The Gainsboro Hotel should loose a star!
Gainsboro Hotel should loose a star My impression of the Gainsboro Hotel is based on my hotel room and does not reflect the overall condition of the hotel. For two days I was in constant contact with reception regarding (1) no hot water, (2) shower door was off it’s hinge, (3) soap dish missing in shower stall...there was no place to put your shampoo, soap, etc...and the space was too small to bend down and place it on the floor). I suggested that they should move me to a different room...which some were available...plus, they also own the hotel directly across the street...however, they chose not to do so, which I find was a major mistake on their part. I never saw anyone in their bar and there is not a restaurant in the hotel...they order out if you place a request for room service. Great area to be in...very walkable and convenient to the Tube Stop. The rooms in the back of the hotel overlook the play ground area of the French School, so there is a lot of nose during recess and before/after school. The reception staff was truly outstanding and very attentive to detail and being helpful...nice personal approach.
Traveller's tip on dining
Simply walk outside the door of the hotel and you will be surrounded by a wide selection of restaurants...try something new each evening!

A typical over priced tourist trap
I have stayed at 4 and 5 star hotels in the centre of London which were cheaper and offered better quality. A typical terrace type hotel, very small ’doubele bedorrom scuffed wallpaper, small lift, just generaly a ’tird’ hotel.
