What bothered me most about this hotel was the staff which was very rude. As soon as we walked into the reception at the hotel the first thing they asked us for was the full payment without us even having seen the room. This has never happened to me in any other hotel before especially considering we were going to be spending 3 nights in this hotel on the third floor without a lift. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Marble Arch Inn is a very small and dated b&b. We stayed there for 2 nights and I wouldn't want to stay a day longer. Worst: tiny rooms and breakfast in the room only! Best: good location for sightseeing. We opted for the en suite double bedroom, which was tiny- I've read other reviews in the past in many websites and always thought that the authors were exaggerating a bit- believe me, it was TINY- and neither me nor my boyfriend are big people. The bathroom was a miniature- the walls were plastic and reminded me of a chemical toilet/cubicle- the shower was the best- in order to wash myself I had to stand sideways as the position of the fixed shower was such that I could stand facing it... And the icing on the cake was the breakfast- the previous evening we picked our breakfast tray from reception and had to eat it in the tiny bedroom on top of our bags, towels, straighteners- a lot of clutter... I would personally opt for a nicer hotel 2-3 tube stops further north next time (Paddington area) or try something near Euston station.

according to the price it's a good location, but it has very high and narrow stairs, .. you have to carry your luggage ! not easy for elderly customers.

Room to small. Bathroom even smaller. Breakfast all in plastic. To noisy in the morning (around 6:00). No closet for cloths, so you need to leave them in your bags. If you have more them one bag it becomes a problem to walk around the room. Only what is good is location.

The location of the hotel was fine, but the room we were placed in was extremely small - we could hardley get passed each other if we walked around the room. What we received in return for the price was not equitable at all.

The room was clean, the staff was very kind, but I didn't like to stay in the basement. The street outside was very busy with traffic and people. The air in the room was very heavy because of that, and I woke up every morning with headache. Also we sometimes smell gas from a gaspipe outside the window. The breakfast was given to us in a basket every evening and we hade to eat in bed!

Most of the staff were nice, but one did not spread sunshine... No common breakfast-room made our hotell-room very tiny.

Quiet and clean room, small room and bathroom, we know we are in central London. But could the receptionist learn to smile ? Besides, as there is no restaurant, having breakfast sitting on the edge of the bed was quite unpleasant. Next time, and for the price we paid,we'll try another place.

Basic but nice. We expected something like that, booking a budget hotel, so we enjoyed our small room. Location is very good. 5 minuts of walk from piccadilly circus. Only one negative thing: my gilrfriend forgot a earring in silver on the shelf.. Not precious.. but it was a gift.. She never could find it.

Hotel bien situe et a proximite des transports en commun. Assez loin de l'aeroport (1h de trajet). Par contre les chambres assez propres mais des odeurs bizarres de drap et de serviettes. A prevoir pour votre prochain voyage dans vos valises. Hotel pas trop cher par rapport aux prix du quartier, mais je chercherais autre chose pour quelques pounds de plus.

family room smaller than expected, but it was clean. As we were on a sight seeing visit this accomodation was ideally located to get to all major attractions.

The Marble Arch Inn was disgusting. There was a black film on everything in the room. The towels were stained with what appeared to be dried blood. We turned around and left after informing the manager that the internet photos were misleading and a scam. I would never recommend anyone stay there. We are still disputing the one night charge because we did not stay and would not let our dog stay there!!

This is the one of the worst B&B hotel. I disapointed your advertising hotels.

Having the breakfast in the room is unusual and not practical. Quality of the breakfast was also very poor.

Eravamo un gruppo di 8 persone (di cui 2 coppie sposate). Albergo molto comodo per la posizione centrale. Stanze piccole ma accettabili. Particolarita': la sera viene fornito un cesto con tutto l'occorrente per la colazione che verra'consumata in camera. Non ci sono spazi comuni. Visto che si parla di Londra se si ha spirito di adattamento e' un ottimo albergo se lo si cerca al centro e non si vuole spendere troppo e poi e' pulito :)
