Hotel Cavendish 75 Gower Street, London WC1E 6HJ

"The staff was helping us and they were very kind & friendly. The only bad thing was the room, it was too small and not super super clean. The hotel is in a good location though. The recommandation I can give is trying to clean a little more the rooms. Overall, we had a nice experience with my friend :)"

"Great location, However that's were the positives end. I have probably stayed in over 200 hotels in this country, and its fair to say asking the receptionist if they could book a taxi is fairly standard. So, on this occasion I asked if the male receptionist could book us a taxi to Kings Cross for 6:30 am. Taxi arrives and takes us to Kings Cross which is around 0.7 miles away and because of very little traffic this took us less than 5 minutes. However, the driver attempted to charge us £30, which after a roadside argument it transpires that when the hotel books a taxi it is him that decides how much the customer is to be charged and he then receives a third cut from the taxi driver. Just a blatant attempt to con tourists / guests. To be honest I am unsure whether this was indeed a taxi driver or simply just a friend of the receptionist. As, the driver turned up in a car without any tax badge or decals on it and the car its self was a small run around car with no taxi fare meter."

"Staff was nice but room really small, generally a very conjested hotel, with closed space smells all over. Only cold breakfast not a single item was hot. Location very nice but really not recommended for business, work or study visits"

"Clean, basic rooms in a great central location st a reasonable price for London, I would probably give it 3.5 stars rather than four if possible. The location is perfect with most central areas within walking distance & the underground only a few minutes walk away. The room price includes breakfast (with a variety of items available) which is an added bonus. I found the hotel and surrounding area fairly quiet at night despite the central location, and the rooms at the rear of the property have minimal traffic noise. The only negatives were the room size (which was expected), the bed is very narrow & bathroom can be difficult to manoeuvre in. However, I would probably stay here again, and if you just want a basic no frills hotel this is perfectly suitable for a couple of nights."

"Pleasant stay :) The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly and the breakfast was lovely. The bathroom tiles were slightly broken, the hairdryer had a small hole and the window didn’t open much. However these are small complaints and considering the location I think it’s all reflected in the price. All in all I think some of these reviews may be a tad harsh and if you’re looking for a short stay that’s not too expensive than it’s ideal. Would stay again."
