Southall Hotels with Airport pickup service

Place was clean. Hopefully they can have toilets and wash room for every floor. But staff are helpful and accommodating. Location is easy to locate just that it’s a busy one and can’t really help to be noisy

Very simple but as wanted for a few nights. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. WiFi was often good but a bit intermittent. Shower was excellent - lovely water pressure and very warm. Good location with station and lots of bus stops within 5 minute walk. There was some mould on the bathroom ceiling and the whole building was slightly scruffy. However, for a few nights it was perfectly acceptable.

The price of this hotel is not high, which is the only reason why I rashly decided to live here. It is actually a homestay, not far from Heathrow Airport. A taxi is about 35 pounds. But later found that there is also a bus to the airport nearby. I didn't expect to have such a hygienic room in the UK. It felt like no one had lived in it for a while. Some stains on the sheets made me feel very uncomfortable. It took me half a day to find my reservation and check out At that time, no one could be found, so I had to leave the key in the room and leave. Downstairs has a strange smell, and there are broken furniture everywhere, as if it is under/to be renovated. There is a kettle in the room, which is full of scale and rust. It should have been unused for a long time. There is a small park and a dilapidated small bridge in the nearby small village, which has a sense of age.

Free parking right outside premises, nice greeting from host. I was in a room on 1st floor, which had a double bed and a desk. In room was also a fridge for guest use. Bathroom was a shared bathroom. The bed was not comfortable, I could feel the join in the divan base through the thin matress. The cup provided in the room had a chip in the rim. The shower took a long time in the morning to come to temperature. Not all of the TV channels in the room provided a good,constant picture.

My stay was comfortable and despite being in a single room I had everything you would want and expect. The breakfast was also good. The hotel is about 45mins journey from central London and a 15 min walk to the tube, so not ideally located. The only negatives are: ~ Cleanliness - the room was not that clean when you look closely. With dust in corners and a weird musty smell in the room. Stains on towels and bedding. Whilst they where clean they still had stains. ~ No soundproofing - the walls are paper thin, could even hear someone nextdoor blowing their nose. ~ General state of room - only one light worked and the room fixtures and fittings where rather worn. That being said I would still stay here again but only if paying a really cheap price and only for a night or two. (I paid about £35 a night and wouldn't pay more than that)

The location is convenient. 10 mins walk to underground n go to Central London, just left my car at the hotel car park (free parking) till late evening. Room is spacious and clean, bed is comfortable and it’s quiet at night. The bar/restaurant looks classic, though I didn’t eat anything there.

I stayed here a couple of times but the last time was the last! I booked in and paid in advance then on the day, I checked in and offered my photo ID as I had done previously and it had been accepted before, however on this occasion I was refused check-in as they had now decided only a passport would be acceptable which I didn’t have. The unhelpful staff and then the manager offered no solution and just shrugged and said “nothing we can do”. It should again be noted that my photo ID was acceptable before but not now – it should also be noted that the confirmation email only requested “photo ID” which I provided. No specific ID was asked for. So it seems this hotel makes up the terms and condition s as they go and seemingly change them when they feel like it! The room had been paid for so there was no chance of my running off without paying. After some time I finally resolved this by my husband racing home and emailing a copy of the passport which was grudgingly accepted otherwise my I was looking at nowhere to stay after an early, start at 4 a.m., a very long day then finally the hopeless staff at this place refusing entry to a customer who had paid way in advance causing a lot of stress! The receptionist told me they needed the passport to verify the address – however my address is not in the passport so this is a bit confusing. The manager confirmed this as well as confirming no entry and no help. This is really terrible service as they could have easily verified the address with other documents I had but this was not accepted – my ID clearly showed me as senior management at a local large organisation but the staff were unhelpful and seemed totally disinterested that I would have nowhere to stay – this part of London gets booked quickly hence my booking way in advance so the likelihood of getting a room somewhere else was very remote. It would have been simple to verify me but the staff were more interested in being difficult. So my feeling is the staff had maybe screwed up with another customer and had decided to ad hoc changes to the terms leaving me almost stranded. It could also have been a method of releasing a room for someone else – maybe a friend of the hotel. Who knows but I would be very careful using this place as they seem to have some very dubious and “flexible” terms for staying here and you may get caught out. I will never book here again and as a vice president of a large global organisation that hosts many international clients, I would certainly not recommend this place. It's short sighted of this hotel to be so unhelpful as they will have lost business but their lack of help displays a clear lack of interest in the customer. Please book here if you are happy to risk sleeping on the park bench instead of a hotel room! No doubt the hotel will quote they have to have the passport but given it was not required a few weeks before and is not requested on the booking confirmation then decide for yourself. There was a

Great hotel. A minute walk from the tube. Great breakfast. Clean rooms. Great staff. Will stay here again

We express our gratitude to the staff of the hotel. I would like to note that everyone is very friendly and polite, so an atmosphere of good rest and good mood is created, we hope to come again! Many thanks to everyone!

Mercure London Heathrow - Saturday 19th November 2022 - 15:15 Entrance is on street level door and has automatic doors. On arrival there was a coach party queuing and the queue went out the main door. I joined that queue and eventually checked in approximately 20 minutes after I joined the queue. The male receptionist seemed flustered and the female receptionist didn’t seem to be doing much. I’ve checked into other hotels where I have been part of a coach group and they normally make us all stand to one side and then call individuals/ couple over to check in; that way when other guest arrive at least one of the receptionist can switch to the new guest and then they don’t have to join a long queue and be inconvenienced. Our room was on the ground floor but I did see lifts. Room: The usual things like a hairdryer, iron in the wardrobe, fridge and safe in a cupboard and on top of the cabinet was the coffee/ tea facilities but no spoons to stir your drinks. Big TV - there seem to be a decent amount of channels my only issue was the back of the control was missing so you had to jiggle the batteries to get it to work; I took a photo just in case they try to charge me for damage. Bed was comfy, pillows were ok. There is a lamp and spotlight either side of the bed. The switch on the wall by the bed operates the main light, you switch the lamp/ spotlight off using two black buttons under the arm of the lamp; not an obvious way to control the light. A desk with lamp and phone, quite handy if you have some work to do. Bathroom: Floors a bit weird, it looks like they have stuck some Christmas paper over the original tiles to cover something up, poor workmanship, looks cheap, not a good look. Usual towels and shampoos and things; I was going to use the bath mat in the shower but when I saw how dirty and stained it was I didn’t bother. The sealant around the sink and bath taps needs redoing and there is rust around the bathroom taps. Toilet handle is a bit loose and it took 3 attempts to get it to flush. Parking: There are two levels to the parking, I drove into the top level, very tight parking and for a hotel of this size there isn’t enough spaces. I informed the reception I’d parked my car and was informed of the £16 charge for 24 hours. I paid my fee and entered my registration on a system. Bar: Small bar but plenty of seating. We asked a member of staff at what time the bar closed and we were told last orders were at 22:45 which would imply if you went to the bar at this time you could still get a drink. At 22:40 they were cashing up the till. Initially when you walk in the room it looks really nice but then you notice the faults. This morning I went to get something from the car and as I walked through reception you could see the tables from last night hadn’t been cleared as they still had glasses on tables from last night. Overall it was average, initially the room looked lovely but on closer inspection it needs a revamp and att
