The AA hotel guide from 2004 rated this hotel as a 4 star, and after staying 3 nights we can categorically say it's closer to a 2 star now. As we didn't have the opportunity to check reviews on Tripadvisor.com, I can honestly understand how people feel about this hotel. It's a great area, but the Abbey Court trades on it's past reputation, not what it now offers.
Lets start with the good things:
+ Breakfast was included and was of very good quality.
+ Good area, close to transport and the high street.
Now the bad:
- First room stank of cigarette smoke and was below ground
level.
- Dark and dingy first room as it was below ground level.
- Second room was at ground level and had better light.
- Cannot change temperature of room. Heating required staff to
come in and adjust the radiators.
- No air conditioning.
- Windows are not double glazed. Construction directly
across road is loud.
- Dead insect in the bed.
- They state marble in the bathrooms proudly. Small and dated
bathroom with a leaking toilet.
- Bed is old, carpets are frayed and linen is beyond it.
- Room next to us thought it would be nice to play the TV at 2am
for hours and hours.
- Asked to book taxi to Paddington station. Driver is probably
associated with hotel and tried to charge us 30 pounds for 5
minute journey! Refused and gave him only 10.
- Locks barely work on the doors.
- No help with luggage at all.
- All awards on the hotel door date back to 2003. No new
awards since then.

They charged the room twice deliberately, they said there was some operation mistake by their side and two months later they haven`t give us the money back yet. They haven't replied the demands from Visa, from our Bank, or from the Web site in which we booked the room. What a cheek and lack of responsability!!!!!!!
PLEASE KEEP AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL AND THESE PEOPLE!!!
