East Sheen Holidays from £209

The room wasn't ready when we arrived at 3:30 though the booking said ready by 3. It didn't take too long but was a bit annoying. The room itself was lovely though it was a bit strange to not have a bin and I would have liked more coffee etc. We got a wake up call at 5am which we didn't ask for. When we checked out I brought this up and we were told it was a mistake and the person apologised but I would have preferred if they apologised without me prompting and maybe offered us some kind of compensation. I have issues sleeping so it was really quite disruptive. I did wonder if it was because we were clearly not well off and the place is quite posh. I don't have an issue with someone making a mistake but seems weird not to apologise.

As of August 2026 the entire hotel is wrapped in scaffolding and mesh, which blocks all views facing the lovely park in the front. Since they are still selling upgraded rooms with “garden views” this feels very misleading. In fact I woke up to 2 construction men standing directly 1 foot outside my windows on the second floor, talking loudly at 8am and getting ready for their work. Since there is no AC in the rooms, I had the windows wide open and suddenly was naked in my bed with workers staring in. Not cool. When the construction isn’t happening this would be a perfectly fine place to stay. 2 mins from paddington on a cute park, and feels like an old boarding house with some good character. I hate staying in soulless Hyatt place type hotels, so I like quirk and charm. The bathroom is the size of a cruiseship bathroom and all plastic, in fact it seems like some kind of pre-fab pop in RV bathroom. Odd. Anyway, for 1 or 2 nights, minus the construction, go for it. But there are like 6 identical hotels lining this park and the others don’t have scaffolding on them so you should stay in one of those or call this hotel and double check the remodel is finished up. In the meantime can the hotel warn guests that at 8am there will be men standing outside their windows?! The front desk lady was kind at check in…

Immaculate room and property interior, everything worked appropriately and it was a good stay in a good location. The property address is needed as there is no sign. The check in information appropriately noted this but finding the place to drop luggage prior to check in time was a bit confusing. Check in is 4 and check out 10, so a fairly short stay if it’s for 1 night. I would recommend some grit or non-slip strips in the shower as soap made it a bit slippery.
