Hotel Cavendish

quite a good deal for the area

Ventajas: great location, nice breakfast, helpful staff, ensuite rooms

Desventajas: very noisy (room facing Gower Street), windows not well sealed, carpet and drapes seem a bit dirty.

It is what it is.

Ventajas: Hotel Cavendish is typical for the line of hotels of this type in this part of London. Smallish rooms, small bathrooms, no elevator, breakfast served downstairs. Exactly what you'd expect if you had stayed in this type of hotel before. Staff was nice and friendly, but...

Desventajas: But you also get what you pay for. This hotel's price was lower than the surrounding hotels and it was appropriate. Clean and nice, but not very well maintained. Our room had curtains missing half of their hooks, the breakfast was served with instant coffee in a french press. Nothing bad, but not a bit elegant. So appropriate value for the money. Because of this I would happily stay here again, but don't expect the Savoy.

Ventajas: Convenient location in central London for a decent price.

Desventajas: Rooms are small -- but we didn't really notice because it's London, so we used it only for sleeping and to change clothes. Internet connection was spotty at best.
