Abcone Hotel - London

8.4

One and a half blocks from metro station, quiet side street, slept with windows open and outside noise was not a problem. Nice neighborhood even late at night. We requested a triple and the extra bed was bit uncomfortable. We would stay again.

too smal rooms and price is too high. left not working and charged internet.

I stayed here for 2 nights in June. It is in an excellent location, 1 min from Gloucester Road station and 10 minute walk from V&A museum, so in a very safe and quiet area. Breakfast was surprisingly good - sometimes if a hotel offers continental breakfast that means a roll and some coffee, there was a good choice of cereal and in a very nice dining room with a terrace and fountain in the middle. My only issue was that there was some kind of clicking noise all night which I think was coming from the light outside my room, I had to buy earplugs for my second night there. However despite this I would recommend the hotel to friends and family travelling to London just because its location was unbeatable for the price.

I had the same problem than in Venece, they gave us a very bad room, and after we complain, they change to another. The breakfast service is too early and the people made it fast in order we run quickly to finish it early. They make us payed the room in the moment we arrived at 1,30 AM tired from the flight.

7.9

The hotel and its surrounding is great. The Underground station is just 5 min walk away and the buses with connections to Oxford St/Picadilly are also just around the corner. The hotel rooms are clean and quite "spacious" for London. Breakfast is as usual toast, jam, butter and cereal (there is a "Paul"s just opposite the Tube station ;-)). There are also a lot of restaurants in the area. All in all a decent hotel in a good neighbourhood.

7.7

The quietest hotel I have ever been in London! The surround are beautiful (except for the holiday inn hiotel the is just beside)and the room are clean and not so small as I thought. the bathroom was good with a really spacious shower.

7.7

The hotel is in a excellent location, close to the tube station. Rooms rather large for being in London, very clean, bright and confortable. Dining room was large, polite staff even if the breakfast offered was a little bit too scarse. We were welcomed by a guy who didn't know exactly how to execute check.in procedure.

6.7

Close to the underground but TV out of order

7.3

Location is excellent, only a short walk from Gloucester Road Tube station. I had asked for a quiet room at the end of the hallway which I got. Size of room was adequate (especially when compared to the subsequent one on a **** establishment in Paddington my company booked me into later on), but could have been cleaner (carpet, especially in the corners and under/behind the bed, dusting superficial but bathroom clean). Was glad I'd brought slippers. Staff in breakfast room was not very competent or efficient and hardly understood English (we waited for more than 30 mins and were told only after asking again that they had run out of eggs and and to go buy some more). Staff at reception was friendly and helpful. All in all I would go back, especially since I like the area.

5.7

we have given a room in the ground floor with problem with water that was always very hot and no cold water. we were told that they would fix the problem but they didn't because was not possible to fix it.... about the cleanliness...they use the floor to put all the towels and sheets to change and when I told them that we should use them to dry our face they answer they don't have a trolley..... no comment... THEY WANTED US TO PAY ALL THE AMOUNT IN ADVANCE

6.0

Very well situated, just 200 yards from underground. Bedroom was clean although the double bed was a bit a bit small, if I were to go again I´d book twin beds. The bathroom was good and the room had good facilities to make as much tea and coffee as you wanted. The staff´s English could have been better, but that wasn´t too much of a problem. The breakfast was good, and in general for a stay in London the hotel was fine.

6.9

I just wanted a bed for the night and this was clean quiet and convenient. good value for money.

9.0

Stay of 7 nights. Room was on the back, so very quiet, clean, with all comforts (kettle, filter coffee machine, fridge, phon, TV and a king size shower cubicle. Continental breakfast included was satisfactory enough. Position and neighboroud excellent. Only negative point has been the request to pay in advance, although my card was duly swiped. Overall I wou

7.7

I spent 2 nights at the hotel. Small room but clean. A litle cold, but ok. Overall, quality/price it's good. Nothing fancy. Ideal for 2-3 nights in London.

7.8

It is usual to get a small room in London but due to early booking, the price as acceptable and I got the quiet room I'e requsted. Actually, the room was larger than @ a 4Star I changed to due to a business appointment. Also, the bathroom was recently refurbished and the room contained an adequate desk. However, the maid ought to pull the bed out and clean behind every once in a while. Staff @ breafast did not have a good command of English and English breakfast fell through due to lack of eggs one morning.

4.4

Staff were fine but the room was very poorly decorated and very small!

9.1

Comodissimo hotel a 100mt dalla metropolitana, estremamente pulito, camere minuscole, ma se siete veri turisti dovrete dormirci solo la notte, quindi più che sufficiente. Colazione forse un po'scarsa, ma intanto poi si mangiucchia durante tutto il giorno! Consigliatissimo

7.6

The Hotel is very nice, quiet and clean, and international breakfast (included), is quite good. It is very comfortable for its locations; is situated near the tube station (Gloucester), a 24H supermarket, a bank, and Starbucks coffee house. Even if isn’t in central position you can reach Piccadilly in 15 min.

5.1

Staff were charmless.Family room was large, and quite well funished but pull out double bed was pretty uncomfortable. Breakfast was basic. Cleanliness was fair. Located on a quiet square 2 minute walk from Gloucester Road tube. We paid £150 for family room.

9.4

9 mature customers enjoyed a 2 night break. We had a friendly welcome from helpful staff, clean quiet rooms with very comfortable beds and a good value continental breakfast. In the lovely breakfast room the kitchen staff were so happy they were singing. Excellent location. Don't book a cab via the reception, £20 to Euston (even though it was a mercedes!)

4.8

After traveling for most of the day; we were greeted rather rudely by the desk person- demanding we pay in advance for our stay...ok, no problem. Right after we pay is when she tells us the elevator is broken and we are on the top floor! Our room was tiny- only room to manage around one side of the bed- the bathroom had some problems which one mentioned were fixed, but seemed like stuff that shouldn't have been broken in the first place- (the shower door barely hanging, toilet wouldn't flush, etc...) so I wouldn't rate the hotel being great - but a decent value for the area-lots of 3-5 star in the same 3 blocks. This hotel is no more than a 2 star.

7.2

Seria conveniente que en recepcion las personas supieran defenderse en otros idiomas que no fuera tan solo el ingles. De todos tan solo se defendia uno.

8.4

Very nice hotel. We can recommend it. We were two adults and two children and had a nice big room in at nice hotel close to the Underground and the museums we wanted to visit. The only negative thing was the breakfast hostesses who clearly saw the guests as a bother. They went about with extreme noise, banging all the cups and plates together so that we could hardly talk, and I have never before experienced to be kicked out at half past nine. Usually you are alowed to eat up the food on your plate - we had maybe three bites left so it would have taken us another 30 seconds. The girls were too much in a hurry to wait for that.

5.7

Excellent location. Very easy to reach by tube from Heathrow. Room was not very clean, carpet stained and dusty. Pink soap scum throughout shower. Room was far too small for two people and their suitcases.

9.6

A lovely modernised old mansion in a quiet street, yet very handy to the tube(direct line in from Heathrow), also the double-decker sight-seeing bus stops at the end of the street. Plenty restaurants nearby, also a small supermarket. Breakfast was pleasant, in nice light room with courtyard view. We wtayed as a family with teenagers, and would recomment this for anyone wanting a centrally located quiet hotel

5.3

Tiny room! My husband and I had to consult each other if we wanted to move around or go into the bathroom. The staff wasn't helpful until I needed to download my boarding pass and the printer wasn't hooked up to the computer. The woman on duty logged into British air and got the seat assignments and boarding passes for me. This received 5 stars in my book. If only the rest of the staff had been as helpful. With the prices in London and the current shape of the dollar I gather that this isn't a bad deal though. The location was very good.

6.7

If you only need a clean bed for the night in central london and don't require all the expensive extras, then The Abcone Hotel can be ideal. Reception was efficient. My single room was on the top floor. It was tiny but I was only in it a few hours to sleep. (watch out for the window opening wide if you have kids). It was quiet and the bed was fine. Carpet a bit grubby. The shower was OK but the sink tap water wouldn't run cold. Continental breakfast (cereal, toast, juice and coffee) was all I needed. Cooked breakfast available at £3.95 extra. Overall good value at £55 by London standards for a clean room in Kensington, only 100m from Gloucester Road tube station.

9.0

Excellent location. The room was very clean. The breakfast was poor.

7.5

convenient situated. good value for money. very clean. appropriate size of room (single)

7.2

Nice hotel in Kensington, easy access to Underground, calm zone, many restaurants. Old building renovated, clean and quiet. Expensive (85 GBP for a double with breakfast) compared to just about anywhere else in Europe for the same kind of hotel but then, this is London...

6.9

Good location.Direct from Heathrow on Picadilly line(Gloucester Road) and walk 2 blocks. Nice pub nearby and the hop-on-hop-off bus has a stop in front of the pub. Hotel was clean.

8.1

Simple quality hotel with a friendly and helpful staff, in a quiet and central area.

8.1

The structure has good clean service. Room (mine was single) was quite small but confortable. Hotel is located in the one of the best part of London: South Kensington! No noise in the room, only the sound of the birds in the small park in front in the morning. Underground is very close, about 3 minute walk and it is the Piccadilly Line(line from Heathrow) that the journey takes about 35 minutes. Continental breakfast is normal, but no one tried the English breakfast.

1.6

I travel a lot for bussines but now I can say that they have need to came in Italy and study how keep an hotel. I will never came back in thathotel

5.8

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were small but adequate. It is close to the Tube and bus route. We enjoyed our stay and a part of that was due to the hotel.

9.2

Excellent location. Clean room and bathroom. Considering the prices in London, it's not too expensive. Good bed and perfect heating. It was possible to make coffe and tea in the room. For us, it was perfect.

7.8

We only stayed one night between landing in London and flying out the next afternoon but felt the accommodation was as represented on the web (small but serviceable). We found it easily from the tube and went to a restaurant in the immediate vicinity - walking to it and feeling quite safe. The breakfast offered at the hotel was fine and very convenient.

9.1

The Hotel was exactly as indicated in the Venere Webpage.The location is excellent, near to the tube station and many others facilities as restaurants, museums etc...

7.3

It is nice...not to much expensice and most of all there is one underground station almost in fornt of it....

7.2

The room was very small, however, it was quite at night. The staffs were polite and helpful. The hotel is about 2 minute walk from the subway station which is quite convenient. I would probably find a place a bit bigger next time.

9.3

I enjoyed my stay so much that I recommended the hotel to a group that is going to London. Its location is one of the best for those intending to see serious cultural aspects of the city.

9.9

We were two mothers with two daughters. It was very important to us to have a neat hotel situated close to the tube and to all major attractions. We were fully satisfied: our room for four was waiting for us, prepared , spacious and clean. The tube station was in one minute walk from the hotel and there was a small supermarket 24 hours open opposite the tube. Continental breakfast, that was included in price is not very rich, but quite satisfying. On the whole we were very delighted to find such a nice place to stay in London for such a good price. We'll advise anyone to come and stay in this hotel, and we'll surely return to it when in London.

hotel très bien situé dans un quartier tranquile et à deux pas du métro. Nos chambres étaient spacieuses et calmes.Le petit dej compris avec la chambre est continental, il faut payer un supplément pour un breakfast. Le personnel n'est pas multilingues et n'est pas compétent pour des informations touristiques.

9.0

Very nice hotel, nice people and clean rooms. A low price hotel in a high price shopping area. My best recommendations!!

6.0

From the website it was not clear whether WiFi access was included in room price and it was not. It was also really difficult to keep that internet connection working stable. The room could have been cleaned better on my arrival.

4.8

HOTEL BIEN SITUADO. EL PERSONAL DEL HOTEL NO ATIENDE BIEN A LOS CLIENTES, NO INFORMA Y NO LLEVA EL TIPO DE VESTUARIO ADEQUADO. eN LA RECEPCIÓN NO TENÍAN NI UN PLANO PARA INFORMAR A LOS CLIENTES.

4.4

We had a separate 2 day and 1 day stay (16th-18th Nov and 19th-20th). We checked in for the first 2 days and they gave us a basement room. It was really small and one of the bedsheets even had a hole! The shower curtain was not clean! I have pictures to prove it.It seems that this room has been converted and was not originally a hotel room. When we asked for another room, they said that they were sold out and did not have other rooms. We asked for a non smoking room, but incidentally, the ladies that work at the hotel smoke right there in the basement and you can smell the smoke from the room! Our second stay was better and I had insisted that I would only take upper floor rooms,which turned out to be more spacious! I would not stay here again, would rather at the other hotels in proximity(there are a bunch of them around there)and pay a few extra bucks! The only good memories of the hotel that I have are the location,which is within walking distance to the tube. There was also a great representative that we found at first check-out who was very informative and accomodating.(do not remember the name).

7.7

good location (near to the tube), small room but clean. poor breakfast.

7.1

Esta ubicado en una zona tranquila y muy buena de Londres(South Kensinton)a 2 minutos andando de la parada de metro Gloucester Road (Picadilly line), por lo que se accede a cualquier sitio con mucha facilidad. Las habitaciones tienen un tamaño medio y un pequeño pero limpio baño. Nosotros tuvimos una estancia muy agradable. No es que sea el mejor hotel que puedan ver, pero tiene lo justo y necesario para pasar una estancia estupenda!!!
