Westbury Hotel - London 51.49374, -0.18992

I'd never stayed in this hotel so took a gamble based on the previous reviews. I'm glad I booked it now because it's not too bad. Tidy/clean/warm/friendly staff. All you need really for a basic hotel. The dining room is clean and the continentla breakfast was simple but tasty (you can't really make bad toast!) For laptop users, you get 1 hours free wi-fi which is handy. The downside is that I booked it via www.hotels.co.uk and the final price was bumped up dramatically due to 'taxes' whatever the hell they are! Cheek.

For the cost and the location of this hotel, it's good-value. The woman on the front desk was lovely, and very helpful.

The service from the staff and the cleanliness at The Westbury hotel was excellent. We used the hotel as somewhere to sleep and shower and for that purpose it is ideal. It's not luxurious but for what we required it was more than adequate.

This hotel was in a nice, quiet area of London. The price was reasonable and it ha free Wi-Fi. The only thing I would comment on negatively was that the breakfast was horrible. Instant coffee and meager food choices. I had to go out to a restaurant for breakfast.

Fairly large breakfast included. Only three/four blocks from the tube, and very near to a 24 hour supermarket.

The room was pretty cramped (even though it was only me with two single beds) and the bathroom was more of a closet then a room. But the place was clean, cheap and 3min walk to Earl's Court metro stop on the Piccadilly line which is great for sightseeing and going out. So if you just need a cheap bed that's not at a hostel, stay here.

"adequate" is the best word to describe this hotel. If you're on a budget and aren't too picky about comfort then this might be the place for you. Everything was just so; no more and no less than the price. The rooms are incredibly small. I realize space is expensive but this was ridiculous. The rooms were reasonably clean though.

The hotel is clean, friendly and in a very good location. The breakfast is basic and the double room was small, but you get what you pay for. It was fine for a short break but for something longer it would be cramped. It has a hostel atmosphere with room facilities you would expect in a basic hotel (en-suit, hair dryer, tea/coffee, TV, safe, etc.) If I went to London again I would defiantly consider staying here again.

This is a really basic hotel. The rooms are tiny and their really aren't any amenities to speak of. However, it's clean, serviceable, the staff is friendly and it's CHEAP. With the dollar in its current state London is expensive so finding a hotel deal is key. The area isn't bad. Convenient to a lot of things. There are quite a few small bargain hotels in this neighborhood, some of them quite charming. Look around if you get a chance. If you're looking to save some money and don't mind a basic place with a small room I'd say this hotel isn't a bad bet.

I was pleased with this hotel - the receptionist was very pleasant, and the room clean, freshly decorated and pleasant, with decent en suite facitilities. Not the place to spend a week maybe, but for a one to three night stopever, good. I would certainly stay again. The hotel is also well situated.

I had very low expectations give the inexpensive cost. Great location near Earl's Court station. Room small but comfortable for overnight sleeping. Quiet street (had window open facing front street). Day staff at desk most helpful. And breakfast was simple but fine. If looking for an inexpensive room for sleeping while exploring London, this is recommended.

Our room was a bit small, but we also booked last minute; it was very clean and pleasant. The staff was amazing, very helpful and knew London well, and were very friendly.

I got one of the newly refurbished rooms, which was quite adequate for what I needed. There was reasonable heating provided (an important consideration in December!), there ws plenty of hot water in the shower, and a TV. The shower was a little on the cramped side, but the bathroom was otherwise okay. Bed was comfy. The only thing I would say was that there was no fridge in the room. The Westbury is a useful base for exploring London, and it's VERY close to the Earls Court tube station. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

For tyhe price and proximity to where we needed to be hotel was good. Small room but with bathroom. Ideal if all it's required for is sleeping. Good tube links. Only problem being the matress on the bed was too soft.

The room was small and the breakfast was simple, but that was exactly as expected. We did not come London to spend our time in the hotel room. The bed was also a liltle short.

This is primarily a hotel where you put your bags in your room and then go sight seeing. The room and bathrooms are small compared to US hotels. Some rooms are dark. So, make sure you ask for a room that gets lots of natural sunlight. Internet access is available in public areas and some rooms. Not all rooms have internet. So, check with hotel. (Tip: Room 102 has great internet.) Conveniently located near Earl's Court tube station. Earl's Court is a great station as it has 2 big lines (Piccadilly and District). So, access to sight seeing spots is outstanding. Customer service was great. Room linens and sheets were clean. Continental breakfast included.

Had a reservation for 1 night. Room and bathroom were ok, a little worn but clean. Close to the subway and street of restaurant options.

I stayed at Westbury Hotel for 3 nights recently and was very pleased with my experience there. The hotel is very convenient to Heathrow and to all the attractions of Central London. The rooms are very small but well kep and clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating of special requests when possible. I'd recommend this hotel if you're looking for a no-frills place in a great location at a terrific price for London.

We booked our stay based on previous reviews and the room we saw advertised online. We knew it was not "deluxe" but felt it would be fine for our needs. We were utterly dismayed when we saw our tiny cubicle with one small window. When we opened it for some air, someone in another room was smoking and blowing their smoke out the window and directly into our room. It was unbearable. The room was so small, we could hardly walk by the bed. Not at all as advertised.

As hotels go in London, this is ok. It is convenient and close to Earls Court Tube and 24 hour Sainsbury. While the front reception was really lovely, the service staff at the back end were really sourly and came into my room without knocking on my door when I complained that my floor was gritty. Relatively clean. The size of room is fine, better than several others in London. I would go back there again.

The room we received was clean and looked like it was recently refurbished. The hotel has a nice breakfast and the location is pretty convenient. However, I will not go back to the Westbury hotel and I would not recommend it. I think we could have handled the fact that the room was unbelievably small if it weren't for the horrible bed which literaly had springs popping out of the mattress. It's really a disgrace to provide hotel guests with such a shoddy bed, even in a relatively cheap hotel. The upside was that we hated the room so much that we hardly spent any time in it and saw much more of London.

thinking of the amount payed for our stay, wasnt it woth it. The Breakfast was more snacks than food. only available food was white toast bread, butter, honey, jam cornflakes and eggs. When we got thirsty at night, were we dependent on Sainsbury across Cromwell Rd. because the hotel didnt have a vending machine. The dining area had no childseat, but a travelbed for babies where given to us. uppon arrival, we saw plenty of hair and dust in the room from the previous users. I would strongly recommend a reduction in price before a stay at the Westbury. The receptionist where the most positive thinf about the hotel. A very kind and helpfull person. We would definately drop by the hotel just to say hi. The hotel is in the central part of London, and within walking range of most sights. pram we hard to handle in the hotel aswell as getting it in thru the main entrance.

The location of this hotel was wonderful. It was 2 minutes from Earl's Court Tube Station and only a 20 minute walk from Kensington High Street. The staff were very friendly. This was the best value for money we have encountered anywhere.

The hotel is in a very convenient location near Earl's court station, and close to nice places like Victoria & Albert and the Natural History & Science museums; it is within walking distance to Harrod's too. But boy, go to your room, and my goodness. After coming back from dinner (10pm) and have some sleep for a business meeting the next day, I found myself in a boiling hot room. The window was open since I've left (4pm). It was so bad I got sick after half a hour. They've managed to relocate me after some heated discussions. Not for summer. And the day wasn't even hot (18oC)!

Clean, convient, friednly

This is a cheap and cheerful hotel. Lobby & communal areas reasonably smart, breakfast basic but perfectly adequate. Room was a bit like a broom cupboard with double bed wedged against 3 of the walls so not exactly spacious but clean enough and the shower was good. If you're expecting luxury then you won't get it in London for this low price but if you just need a good value place to rest your head, shower and breakfast then this is probably as good as anywhere. Handy for Earls Court & Gloucester Road tubes..

Very clean room and bathroom. Not sure about the bad review below, but I had a very nice stay at the Westbury. In fact, I didn't realize how well I had it until I visited some other european cities. Breakfast was hard boiled eggs, toast, jellies and nutella, OJ, apple juice, coffee, cereal, etc. Free wifi in the lobby and breakfast room. Great location - 5 minute walk from Earl's Court tube (subway) station. Room was about 14 inches wider than the double bed, plus a hallway connecting it to the closet, bathroom, and main door. Relatively small room, but it worked for two just fine. Definitely recommend this hotel to others.

I didn't know what to expect based on the mixed reviews, but the room was very clean, if very small. The hotel staff is very nice, and provided a free pack of tylenol when needed. The breakfast is pretty simple, cereal and toast, but saves a lot of money compared to buying breakfast in the city. As others have noted, wireless is only accessible from the breakfast room, but this did not turn out to be a major problem.

Hotel was very close to undergrounds and very easy to find The receptionist who seemed to be there all day everyday was cheery, helpfull and polite. The room was comfortable and tidy but could have done with some air conditioning or even a fan. Will stay there on my next London trip.

The staffs are very helpful and friendly. Good facilities. Slightly far from the TUBE station. Limited choice for breakfast. Reasonable price for the size of the room.

Was resonably pleasent, room was a bit small, and some staff seemed very miserable, but was cheap and easy reachable.

The location of this hotel is excellent. The condition of room, however, is very different. In my case, the first room was in the basement, and terrible; a bit smell and couldn't watch TV. The second one was opposite; clean and bright. The impression of this hotel might be very different, depending on your room. So you should ask a lady to change the room, if you disliked a room allocated.

Let's start with the pubic hairs on my sheets. YES, they did not change the sheets on my bed from the previous guest. The room was less than 7' X 10' wide, including the bathroom. If you are taller than 5'9, your feet will hit the wall and you will have to sleep at an angle. The "free internet" is only if you are in the hotel lobby, because they did not have a router that could broadcast further (I was on the 3rd floor). The beds were so old that the springs were coming through the mattress padding in places (my back litterally hurt the following day). The free continental breakfast was cereal and frozen orange juice. It said it lasted from something like 7:00 am to 10:00 am, but when I went down at 9:00, the only thing out was the cereal and I had to ask for something to drink and they brought me a pint of orange juice from frozen concentrate. Yes, to say the least I was very disappointed and stayed the two nights I paid for and then checked out the following day and went to a more expensive hotel. If you can afford better, spend the extra money and stay somewhere else. Oh, the bathroom was recently remodeled and seemed clean, but the shower drain was slow and you had to keep the water turned down or it would run out on the floor. I stayed in room 302.

Really close to the tube and easy to find. Not the fanciest of hotels but it's comfortable and the breakfast is grand for what you pay. Nice and clean, and the staff are lovely. I would definitely stay again when I come to London next time!

Great Location. Nice people.

This one of a million similar little hotels in the Earls Court area of London. At the price, one can't expect very much other than a bed and four walls -- if you're looking for very much more, you'll have to go up in price. In this, the Westbury was what I had expected with only one particular annoyance -- my room was a basement room and creaking floorboards on the floor above woke me early each morning. The breakfast is fairly unremarkable, the instant coffee is insulting, but again par for the course. The cheery (if slightly manic) Russian woman at reception gave the experience a bit of a fun/carnivalesque edge. Also free internet -- if that's important to you. Both the hotel's own (which doesn't cover the entire hotel) and from a free network located nearby. I don't know if all rooms have access, but my basement room had decent access to the free network, enough for email, etc.

Helpful staff, clean room and low cost. Friendly people; one gentlemen from the street even called the hotel for me to find the direction. The hotel is hard to find. It's about 5 minutes walk from the earl's court metro station. From the St. Pancras Internation station take the Picadelly line and get out at Earl's station. Cross the Earl's court avenue into Hogarth avenue at the end of hogarth avenue take a left the 2nd left is collinghan place, westbury hotel is on the left.

room too small but for price i guess it was not bad

Nice hotel in a good location close to underground, request a non-basement room as they are next to the dining room and the noise travels through the walls as if the walls were not there! I was changed to a ground floor room immediately and it was fine.

this s the 2nd time at this hotel and i had a better room the last time!this one was dirty and noisy

easy to travel very near to underground station but room was too small and shower

The room was small and the beds not quite comfortable. The breakfast was minimal...boiled eggs, toast, cereal, juice and instant coffee. But, the location was great and staff was friendly. A good place to touch down for the night if you are sightseeing or out and about a lot. Price was the best around the area.

Hotel is extremely small, with barely enough room for two people to stay in. If you are just there to sleep, no problem. However, if you plan on being there longer or throughout the day, the hotel can feel very cramped. Very clean and good service, and not to far from the metro line.

I only stayed here for 1 night but the room was very good for the price- clean and well kept. it was in a nice area very close to earls court tube stop and a few restaurants. However breakfast was probably the worst i have had at a hotel- bread cheese and some not very nice cereal with far too few tables so we had to stand for 10 mins. But for the price area and rooms i have to recoomend it highly

Clean and clear. Nice people, helpful and kind. Very good for its price.

This guest did not leave a comment.

A value for money hotel, superb on cleanliness,good continental breakfast, good position with easy acess to central London, only downside was the room size it was small but was ok just for sleeping bathroom was very small, very quet at night and that is what you need. we will be going back.

Hotel was warm clean staff were friendly. For a cheap sleep in London our room was surprisingly peaceful and comfortable.

a cosy hotel for the price , easy to find , would stay again

Great little place. The staff were really helpful and friendly and its location is very convenient to Earls Court and Gloucester Rd Tube stations. The breakfast is self service and does the job! Yes, the room was small but it was comfortable and clean; perfect it you just want somewhere to have a hot shower, hit London, then come back for a sleep.
