The hotel offers clean and comfy rooms with friendly staff. The rooms are well-maintained but lack the modern vibe seen in the reception/bar area. The location is superb for easy access to public transport, especially Hammersmith Tube station, although restaurant information may be limited. The dining experience falls short in quality and service, reminiscent of army-style meals. Despite this, the hotel is a great choice for those attending events at the Hammersmith Apollo.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were exceptionally clean and full of modern amenities, like the Nespresso machine, but the bed sheet was not as fresh as expected. The staff were incredibly helpful and even went beyond my expectations, making my visit to London super easy with a useful app. The location was perfect, just steps away from the Piccadilly line and all the essentials in Hammersmith. The dining options were delicious but a bit pricey for my taste. Overall, a great value for money.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with a lovely settee, but adjusting the Air Con was a challenge. The huge comfy bed and blackout blinds made for a restful sleep. The service was mostly pleasant, but it was surprising to encounter a lack of knowledge regarding Scottish currency. The location was convenient for the underground and Apollo Theatre, although the distance to Hammersmith station was unexpected. The dining experience had a good variety of food, but the pricing seemed a bit high for what was offered. Overall, the hotel provided a comfortable stay with a few minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a good size, clean, with a good TV and internet, although the hot water was a bit unpredictable and sharing the floor with a large wedding party was noisy. The hotel's basic and minimalistic design was noticeable throughout.

The hotel had a view of the construction site from the bed, and the supply in the room had been closed for a long time. Despite hanging the tag out, the cleaning was not done. The service was unbelievably helpful, especially from Arianne, Meri, Andrea, and Salah, who interacted with us in a fantastic manner. The location was close to bus and underground lines, but not central. The dining experience was good, although when busy, the coffee machines ran out quickly. The facility was dated and tired, with mold in the bathroom.

The hotel's location is fantastic, being super close to the Hammersmith subway stop and within walking distance to numerous pubs, restaurants, and shops. The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff were a mix of polite and blunt encounters. The dining experience fluctuated between good and a rip-off. The overall package includes great amenities but falls short in terms of consistently friendly service and value for money.

I found my room very spacious and impeccably clean. They even provided complimentary bottles of water along with the usual tea and coffee supplies.

The hotel was a letdown in terms of room cleanliness with unexpected findings in the toilet; however, it was excellent for our planned activities. The service, particularly from the conference and events team, was appalling, but it was redeemed by the helpful and diverse staff members. The location was perfect for accessing the Apollo and Hammersmith tube, although the tube station opposite made it hard to reach. Overall, the facilities were adequate.
