Eden Plaza Hotel, London

Queens Gate is so attractive that I had high hopes for the hotel. However it is firmly at the low end of the range and has seen better days. You would not bring your mother here but it might do if you were on a limited budget and weren't too fussy. We were given a basement room close to the noise of the busy main road. It had a grubby carpet, an electric kettle (but no cups),a double bed made by pushing together two beds (of unequal height!) and tired paint on the walls. The en-suite bathroom was tiny but quite acceptable. I presume the hotel must have a fire certificate but there was no escape plan and the ceiling was coated in polystyrene tiles (that I last saw about thirty years ago). The breakfast was minimal but acceptable although the dining room was also grubby.
