Firstly, I know a lot of people have complained on here at the noise from the train station. Its true, you can hear trains going past, loudly, and constantly from your room however, this wasn't an issue for me as I chose this place for its closeness to Webmley Central Station. If you choose a hotel right next to the station, there's really no reason for you to be complaining about train noises- but beware, it IS loud, and it IS constant. You have the Bakerloo and Overgeound lines operating from WCS as well, so we are talking trains from first thing in the morning until maybe gone midnight, later maybe (bakerloo is on the night tube line and begins overground at WCS).
Okay, on to my stay. Check in was a breeze. The woman at reception was lovely, polite and friendly. She was, however, to my eyes, the only member of staff on site.
We got our room on the second floor and as soon as we walked in we were greeted with a strong smoke smell. It was clear the guest before had been smoking. Informed the receptionist, as didn't want to be slapped with the £60 smoking fine.
Fast forward to night time- the bathroom light didn't work, nightmare.
Worse, the building next door to us had upward facing floor spotlights. They shined STRAIGHT in to our window, and our curtains did absolutely nothing to block it out.
Its safe to say that we got pretty much no sleep what with the light and noise combined, and just ended up stressed and overly tired for our long return trip home.
