It is much more worse than you could dream.

I have stayed in some dives in third world countries, but pretty sure the Cranley may have been the worse ever for me. Too many issues to list, but the promo photos are far from accurate and I wish I taken some of my own to update with. Still, the WiFi worked fine.

Where to begin? Dirty, shabby, staff with bad attitude, awful breakfast, bad plumbing, no internet and they do not have a restaurant as advertised. This hotel should not be open. It’s like Fawlty Towers without the laughs. The only positive was that we bonded with our co residents as to how awful it was.

Great location. Everything else is terrible.

Nice quiet street along from Gloucester road. We were on top floor, stairs carpet is a trip hazard. Room looks nothing like the photos. Very hot even with window open and a/c not working. Taps leak in basin. Toilet not clean. Basin does not drain. Curtains don't fit and falling off rail. Breakfast. Fine if you like instant coffee, cheapest white bread, processed cheese wrapped slices. Margarine not butter. No fruit or yoghurt.

The Property was nice from the outside. Seating area outside could have been tidier. Rubbish and cigarette ends. Had to ask for Towels no glasses to drink out off. No tea or coffee facilities in the room. Bathroom was alright apart from the brown stain in the bath. Unable to open the windows need some attention paint wise. Furniture outdated and broken no handle on one draw and no bottom in another. Breakfast was a disappointment not what i call Continental Breakfast.

The staff are incredibly rude and dismissive. We arrived and there was no room ready. We were dismissed from the premises and told to come back in 3 hours. Upon our return, we were again treated with rudeness. We cancelled and left. They refused to refund our $. We have written multiple times and have received no reply. Expedia was no help - our issue was handed off to 10 different people. The place smells; it is run down and looks nothing like the pictures. BEWARE!!

It's a rundown place. Once it's fully restored, and only then, it may be considered a real hotel. Threadbare carpets, broken faucets, dirty toilet, etc. And, no shampoo!

I refused to stay in the hotel and booked another. Upon arrival I was advised there was no key and staff would need to let me in each time I left my room. There was a rancid smell of damp throughout, disrepair and damage to furnishings/carpets etc There was no light in the lift and you had to navigate it in darkness which was scary and I didn’t feel safe enough to sleep there. Bags of dirty linen ‘ready for collection’ were scattered through the corridors and there was no food or drink availabilities. Never have I walked out of a hotel but this needs shutting down and I want a refund..!

Thank you for asking me about my experience with Cranley Hotel london. My experience was terrible. So far the worst. The first impression is , an old, dirty and carless owner that leaves the property fooling apart. Pictures missing on the wall, torn carpet and full of stains in the hall/lobby. On arrival 8pm , the room 103 wasn't clean at all. The receptionist apologies and gave a better room. Bigger room, Kind bed. But.... toilet hasn't been flushed at all, the bath not clean, no empty bin, and the open soap around. No towels, One bulb not working in the bathroom, 2 not working in the room. Remote control not working ..Batteries??? The receptionist has no key for my room... He asks me when I leave the room, I must ask to close the door with his master key. Monday.. Breakfast.. The most miserable I have ever seen, All guest around complaining : Toaster working only on side... so it was a queue, No cereals , no pastry. ; Only bread, butter , marmalade and a plate with very fine cut cheese and jam scatter around, Coffee from a Saches and a flask of hot water, a few glasses and cups dirty. so... we leave aside. Breakfast was the same Tuesday. On Wednesday after a lot of guest complains, it improves. Monday, Later in the evening when I came back the door wasn't locked, and the room wasn't clean. Tuesday, Later in the evening when I came back the door wasn't locked, the room wasn't clean. I ask for a toilet roll. Never ever in this property and also I will not do a boo

When booked, the pictures made it look fantastic.. My room was old, dirty and worn out (room 103). Curtains were tatty, carpet thread bare, unable to open window (cracked glass too). I went down for breakfast, no cooked breakfast just some Toast and cereal.. No where to sit. No organisation or staff to help.. No Bar in the hotel(says there is on the website) so I checked out early with no breakfast. (no coffee facilities in the room either. Asked for a printout receipt (no paper in the printer).. Lovely area to be based though..
