Sapphire Hotel London

+Small room is well kept +Shower is great, i appreciate the good pressure showers, shampoo, soap and gel provided +Location is very convenient with many Tube stations, a convenient store and a supermarket all at walking distance +Quite good value for money

The hotel has been recently renovated, so it looks good and clean and WAY better than the average cheap hotels in the same area. VERY convenient position, the bus stop is just a few steps away and there's three tube options at walking distance. No noise, no stress, comfortable beds and single rooms bigger than average. There is a little kitchen common space available. The bathroom was very clean. The people from the staff are VERY nice and willing to help at any time. And when I say "any time" I also mean late at night. I would definitely recommend this accommodation to lone travelers, families, commuters and people who just want to retreat to a quiet place (with everything at hand) after a busy day. The check in at the twin-hotel next door is not an issue.

I've stayed here before and that time the room was compact but for what I needed, it fulfilled everything for that stay and had an excellent new bathroom. Staff were very helpful with checking in (communication beforehand and in person) and since I was leaving very early about what to do as staff wouldn't have been on site then (leave keycard in room). I was very surprised to find this room was notably larger but I expected the excellent new bathroom. The location is very close to Goldhawk Road Station on the Underground. You could also walk from Hammersmith up Shepherd's Bush Road but that would take longer. Generous amounts of tea and coffee supplied.

As long as you know in advance what you're signing up for, it's really good for people who just need an affordable well-placed location. I was also very impressed with having my own very clean and new bathroom. Just be aware that the rooms are very small and liaise with them in advance if such things as stairs are going to be an issue (not in my case for me to climb to the top floor). Also, talk with staff on check in about what to do if you mislay your access card. I was lucky to find someone when I got back late and my actual card had just slipped further into my bag. Also very handily within walking distance of Goldhawk Road Tube Station and there was a very convenient Sailsbury Local store just across the road open early and until very late.

Perfect budget hotel. No frills but clean and comfortable and safe. The staff were very helpful. With the slight addition of earplugs (it is on the Shepherd's Bush Road after all) I got a very good night's sleep. Would definitely stay again. Great location too. Just a five minute walk from the tube.
