My husband and I booked the Chelsea Lodge because it was on Arthur Frommer's recommendations and we were thoroughly dissapointed. We didn't mind that the rooms were small but we did mind that it was very filthy. There were curry stains on the wall, the comforter had multiple stains, and the bathroom had not been cleaned (there were hairs on... more

I read about this property on BudgetTravel.com, and do think it's one of the better budget properties I've stayed in visiting Europe. You're simply not going to find any kind of luxury for under $200/night in London--but if you're like me, a young person just looking for a place to sleep and shower, you could do much worse than the... more

After a 7 hour transatlantic flight, we were looking forward to relaxing a bit in our hotel room. However, when we arrived by taxi at the Chelsea Lodge Hotel we were immediately sure we had made a big mistake by booking there. The "reception" office was a cluttered, dirty room with junk laying all about. The young woman manager helped... more

Rooms where extremely dirty. Didn't look like they had a good clean in years. I was afraid to get into the shower as it was so discoloured. Bed had no springs, and again we were afraid to sleep in it. Had to use blankets we had bought to use on the plane. Apparently the building is for sale. I can... more

When we arrived we were led up a filthy stairs which smelled of smoke, our room had not yet been cleaned. The tiles were coming off the wall in the shower, there was no edging around the sink-just uncovered... more

As we stayed here two years ago and I was pleased with it at the time we decided to stay here again for another weekend. The hotel is still a good option if you're on a budget. The pub has gone and been replaced by a french bistro. The place still offers value for money. There are 3 buses stopping... more

We stayed here during Wimbledon two years ago and for what you pay for it you get great value. Prices include (simple) breakfast served in the pub downstairs. The pub can cause some noise on weekends. Taking the buss (there's a stop just outside the hotel) to the city centre takes about 15 minutes, or walk (10 minutes) to the... more

I was visiting London on short notice and most of the hotels that I found for good prices received terrible reviews on this website, which scared me. This hotel had no reviews yet, and it had the best rate I could find, so I said "no news is good news" (trying to convince myself obviously, because it was getting to... more
