The W14

I am picky about hotels, I have gotten very spoiled in my hotel stays. This is my first time in London, I booked the W14 sight unseen from Miami. I did my research but was still a bit nervous. So I am now in the 3^rd night of a 5 night stay and I am very pleased. The rooms are very clean and well appointed, the beds are very comfortable. The bathroom is gorgeous, and you may never want to get out from under the huge rainshower shower head! I really like that the blowdryer is not in the bathroom, but beside a full length mirror with a spotlight above the area, very thoughtfully done. The staff have been super nice and accommodating, always helpful and friendly. I would like to comment on the breakfast, (included) but with the time difference from Miami, I’m sad to say I haven’t made it in time yet. High speed internet is also included, and has been very reliable. Lastly, the location is great. It is a very short walk to the West Kensington Tube station, easy to get anywhere. I love the W14, and highly recommend it! I will be back!

This hotel was changed from a Hostel to a regular/​luxury hotel and they have done it very well.
Rooms are small but well finished (big bed with nice sheets, a little desk, water boiler + tea/​coffee for free/​wardrobe with enough hangers), big TV screen, Italian (super nice) shower. Very modern, very chic. Breakfast is in a light room with traditional cold buffet (toast, croissant, cereal, juice, fruits, cheese, ham…).
We paid only 119£ fro the double room with breakfast included. For London, it is a good deal especially considering the quality of the room. It’s a 5 minutes walk from Baron’s court Metro that takes you straight to Picadilly.
I would recommand it as it is a great quality/​price hotel.

I have stayed at this hostel twice in the last 12 months. The first time I stayed in a private room, which was very clean and comfortable. The second time I stayed in a 4 person room. My roommates were all very nice. The room has a sink/​mirror and lockers for valuables. If you do not have a lock, you can purchase one. The location is fantastic and the rooms are very clean and comfortable.

This place is horrible! It smells, it’s creepy and there are literally holes everywhere. The hostel is undergoing renovation and should really be shut down in the meantime. The showers/​bathrooms are sooo gross. Definitely not coming back. The night receptionist is a bit creepy at first, but a really nice guy overall.

A buddy and I crashed here for one night back in June 2007 and it was a jolly good time. The hostel is a close walk from Baron’s Court station and the rooms are comfortable. I thought it was fairly expensive for a hostel, but hey, this is London, everything is. Several of my other friends stayed here independently of us and they liked it as well.

I stayed at Ace Hotel for 5 days in June 2007. It was very well reviewed on
at the time (and still is).
I booked two beds in an eight-​bed room for about $ 30/​night each. I brought my own towel and lock, so I didn’t have to rent or buy either. The room had a locker for each bed, and a bathroom with a sink and shower but no toilet. The closest shared toilet was down the stairs.
The hostel was filled with many people from different countries, but all the people we shared our room with on those 5 days were also Americans. It might have been a coincidence, but I think it was on purpose.
Our stay included a free breakfast each morning in the basement, with a choice of biscuit, croissant (with butter and jam), or cereal, juice and coffee. Like most other Americans at the hostel, the first time we came down for breakfast we each took one of everything and then read the sign that says «Please take one breakfast item so that there is enough for everyone.» Oops.
Each bed included a fitted sheet, pillow with pillowcase, and a comforter with a duvet. All the linens were refreshed everyday and the beds made. The neighborhood is an adorable residential area just a short Tube ride from proper London. The lockers were incredibly useful for me: I stored the valuables I didn’t want to carry with me during the day and my wallet and keys at night.
For a hostel, Ace was wonderful: incredibly clean, fresh, and young-​feeling. It is not luxurious, and, as expected in a shared eight-​person bedroom, lacked privacy, but since we were out all day being tourists, we had not much use for shelter besides a place to sleep. Ace was perfect.
I would definitely stay there again.

I stayed at the Ace Hotel in April of 2007 with my best friend and we were quite satisfied with our experience. Clean, modern, VERY Ikea-​esque, but we slept well in our private room and the bathrooms were not bad, either.
I would definitely stay here again.
