Reviews > Hotel Lily, Earls Court, London SW6What an flea pit! I stayed at Hotel lily in April 2008 as a budget alternative to the Ibis. It's like Hotel lily hasn't seen any improvements or decoration, and not much cleaning, since the 70s. In fact Hotel lily's right up there in my top three worst hotels of all time. I thought people might think I was exaggerating unless I took some photos of Hotel lily; pictures speak louder than words... so be prepared for the following facilities. 14" colour TV. Bring your own arial.
Fully opening windows (bring your own glue and wet cloth)
Bedside table (bring your own handles)
Bedside table contents. Maybe the cleaner was having a party.
More bedside table contents (bring your own screwdriver).
Built-in Clock Radio
light cable & string pull
Mood lighting
Wardrobe
En-suite fully equiped with tiles, some complete
Antique bog brush
Bathroom fan (bring your own sealant)
Mirror. Most of the surface is reflective.
No bin (bring your own bag)
Doors. Evidently people make a pretty robust exit here.
... and if you're a vegetarian, don't bother with breakfast unless you're desperate. The sole cooked option is beans on soggy-yet-stale white bread. The waiters don't know the difference, and don't offer an option between white, brown and wholemeal... You might think this would be a pretty basic thing for a waiter to know... I get the impression that the hotel is owned by a tightfisted, possibly senile geriatric millionaire who lives off the profits and has no interest in offering even an adequate service to guests. On the bright side, the receptionist, Nimal, is quite helpful. (no stars) |
