Stayed on the 22nd December. Having booked at approx 10.00pm to turn up at midnight, it took over 20+ minutes for them to check me in, following an 16 hour journey from Bogota. Their excuse was that 'the reservations staff leave at 7pm' which appeared to mean that their entire system was unable to cope with a single booking, of which I had printed confirmation.
They then proceeded to put me into a room which was at the total far end of the hotel in an area only accessed by stairs on the 7th floor. On arrival in the room, the air con was not working and they had put a portable air con unit that was just a tad quieter than the take off runway at heathrow. The TV was also blaring out, but did not have any picture. I called down to the reception and someone came up to look at the TV. After fiddling around for 10 minutes and still not being able to get any kind of picture, then came the classic question ' Do you actually want to watch any TV now or tomorrow?' !!! Of course I sodding wanted to watch TV? Why on earth did I ask you to come and repair it if I did not want to use it.
After much going back and forth, and leaning that the hotel was half empty, they managed to find me another room but were unable to actually give me a key! This room, whilst larger, was still poor - the air cooling system appeared to do the opposite to what the instructions indicated - I found two carrier bags stuffed behind one of the bedside tables, which had a couple of stale, half eaten sandwiches still in them - and pubic hairs were abundent in the bath tub......................
On checking out, I was asked if my stay had been good. I commented that there had been 'problems', but rather than asking what those problems might have been, I was told - ' I'm sorry to hear that. That will be £105 in total please......'.
I am sure that most others experiences at this hotel have been better than mine, but at a time of year when most hotels are begging for customers, their terrible service and other problems have confirmed that I will not be staying there again and I will make it my purpose in life to recommend anywhere but K-West in future to my music biz buddies..............
