The Jade

Huoneessa haisi home todella vahvasti ja ensimmäisen yön jälkeen hengitystiet olivat aivan tukossa, kurkku karhea ja yskitti. Oireet helpottivat noin 15 minuutissa, kun lähdimme hotellilta kaupungille. Pyysimme huoneen vaihtoa vedoten oireisiin, joka onnistuikin pitkin hampain. Vastaanottovirkailija väitti silmiään pyöritellen vastaan, ettei huoneessa voisi olla hometta. Henkilökunta muutenkin oli melko töykeää, vastaanoton ohi kulkiessa ei useinkaan tervehditty. Sijainniltaan hotelli oli ihan ok, joskin olen eri mieltä siitä, että Harrods sekä Oxford streetin ostoskatu olisivat kävelymatkan päässä. Ensimmäisenä aamuna taitoimme matkan jalan, mutta takaisin tulimme taksilla joka maksoi Oxford streetiltä noin 18 puntaa. Earl’s courtin metroasema sen sijaan on erittäin lähellä, josta pääsee moneen paikkaan kätevästi. En suosittele hotellia, koska huoneet ovat todella pienet ja sänky oli laitettu erittäin vetoisan ikkunan viereen. Ikkunasta tuli todella kylmää ilmaa, mietin mitä se on talvella jos jo syyskuussa veto on kylmää. Lisäksi homeenhaju oli erittäin vahva, meidän olisi ollut pakko vaihtaa hotellia, mikäli emme olisi saaneet uutta huonetta. The smell of mold was very strong in our room and after the first night we had symptoms like coughing and a sore throat. All the symptoms were gone after 15 minutes in fresh air when we left from the hotel. We asked if we could change the room to another and after a small argueing a little pit unfriendly receptionist gave us a new room from another floor. The staff was quite rude, when walking past the reception they rarely said hello. The location was quite ok, allthough I disagree that the harrods and Oxford Street is in a walking distance. Earls court tube station is very near. I cannot recommend this hotel because the rooms are very small and the bed was next to a drafty window. I wonder how it feels in wintertime because in septemper the air was very cold. And the awful smell of mold was very strong.

Location

The room size (single) for the price is simply unacceptable for the quality Room is cold despite having a so called heater or aircon. Opening the closet door and the bathroom door at the same time is not possible the room is that small! Bed is not very comfortable. Bathroom is tiny, impossible to dash your face and shave without flooding everything, as the basin isn’t much bigger than your face. Warm water tricky... the shower itself is a pain, once standing in the shower it not possible to move your hands and arms to wash your self simply no space

Location is perfect, very central just beside the tube and in a pretty street/area with nice pubs/coffee places. Very friendly staff. Cheap for London considering the great location. Nice croissant offered in the morning. Tiny but functional mini kitchen in the rooms. Very comfortable bed.

The single rooms are very small but still would be fine if there was a view (rooms on the groundfloor/1st floor have no view at all). It felt claustrophobic. Small maintenance is necessary and it would make this place perfect and i then would recommend it to everybody. Hopefully something the manager will hear this time.
