Cancelled my booking unexpectedly without warning. No reason, uncontactable! Very unprofessional attitude.Later i found out of a concert happening in hyde park. Must have reallocated my room for better rates. It cost me £1k more to book alternate for same dates. Don't say you were not warned. Red flags!!! Don ignore the comments about this place.Be careful while making bookings!

I'll review the accommodation for what it is. It's £99 for a large family room with en-suite bathroom opposite Hyde Park about 5 minutes walk from the Royal Albert Hall. …
