Perhaps the owner bailed?

E-mailed them twice to confirm check in called them on the day no response or answer - perhaps the owner packed up and bailed? or died? because it looks like we are not the only one to have this issue either way had to wait 4 hours for hotels.com to find us another place then they said it would take 15 mins with all our luggage after a 24 hour flight from Melbourne to London with no real apology pretty disappointing experience all around

ACHTUNG!!! FAKE Unterkunft - City Gate Kensington

- ein Tag vor Antritt der Reise versucht Kontakt bei der Unterkunft "City Gate Kensington" per E-Mail und Telefon, wie gefordert von Expedia, aufzunehmen (bis heute keine Antwort) - auch über ein Expedia Mitarbeiter, vor Abflug, konnte der Kontakt zur Unterkunft nicht hergestellt werden - Ankunft bei der uns bekannt gegeben Adresse der Unterkunft in London gegen 23 Uhr Ortszeit - dann... nichts...gar nichts...kein Hinweis auf "City Gate Kensington" oder ähnliches, es sah aus wie ein gewöhnliches Wohngebiet - es folgten weitere Anrufe an die Unterkunft...ohne Erfolg - wir mussten uns in der Nacht um eine neue Unterkunft kümmern was sehr nervenaufreibend war

Really really basic apartment

The apartment I stayed for 2 nights at was flat 3 20 Fairholme Road. The first night was really noisy people coming and going up until 3am and then from 5am so no sleep that night. The second night was better but maybe I was so tired from the first night I just didn't hear them. The apartment was small and cramped with really basic furniture, a microwave sink and a fridge which didn't get cold. There was a small freezer which had about 3 inches of frost inside which stopped the door from shutting. The one good thing was the shower room which was in good order, the sink was really small so difficult to get a shave in and the shower was also cramped but water pressure was good and the water was hot. There was a problem with Sky so I reported it and someone came round about an hour later, reset the sky box wherever that was and then retuned the TV and it came back up. The apartment is really for a young person just staying over for 1 night in London and the pictures do not reflect whats actually there.

Was it the room we booked?

The information on the webpage did not seem to match with the reality. The room was reduced by about 60%. At that price it was good value, but I did not think it was worth anywhere near the full price. It was a largish sitting room that had been cleverly adapted to include a small shower cubicle and toilet. There was also quite a well equipped small kitchen area. However the ceiling of shower room and kitchen space had been lowered to allow for a mezzanine deck with the bed. This meant that the headroom where the bed was situated was just to low for comfort and the ladder to the bed was much too steep for most people. It would have been good to know that as it could have been the deciding factor for some people.

Bien para hacer turismo en Londres.

Las habitaciones están decentes, el baño minúsculo (o incluso menos :-P), hay tiendas en el entorno, y muy bien comunicado por metro (y autobús). La habitación te la entregan limpia y nadie la toca hasta que te vas. Wi-Fi perfecto. Está muy bien para ir de turista a Londres.

Posizione ottima ma per il resto...

Monolocale in un quartiere residenziale a pochi minuti da due stazioni della metro (West Kensington sulla District e Barons Court sulla Piccadilly, aperta tutta la notte). L'appartamento (noi avevamo uno standard) era in un seminterrato raggiungibile da una scala esterna all'edificio principale seguendo le istruzioni inviate 2 giorni prima della partenza (fatte di codici, codicini e chiavi in mini cassaforti stile escape game). Buon wi-fi gratis e cucina ben accessoriata (frigo e freezer che non siamo risuciti ad accendere, fornelli a induzione, forno, microonde, lavastoviglie, utensili da cucina ma zero generi di primo conforto). Le dolenti note: aprendo la porta praticamente si andava a sbattere sulla porta del bagno, ridicolmente piccolo con doccia e lavandino lillipuziani, la stanza principale era separata dal mini atrio da un'inspiegabile e pesantissima porta antincendio con finestra. Il letto era passabile ma la testiera rotta cigolava ad ogni minimo movimento. La cosa peggiore era la pulizia inesistente (pavimento e muri sporchi, capelli sul copriletto); zero insonorizzazione, asciugamani (uno a testa) di dimensioni medie e sporchi, mai cambiati durante il soggiorno. Visti il prezzo e la posizione va bene per soggiorni brevi, ma ci si deve adattare.

that creaky bed!

The location was great, the check in system is brilliant, the location, easy to get to 4mins from West Kensington Station. Perfect for a late finish. I was exhausted, I climbed the stairs, the room was petité but I was only there to sleep. There was a bit of dust and fluff on the floor, and the general cleanliness of the room was not great. But it was the bed that really ruined my stay it was just so unbelievably noisy. Where even the slightest movement would produce a creak so loud as to almost echo in the tiny room. It was, grating... I am a restless sleeper.. So I did not get much sleep.

Not for adults

Room was small, which was okay, but bed was in a loft, about 1 m high, accessed by means of a steep, slippy ladder. Had to literally crawl into the bed which was a mattress on a basically a hand made pallet

2 night stay West Kensington

Booking and entrance fine with simple security and instructions. Room - a small Deluxe with adequate amenities and very clean. Not having being warmed to b a rock climber I didn't realise at 60 years of age and being large in frame I had to clamber up a 1 in 2 or 3 ladder to access and literally crawl over to a loft double bed with about 15" headroom. I slept 2nd night on the uncomfortable sofa bed. Adverts state £40-50 but I paid £150 for 2 nights. A standard room looks to have been much more suitable and clearly a better option. Can't see me returning. West Kensington tube 5 mins and numerous eateries and couple of pubs in locality.

Great value but small

This economical little apartment was perfect for one night but for longer stays would be a bit claustrophobic - particularly the raised sleeping area which is reached by a very steep wooden ladder and has only c60cm headroom between the mattress and the ceiling. Definitely not suitable for anyone with any mobility issues. In theory the apartment sleeps 4 but, when the sofa bed is pulled out it virtually fills the living area. A couple of table lamps would give some ambience instead of the harsh halogen ceiling lights. Otherwise, for the price, a great find.
