Avoca House Hotel

( 1 star , London , United Kingdom )

The comment I would make is that "you get what you pay for". The hotel offers value for money bearing this in mind. First impressions are not good as the entrance and staircase could be improved with some new carpeting. The room I had was adequate but dated, bed linen etc was clean and the beds comfortable. The owners were most affable and very nice to talk to. For a 1 or 2 night stay the hotel would be fine.

The only real downside was the noise from the workmen on the scaffolding outside. As my friend and I were staying in London to see a concert and were necessarily having a late night, the noise started earlier than either of us would have liked.

My room wasn't ready when I arrived and when I asked why, they told me that check out was at 2, which was the same time as check-in (1st time I've heard that...anywhere). The completely nasty woman at the registration desk told me I should have booked a

What upset me the most about this hotel is that there was no cleaning from one day to the next. It is practically a hostel, so if you expect any kind of service, forget. Ah!! very noisy room also.

Good money for good accomodation, Perfect for young people.

Hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We've gotten a lot of information on public transport and how to reach places we wanted to visit and how to do that the most efficient way. The room was very big, with provate bathroom. Carpet everywhere was giving the room a sorto of old fashioned/dusty look, but bed sheets were clean. Continental breakfast. We would certainly come back to this hotel for a second visit

My room wasn't ready when I arrived and when I asked why, they told me that check out was at 2, which was the same time as check-in (1st time I've heard that...anywhere). The completely nasty woman at the registration desk told me I should have booked a night earlier to guarantee access to my room when I arrived (i.e., pay for a night I wasn't using the room). The place smelled horrible, the towel they gave me was worn out & tattered, they never cleaned my room, and the breakfast I paid for was never ready (I ended up going to Marks & Spencer down the street to pick up scones in the mornings). I left after 3 nights and went to a better hotel. Only good thing was the room was clean when I finally checked in. Still wasn't worth the money, though.

I like Avoca House Hotel even it's an old bulding. I have a complaint about the cooking odor of the employees, this was the only negative thing at the hotel.
