Manor Hotel — Hotel in London

I highly recommend against any human being staying here. It is a serious health hazard. I have been conned by old pictures and possibly fictitious reviews. ||Firstly, upon entry to the hotel, I was greeted by the musty stench of cigarette smoke. There was nobody to check me and my friend in; we had been told that our key cards would be left in a cupboard in the reception area. Though I had been called to expect this earlier in the day, having no staff on shift until the end of check-in time is surely below the bar. After calling a member of staff to tell him we had arrived, he then told us that if the key cards went near our mobile phones, they would no longer be able to work due an interference. Not ideal...||I was informed that I was in room 27 (which was located in the basement of the hotel... if it can even be called such). The corridor was dingy, and I could not find the room not only down to the poor lighting, but due to the fact there was no number on the door to the room. It was guesswork trying to find it, which could have been a recipe for disaster. Upon entering to room, I found that the blind did not fit the window and there were specks of dirt on the mirror. When I tested the bed, it felt as if it was going to collapse in two because of the lack of support. Furthermore, wanting to charge my phone, I plugged it into the extension cable socket - it sparked.||After traveling on a scorching day, I wanted to have a shower, but after inspecting the cubicle and the ceiling of the shower room, I found that it was ridden with mould. Moreover, in order to use the toilet, you would have to reverse: it had an area of around 1.5m x 1.5m (perhaps less). Realising that I couldn't possibly spend the night here, I visited my friend's room. ||Room 4 was even worse than room 27. The carpet, again, was ridden with mould and it was obvious that underneath and behind the bed had not been cleaned before our arrival. With the amount of dust and mould in the premises, I could feel it becoming more and more difficult to breathe. Thankfully, a Premier Inn was able to take us and we escaped the horror of the Manor Hotel after just 25 mins. This saved me from potentially becoming ill. ||£234 for the pleasure of prison simulation (2 single...

For the price you pay, the bedroom is as expected. Nice beds, not too hard or soft with enough room and two (somewhat hard) pillows. Booked for two single beds but ended up with three single beds. Sufficient space in the rooms. Only stayed for 2 nights but would say there is sufficient storage space. Comes with kettle, teabags and coffee (as well as sugar and other small amenitites). The bathroom, on the contrary is a genuine biohazard. Although shower, toilet (ignoring the toilet seat which didn’t quite go all the way up) and sink are what you’d expect for what you pay, this however EXCLUDES the heinous mould build up found within the shower. Initially as you enter the bathroom, mould can be seen around the top edges of the bathroom walls, cause for minor concern considering you’re not staying for long, but along the bathroom tiles situated within the shower there is a level of mould build up (an amalgamation of both black and pink) which can only be caused by complete and utter neglect. If I were to step foot into the shower, I’d end up being more dirty than when I initially stepped in. A small fan is situated within the bathroom as there is no window, which would prove useful against the mould if it wasn’t covered in dust dating back to the Victorian era. A small leak coming in from above the bathroom mirror no doubt enhanced the growth of the mould. The window was kept open all night (which wasn’t an issue regarding noise as the area was quite quiet) to lessen mould spores inhalation yet the mornings I stayed there I awoke feeling groggy with heavy eyes and a blocked nose (no doubt due to inhaling the mould and dust which lingered within the air). From the utter lack of cleaning on the shower tiles, it makes you begin to question whether the rooms have ever had a deep clean or just a surface level clean enough to appease guests. The mould build up has clearly been going on for a prolonged period of time, with no attempts to remove it. If you’re looking for a trip to a biohazardous wasteland I genuinely do not know if the mould riddled bathroom or Chernobyl would be a...

Booked this hotel because it was reasonably priced and only a 15 minute walk from a venue I was in London to visit. Upon arrival there was a couple stood outside who told me they'd been trying for about 10 minutes to get into the hotel to check in. The three of us rang the bell several more times, tried ringing but nobody answered and eventually the door opened. Receptionist was told we'd been outside a while, he said 'sorry I was with a customer' but sounded more annoyed than apologetic.||My room was on the top floor, no elevator but this is usual in budget London hotels, bit of a trek and narrow staircase which I had to navigate with my bags. The room itself seemed clean enough but I was shocked by all the mould above the shower, I'm not really a clean freak in hotels but did find that a bit gross. The cold water tap didn't work, randomly did work just before I went to bed and by the next morning stopped working again, very random.||Sound-proofing wasn't great, again this is fairly typical for a budget London hotel, street noise and noise from other guests can be quite loud but despite this I managed to sleep okay. Was woken up five minutes before my alarm by a woman knocking on my door to ask if I wanted late checkout? I'd been told checkout was at 10AM and it was 9AM when she knocked so I asked if checkout was actually at 9 to which she replied "oh" and then left? Also booking.com advises 10:30AM checkout, the sign downstairs says you have to be out by 11AM but receptionist said 10AM. I felt pressured to get up and get out at that point.||The area it's in was decent, plenty of places to eat and shops to grab anything you need. I travelled alone and whilst I didn't feel unsafe in the hotel I didn't feel safe either. Overall I probably wouldn't...
