Hotele niedaleko Hornsey, Londyn

We stayed at the Wilde Aparthotel Aldgate Tower Bridge for two nights at the end of August and had a rather underwhelming experience. We expected more from this hotel, judging by its ratings online. As Coldplay was in town (our reason for visiting London), prices were higher than average. The hotel is a five-minute walk from Aldgate East and about eight minutes from Aldgate Station. Liverpool Street Station is technically in walkable distance aswell, though taking the bus there is easier, with a stop right in front of the hotel. I wouldn’t recommend walking to Whitechapel for the Elizabeth Line – the walk felt long, annoying, and unsafe. Also, avoid walking further down the road toward McDonald’s after dark – sketchy atmosphere, and we saw two police scenes within those five mins of walking. Walking to Aldgate or Liverpool Street is safer. The arrival was.. odd. No one greeted us, and we waited in the lobby for several minutes before someone finally helped us at a not-so-clean high table. The staff member seemed demotivated and spoke very quietly, though check-in was quick. Unfortunately, we were charged twice despite prepaying nearly a year earlier through a third party. This was resolved after I spoke with the manager, but I was surprised it was marked as a “user error” on our invoice, and no small gesture like waiving the early check-in fee was offered for the inconvenience. We were given a room on the 9th floor. The corridors are dim, with black walls and stuffy air despite it being just 22 degrees outside. The “triple room” is simply too small for three adults. The storage areas under the twin beds is smart, and there is a small wardrobe with two drawers, but oddly no safe to store your valuables. A table and chair cramped the room unnecessarily and looked cheap compared to the rest. The sofa bed was decent but had a pretty thin mattress and annoying metal railings that can be a little annoying when standing up / lying down; there was also no nightstand, only a photo shelf right above it where you really can’t put anything. The kitchen area becomes very narrow once the sofa bed is pulled out. The fridge and sink were great, but the bins were tiny and filled up after just one day. The bathroom was also cramped, with practically no counter space. No toothbrush cups, Q-tips, or cotton pads were provided – unusual for a 4-star property. The soap dispenser was nearly empty and even fell out of its holder, and none of the dispensers were secured/locked, which isn’t hygienic (most hotels have that nowadays, for a reason!). We didn’t know where to go with dirty towels as there was no designated spot for them and no space. The heated towel holder being *right* next to the toilet is weird and inconvenient. We had the AC running for hours & hours on end, yet it barely managed to cool down the room to an acceptable temp. At least it was quiet enough to keep on at night. The TV had few channels but casting worked very well. Light controls were fine, and the blackout blinds were excellent– also essential, since the windows aren’t tinted from the outside. On the positive side, the room was clean, beds were comfortable, and it was quiet at night despite the hotel being full. We skipped breakfast as there are better options near Liverpool Street Station that we wanted to try out. All in all, our first ever stay at a Wilde property was just okay. The location is central but not particularly the nicest, the staff lacked warmth, and the triple room was way too small for three adults. It should not be sold as a triple for three adults and would be better suited for parents with a small child. I imagine the higher room categories might do a better job of accommodating three adults. We had what we needed; a clean room with good public transport connections. However, we wouldn’t stay here again as there’s better options out there.

Had a great one-night stay in London! Check-in was quick and easy, and the hotel is in a great location, close to plenty of food spots in the gardens. I grabbed a delicious morning bagel before checking out at 12pm, which was super convenient. We also had access to the pool but sadly ran out of time to use it, definitely something to try next time!

Amazing location, amazing service. It was my birthday and the room was decorated beautifully with complimentary drink and chocolate. Could not have asked for more. The only negative was the room was extremely hot which made is very uncomfortable to sleep. On the second night spoke to front desk and they advised to turn all air con/heating off and brought us a fan up so the second night slept like a baby in very comfortable beds. The pool area was beautiful but u fortunately we ran out of time but when we have another stay at the beautiful hotel we will certainly visit it.

Lokalizacja pod względem dojazdu z lotniska Stansted po wyjściu z Stansted Express na Liverpool Station, 15 minut autobusem Nr 135 i potem już 5 minut pieszo do hotelu. Bardzo dobra lokalizacja pod względem zwiedzania centrum Londynu. Pieszo dochodzilismy do London Bridge, wracaliśmy najczęściej z Trafalgar Square 35 minut autobusem nr 15. Bardzo było to wygodne. Po przyjeździe miła Pani na recepcji z własnej woli zaproponowała Nam pokój rodzinny. Miłe. Pokój czysty, codziennie sprzątany, łóżko duże wygodne, dodatkowe wewnętrze przesuwane okno wyciszało szum samochodów z ulicy. Śniadania w stylu angielskim. Na stołówce czysto, miła obsługa. Wieczorem można napić się również dobrego piwa. Bardzo udany pobyt. Dziękujemy

It took a while for the air conditioner to work, but the staff was really helpful and supportive. The ground floor is aesthetically decorated. Generally I’m satisfied!

If you're staying here, you'll find the price reasonable, under 10,000 baht per night, especially since it's in Zone 2. Most places further in are over 10,000 baht. The hotel is clean and the service is standard. We requested two connecting suites for our daughters, and they had a sofa that converted into a bed. The furniture might look a bit dated because the hotel is old, but many things are clean and new. I liked the new Nespresso capsule coffee machine with complimentary large capsules. The tea here is also good. The bathroom has a bathtub with good water pressure, and the shampoo and conditioner smell nice. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it's a bit old and the mattress isn't very soft. But overall, it was a comfortable stay.

Pokój był czysty i schludny, ale w pokoju znajdowały się 2 lodówki, jedna zepsuta w szafce, a druga na zewnątrz, na podłodze. Sejf nie działał. Przewodnik telewizyjny był ustawiony na około 2 tygodnie wcześniej i nie podał żadnych informacji toaleta i umywalka miały pęknięcia, deska sedesowa była luźna, a pod silikonem w wannie była czarna pleśń, pierwszego dnia poszliśmy na śniadanie, ale kosztowało 21 funtów za sztukę (nie aż tak bardzo, więc nie mogliśmy uzasadnić kosztów ) Strona internetowa dotycząca wycieczek i hoteli podaje, że śniadanie wynosi 13 i 14 funtów, łóżko było wygodne, a pokój był sprzątany codziennie.

Bardzo blisko stacji Bayswater. Na dole jest restauracja Med Saleh, serwująca dania kuchni malezyjskiej i halal, ale jeszcze nie miałem okazji jej spróbować. Pokój sprzątany jest codziennie. Dostarczono ręcznik, mydło i szampon. Należy jednak zabrać własną szczoteczkę i pastę do zębów. Mają małą windę, która pomieści tylko dwie osoby. Pokój był dość przestronny i miło spędziliśmy tam czas! Dziękujemy Berjaya!

Tym razem dam temu hotelowi najwyższą ocenę. Zameldowanie jest zawsze bardzo profesjonalne, a telewizor działał! Żałuję tylko, że zarezerwowałem tylko jedną noc, ponieważ śniadanie jest tak dobre. Trochę się spieszyłem i chciałbym zjeść więcej! Niestety musiałem poskarżyć się na kilku gości, którzy najwyraźniej nie szanowali gości w środku nocy, ale personel pomógł mi to rozwiązać. Hotel jest wygodny i bardzo dobrze wyposażony, jak na tę cenę, i znajduje się tuż przy Paddington, a także kilka doskonałych restauracji (w tym włoskie po obu stronach, tuż przy drodze), więc jest bardzo wygodny. Mam nadzieję, że zarezerwuję ponownie kiedyś (myślałem, że ostatni raz byłem w zeszłym roku, ale było to w lutym 😂). Dzięki!
