My stay at Lexham Gardens Hotel was quite a mixed bag. While the location was superb for exploring London's attractions, the overall experience left much to be desired.

My stay at 1 Lexham Gardens was quite disappointing. The hotel had potential, with a beautiful exterior and a decent location, but my experience was marred by issues such as a dirty room and poor customer service. I encountered cleanliness problems, significant delays during check-in, and a lack of responsiveness from the staff when I raised my concerns. Overall, it left a negative impression on my trip to London.

Rooms

5.0

The room I was initially given was frankly unacceptable. There were stains on the walls and the shower was mouldy. After complaining, I was moved to another room, which was an improvement, but still had issues like a broken door lock. Cleanliness clearly needs attention.

Service

5.0

Although the staff were friendly, their service fell short. I waited too long for check-in, and the response to my complaints about the room issues was lacking urgency. A maintenance issue took time to address without any apology.

Location

5.0

The location is decent, within walking distance to tube stations and nearby attractions like Hyde Park. However, the promise of a quick two-minute walk to the tube was misleading, as it was more like a 10-15 minute stroll.

Dining

I was left disappointed by the breakfast service which was slow and underwhelming. On one occasion, I only received a small yogurt and a slice of toast despite requesting an early breakfast the night before.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities seemed basic and outdated. I expected more for the price, especially in terms of room maintenance and cleanliness.
