Who won't like this hotel:
- Americans expecting an American-styled hotel
- People who have trouble walking up & down stairs
- People who need air conditioning (most hotels in the UK do not have AC)
The Comfotel is in Hammersmith, a nice, neighborhood-y place next to Chelsea, which is gorgeous. The Hammersmith tube station is about a 10 minute walk door-to-door.
The building is an old row house. This is the common build for these neighborhoods, so do not expect a big welcome area. These are tall, narrow buildings that were built in the 1800s. The stairs are narrow, so anyone who can't do/doesn't like stairs is not a good fit. There is no elevator. There are dings and worn paint, but the property is very clean. It's just an older build.
The housekeeper is a lovely woman. The rooms are safe, clean, and comfortable, but size may be an issue for some. My room was a single and was about 75 square feet. There was no bureau for clothes, but there was some shelving and a mini fridge and blowdryer.
If you are seeking a budget-friendly, basic accommodation, this should be fine. If you are used to more, then I am not sure this would be a fit. For me, the place was worth the money.
