The Bentley London in London

Booked this property as it looked gorgeous on photos but unfortunately that "old England money" look was rather lack lustre. The property is very dated with low lighting which gives it a dreary feel from entrance. The room we had was the blue room and while wonderfully spacious it felt incredibly dated rather than elegant like shown in the photos. Beyond aesthetic, the room was not properly clean. The headboard/lack of it was just a wall, had horrible staining on, if we had more time I would have gone to reception and asked to change rooms as it was revolting. Also then the bedspread had a black stain on, not appealing. The bathroom was clean but really needs brightening up. Overall was a shame as for the price I was expecting 5 star but I would place this at a 4 star at best.

Now this hotel is strange. It is an expensive spot. The hotel needs renovation and they started it. Up to this point it is ok. However the renovation takes place while you are staying at the hotel. And one night you come to your room which is filled with fresh paint odor. You want to open the windows but due to revovation and safety issues they nailed all windows so you cannot open them. I dont know how they could get authorisation for this from the fire department. And when you issue the problem to the reception they only say sorry. No offers of room change, no offers of compensation. Only sorry. The only positive thing is the location and staff. Overrated under these conditions. And everything within the room was old. Hope renovation includes room decoration as well. Never again.

Well, definitely it is not a 5 star hotel, probably not even a 4 star. Despite the description on the hotel’s website - the rooms are not luxurious. Actually they are very worn out - stains on the carpets, paint coming off from walls, strange smell in the room (mould?), very worn out bathroom accessories (taps, shower head).
Also I assumed that coffee machine in the room should be a standard in 5 star hotel ? Apparently I was wrong. The only good thing is the location. However there are lots of good (meaning - better ) hotels nearby.
My first and last stay in this hotel.

The interior is too old and there is almost no hotel service.
