Another good stay here, room clean, carpet could do with replacing but I guess it all takes time. They are renewing the outdoor garden at the moment. Breakfast is as good as usual. Very quiet room & also very comfy beds. …

Room was lovely - shower is amazing in comparison to many other hotels. Didn't use it but the room service facility is a nice to have.Service was so-so. The booking was under my partner's name but I couldn't check in because my name wasn't added. I've not had this situation staying at other hotels via Booking.com so this was odd to me. It isn't the hotel/receptionist fault but just a bit of a bump upon checking in. So do be mindful of this if you're booking to stay here.The towels provided had stains on them - the phone in the room didn't work for me to call reception so I called using my own phone and this was rectified promptly.Upon returning to the hotel that night, my partner was questioned about whether he was 'actually' staying at this hotel. It felt like he was racially profiled by that member of staff.Location is good - local to West Kensington station and Baron's Court is a short walk away. It is a little confusing to get to but not awful.

The room was clean, and I felt secure as a solo traveler thanks to the 24/7 reception and the double lock on the door. The single room is compact, the bed was comfortable. …

We stayed here for 2 nights, and each morning there was a random fire alarm. On the first morning, there was a fire alarm at 7:15 in the morning, scaring my mum and me half to death. On the second morning, I knew another one was going to happen and it happened at 8:10 in the morning. Me and my mum did not get scared this time because we knew it was going to happen. Turns out the alarms were just false alarms, which annoyes me quite a bit. Anyway, breakfast was all right the pastries and bread were stale. The still had some cold meats and some cold cheese, some fruit, and cereal, so breakfast was kinda good (not really). And breakfast was £7.50 each person though!!The rooms were quite nice actually, the bathroom was nice and the room was nice and the beds were comfortable. But,there was construction going on outside and it made loads of noise. The location is really convenient because it is a 5 minute walk away from the underground station, and some bakeries and shops. So overall, me and my mum, will not be coming back again. Don't waste your money

I had a comfortable stay at the hotel. Rooms were decently sized with a great view. The hotel was located quite close to a couple of tube stations. All the staff were very helpful and courteous. Special mention for Nancy who was very helpful to guide me on places to visit in and around London and even booked train ticket on my behalf. That really helped me save time and enjoy my visit. Thank you to entire W14 team!!!

The entrance to the hotel is very narrow, making a long winded check in more difficult as other guests are trying to pass by to exit. The staff at the check in desk aren’t particularly friendly or welcoming. …

We booked at really short notice and W14 was about all that was available at a sensible price. It was “ok” but was disappointing in some aspects and I have some serious safety concerns. …

Been looking at booking the W14 for sometime and finally did it. |On arrival was informed we'd have to pay £7.50 each extra for a continental breakfast when it clearly states free breakfast provided. …
