Location

The hotel is located in London’s Mayfair, very close to Marylebone.

Famous for its hotels, Mayfair boasts some of London's most expensive homes and, on Bond Street, its most expensive shops. However, the tucked-away pubs, restaurants, and shops of atmospheric Shepherd Market offer more affordable local colour, too.

Sandwiched between several main roads, Marylebone has a village atmosphere and a charming High Street. Nearby attractions include Madame Tussauds and the Georgian splendours of Regent's Park, including London Zoo.

we booked this thinking it was a good 2 star hotel. but once we arrived our room wasn't ready and there was cats running around inside. i must say that it is a good location in london but i would rather to go further out of london. the rooms are dirty but at least the sheets were clean. the door in the bathroom wouldn't lock and the toilet leaked. the floor boards creaked. the curtins wouldn't close, oh ya the staff were nice but useless, they don't know a thing about london.

We arrived at just after 6pm at night and from the outside I thought I had done well. I booked through booked.net after finding one to suite my needs for 3 nights. I walked in and the smile soon changed I have never seen such a pig sty ( sorry but that's putting in mildly ) the ammount of dust and grim in the carpets was truly shocking I walk through to reception but it got no better before I siged in I requested to see the room I was taken to room 41 and well I think if the carpets had ever seen a hoover it did not show. The bed was unmade and there was even a old sock on the floor.I told them straight it was not suitable. I was going to be shown another room but I had decided that I would ask for a refund and seek accomodation elsewhere. We did get a full refund but only after I told the duty manager what a "pigsty it was" Everywhere you look in this hotel needs attention I question on how they got 2 stars I would not give it 1. Never in you baddest dream would you dream of staying in here. I have just one word to say about "The Bickenhall Hotel " and that is avoid!!!!

The room is filthy, the staff unfriendly, the place is awful. It is conveniently located but that is all. Bedding was covered in hair and staff was put out to change the sheets when we arrived. The shower would not shut off and then flooded into the lobby. They would occasionally turn off the water, stranding you in the shower without notice. The bathroom was stained, dirty, had hair on walls and floor, and the towels were rank and stained as well. Included breakfast should warn that it includes dirty dishes and stale cereal. There is external construction on the building and the laborers were standing in the window of our room for 2 days scraping the mortar. Noisy, and no privacy. For the price paid, the reviews are off. STAY AWAY.

I guess as a Canadian, I am not used to older hotels so I love the ambience of an older but clean hotel. This was not one,with beds that are 50 years old and dirty showers that dripped all night it was disgusting. When we first arrived the receptionist was less than friendly,there appeared to be "regulars" including a moustached woman, hanging around and the lobby had filthy old couches in it. Our room had a teeny tv and one of the beds was an old cot that was held together I am sure by dust mites. We were afraid to eat breakfast the next morning and never even checked it out since there was no dining room in site. The only good thing, the location was great for the subway.
