Hotel La Place

Location

Very tired rooms narrow staircase to access top floor rooms

Good location for the Baker Street area. Good wifi, good air-conditioning, fridge in the room, comfortable bed. Helpful staff.

The impression given by the photographs on the site was false. This looked like a well appointed hotel with spacious rooms. However our room was pokey and scruffy, with peeling and blistered wallpaper, curtains that were very difficult to open and close, and no space to put our suitcases. Dead light bulbs in the bathroom gave an uncared for air. The shower hose was too short and too wide for the shower head to easily fit in its holder. Maybe we were unlucky with this particular room, but it was not what we expected. Not as clean as we would like either. Much of the hotel had obviously been equipped to a good standard some time ago but our room was certainly overdue for refurbishment. The breakfast room was an exception with a poor standard of fittings. Served burnt toast on day 2 – don’t see how the server could have failed to notice. Coffee not great and served in small teacups.

Good location. Quiet area within easy walk of Oxford Street. Very friendly staff.

Rooms in need of modernisation. A bit shabby.
