place to be.
