Hotel Balkan

Exceptional

Liked: Bhí an próiseas ar fad an-éasca. Bhí glanadh an tseomra foirfe agus bhí an fhoireann taitneamhach.

Very good

Avoid by all means

Liked: Nothing. We were lucky to meet a nice person from next door property who offerred us a room there.
Disliked: Stinking basement with stuck window, hairs on the bed, towels on the floor, refurbishment ongoing. This shouldnt be allowed to rent

Good location & cheap. Don't...

Liked: Location is very good for the Hammersmith Apollo. A few pubs, restautants and cafes around
Disliked: The staff left me standing at the front door for 20 mins after they had seen me, I even dropped my bags there for them to look after earlier on. The ceiling in the shower was mouldy. For the price i paid, my expectations were low

For this price is quite...

Liked: Location, price, clean linen.
Disliked: The floor creaked a lot

Stranded outside hotel.

Disliked: Got stranded outside as there was no one to give access to hotel. Called their number multiple times and straight to voice mail. No call backs.

A generally pleasant stay with...

Liked: The room was equipped with complimentary toiletries, including shower gel, shampoo, a bar of soap, cotton swabs, and even a nail file – a thoughtful detail I haven’t seen often elsewhere.The hallway always smelled fresh, which made a good impression.There was a large fan in the room, which was very helpful during warmer days.The check-in and check-out process went smoothly. The staff member was polite and helpful.Overall, aside from the carpet, the room seemed clean.
Disliked: The carpet in the room looked very old, stained, and unhygienic – it gave off a strong unpleasant odor, reminiscent of sweaty feet. I strongly recommend removing or replacing it.•For the price, I expected more than just one large bath towel. At the very least, there should be a separate hand towel and a small mat or towel for the feet.•There was no “Do Not Disturb” sign or any notification system to let cleaning staff know if guests didn’t want their room cleaned. I wasn’t informed that someone would enter the room, and I would have preferred to be notified beforehand.•The bathroom was extremely small. Upon entering, I accidentally injured my hip on a sharp metal fixture near the heater. This part should definitely be covered or protected to avoid accidents in such a confined space.•The bed had a noticeable dip in the middle, which affected comfort.•It was initially confusing to find the entrance. According to Google Maps, I arrived directly at the building, but there was no doorbell or clear signage. There is a check-in point in the building to the left of the main hotel entrance, but that could be better marked for first-time guests.

Horrible

Liked: Nothing … all photos on Bookng.comm are photoshopped
Disliked: Room is a box … lights not working …. TV not working …. Hot water not work g ….most importantly WiFi not working at all .

Avoid at all cost !!

Liked: Nothing. We did not stay as it was so bad
Disliked: This is not a hotel - more like a squat. The rooms were disgustingly filthy, mouldy bathrooms, rusted towel rails, very worn headboards. Junk in the hallways. The place stank of smoke. We felt very unsafe and quickly booked elsewhere. Was advised that we could get a refund but after calling, emailing and requesting a cancellation through booking.com we have been ingnored. This place should be condemned.
