Apollo Hotel

The location is awesome and the staff was very nice.

Bare bones, with not even an extra glass at reception. The hotel is undergoing an upgrade so there is quite a mess and lots of dust. Breakfast was below expectations

Near a tube station

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. 4 Beds pushed together in room. No room between them. Lamps hanging off the wall. The entire side on one of the beds was ripped open. No card facilities so had to go out to a cash machine on arrival to get cash to pay at reception. Water poured down through roof of bathroom when people upstairs had a shower. TV didn't work. No safe in room as advertised. Breakfast consists of orange juice, cornflakes, bread roll, croissants and tea/ coffee. Staff really unhelpful and rude. Didn't even ask what room I was in when I told them about the water coming through the roof. Avoid this place like the plague

Location is very good. Hotel is below average but reasonable for price and location

The location was very good

When I got to the property their card machine was broken and the receptionist sent me out to get cash. I think there should have been some sort of courtesy call to let me know prior to my arrival. It was very inconvenient for me to have to go back out after arriving at the hotel as I only had a short amount of time to sleep before meeting my partner for dinner. On top of this I asked the receptionist where the nearest atm machine was and she gave me the wrong directions. Also when I got back with the payment they didn't have any change. When I left this morning they still did not have any change to give me. More than 12 hours had passed from check-in to when I left, I do not understand how they weren't able to sort out my change. There were a lot of works going on in the hotel. There was plastic sheeting up in the repetition. There was wood piled up in the corridors. The hotel just felt generally dirty because of this. When making the booking there was no mention of the works that were being carried out. Also upon check-in there was no apology about the state of the hotel.

Excellent location, walking distance to most things.

The beds were uncomfortable, the elevator did not work for most of my stay, the stairs are dangerously narrow, internet service is poor, overall appearance is old and outdated. I also had flies in my room, the room had beds that were all crammed in leaving little space to move around, the beds were old boxes with old mattresses with springs coming through.
