Had a fantastic stay here with my 2 grandchildren. Kids eat free which i thought was fantastic. We used Lynxx taxis to travel from station to hotel and from hotel to warner bros studio and back they were excellent. Set fare and were by us in minutes, highly recommend. The staff were friendly, caring and polite all through the hotel. The room was spot on. The pool was lovely, it was warm and not to crowded. I thought the facilities were spotless. The meals in the restaurant were really good and not over priced. I will definitely use this hotel again if coming to London. Area lovely and there is an m&s food next door for water or milk if needed. Hotel in general was spotless and well maintained.

Disliked: Amenities
Have to pay £7 extra for parking. Not enough tea/milk in rooms. Room was freezing cold. Very rude receptionist at pool. And the pool smelt of urine! Evening meal- kids usually have 3 courses but only 2 on offer here. Breakfast had raw croissants and very unpleasant tasting scrambled eggs.

Staff were excellent, from check-in to check-out they were brilliant. Derek was amazing and was a real credit to the hotel. He was so attentive to everyone he came into contact with and is brilliant with both children and adults, he certainly has a real way with people. Fahd, the head-chef was really friendly and positive. It was nice to see both enjoying what they do and it showed! Great location for Harry Potter studios.

Service was very good. Easy to get dinner at restaurant, didn't have to book. Quick service. Room was all good. Bathroom could have been a bit cleaner as there were hairs on the bath. Breakfast good apart from the bowls and plates being dirty, had to go through quite a few in the stack to get clean ones. Would stay again. Parking great and friendly staff.
