Beaconsfield Hotel

I stayed here with a friend for one night in July for a concert so we weren’t expecting anything fancy, just somewhere to lay our heads that was close to the venue. Unfortunately this hotel fell far below acceptable standards. On arrival we were given a key and shown the fire exit entry which is to be used out of hours. We then made our way upstairs to the room. It was raining quite heavily and it was immediately clear that there was a significant leak in the room. Rain water was dripping through a hole, soaking into the curtains and then puddling on the floor. I lay down a towel to stop the spread and we left our bags packed. We had quite a quick turnaround for the show so I went down and notified staff at the bar about the leak. They seemed concerned and said they would let the supervisor know. It was never clear if they did tell anybody about it, as the staff member we later spoke to was unaware of the issue. When we returned at 930pm, we again told the staff about the leak and they said they would come up to the room. We waited around for 30 minutes before giving up and going to sleep. Nobody ever came to our room. The next morning when we checked out there was no staff available to discuss this with. Other issues include: Lack of security - rooms are opened with a key and there is no internal lock on the inside of the door meaning any staff member with a key could enter while we were sleeping or changing Bedding was stained and mismatched Bathroom was awful - stained and warped by water, cracked tile, very small and the sink was awkward to wash our faces at Wallpaper was peeling in the room We had a triple room (double bed and single bed) which were incredible weirdly oriented with the single at the foot of the double. In addition to this, the beds were metal frames with a piece of plywood under the mattress. In general the space was very small - you couldn’t turn around in the bathroom and corridors and stairways were very tight, especially with luggage. The room was incredibly warm and humid despite it being a mild July. We slept with the window open but it was very loud. Fridge in the room also made a loud buzzing sound. In the hallway there was an alarm blaring 24/7 - it seemed to be coming from a maintenance cupboard Positives The mattresses were pretty comfy Cereal and milk in the room, fridge, tea and coffee facilities, and a fan. There appeared to be washing facilities and kitchen but we weren’t told about these or whether they were for guest use. Overall, this was fine for us to spend a few hours sleeping, but I would absolutely steer clear in future.

Looking for a twin room to crash in, after a long flight, we happened upon this through an online booking site. Whilst not cheap, it appeared reasonable value for a late booking in a fairly central location. Pictures can say a 1000 words, but they can also misrepresent. This place looked basic but clean online, but I can assure you it was neither. First impressions - dirty beds, used towel (additional to two clean ones), rat bait stations in every corner of the room, TV was there but unoperational as aerial had been cut, waste bin battered to the point it couldn't be opened, ensuite bathroom disgusting - not tempted to shower, as beside evident filth, water pressure barely adequate to wet a toothbrush. I took a chance and slept in my bed while my wise daughter opted to sleep closed on top of hers. Morning couldn't come quick enough. 10 am checkout, no problem at all. We were out by 0730.

Raj was very helpful on arrival. The room could’ve been cleaner, skirting boards, and plug hole was full of hair. Room was comfortable and we both slept well, was very quiet. For the price and location it was good and we would come back. Easy parking opposite at Sainsburys

Super friendly Raj, so welcoming. Gave us a guided tour of the immense premises. Bar had a fine selection of beers and spirits to suit all tastes and the locals were super welcoming. The rooms were amazingly adequate for our requirements. 🦖🦥🌮

Booked for me by my company, I have now taken in my own bookings so I don’t end up in places like this one again. The Room I had stinks of smoke from the 80s, bed uncomfortable, decor shocking, worst “hotel” I’ve stayed in, it is shocking how this is operational. Visit at your own risk

This hotel is dangerous. The smoke alarm was covered over. They include continental breakfast this consists of small box of cereal in your room. No remote for the tv. No one available to book you in and no answer via telephone or email. Having booked with ********** I contacted them. I was offered a £6 voucher as compensation to be used on there site for future bookings. I have asked ********** to remove from there site until the smoke detector has been rectified.
