Glynne Court Hotel

I have stayed in much more expensive London hotels that were both filthier, noicier and less comfortable than this one, but this is definitely a hotel for shorter tourist trips where you travel light (cramped room and no elevator) and stay in the room as little as possible. The queen-size bed was nevertheless very comfortable, granting us a good night's sleep. We stayed for five nights, and the bed sheets were changed after three. They also changed our towels every day.

The location is also tremendous with Marble Arch, Hyde Park and Oxford street only a few hundred meters away.

The breakfast however, is just a joke with two small pieces of toast, a packet of corn flakes and a tube of nescafe. You also have to enjoy this "meal" in your room. The receptionists (all of them) were generally more interested in speaking in the phone or talking to visiting friends than serving the guests.

With a few reservations, we recommend this hotel for shorter visits in London.

On arrival the clerk looked at me like i was something stuck to his shoe,then tried to charge me again for the room i had already paid up front for by cc at my travel agents ( INCIDENTALY I NOTICE THAT OTHER FOLKS ON HERE SAID £60.00 PER NIGHT,I WAS CHARGED £85.00 PER NIGHT).After throwing the key on the desk he then told me my room was on the top floor,i asked for help with my bags,not a chance of it!!!On arrival in the room the place stank,the carpets stank,the bed stank and the so called tea and coffee facility consisted of a kettle and two cups,one of which was dirty,i opened the fridge BIG MISTAKE, a rancid bag of food and blackspot fungi all over the doorseals etc ,i had to stay one night as it was too late to find anywhere else,in the morning i was covered in insect bites. NEVER EVER AGAIN!! I`d rather sleep on a bench in Baghdad High Street.I happilly let them keep the money i had already paid in advance and beat a hasty retreat to pastures new

This is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

My mom and i booked it through a student travel agency and the pictures on the website made it look very nice. When we arrived however, there was no sign of anything that was on the website.

At first we were put in a room on the first floor which had stained carpets, a broken two drawer dresser, curtains that were falling off the curtain rod, chipped and cracked window panes, and a less then attractive bathroom which came with only face towels and soap that had already been previously used.

After complaining, we were moved to a room on the first floor which was only better because it had wooden floors. The chairs in the room looked like they had been found in a dumpster... they were completely covered in dirt and stains. The bed covers were also so dirty that i jumped over them and onto the sheets everytime in hopes that i wouldn't get any of their germs on me. Let's just say i had to take some tylenol pm to get any sleep that night.

The only bonus is that the man working behind the reception is very nice... and actually helped us call around to other hotels. We ended up having to pay for one night so we stayed but we ran out of there as soon as possible the next morning and missed out on the free breakfast which consisted of a few pieces of bagged bread thrown in a toaster located by the reception window.

Bottom line, the place is nasty. Don't stay there.
