Whiteleaf Hotel

Last I stayed here was a lifetime ago and I STILL remember the experience. Nastay!
The floor merely serves as a collection ground for hair, dust, and who knows how many varieties of specimen. The beds are equally superb and carry an odor I could only describe as «musty».
Don’t voice your opinions to the staff, however, unless you take kindly to blank stares and an I-​am-​Indian-​and-​do-​not-​speak-​English-​good act.
They serve breakfast in the dining room, which was actually rather good though I can only assume posed some sort of health risk. The waiter service, of course, might as well have been non-​existent, so don’t expect no coffee refills because we sophisticated Whiteleaf staffers have much more important matters to attend to than you, our customer.
The entire place wreaks of curry or turmeric or whatever (cumin?) Indian spice that smells. That could be good or bad, but when you’re trying to fall asleep and you can’t stop thinking about chana masala, it’s mostly bad.

The location is excellent. It is just 2 minutes walk from Queensway tube stattion and about 5 minutes walk from Bayswater station. It is close to the Hydepark as well.
There is no parking spaces. You will have to park your car in the queensway car park (about £22 for 24 hrs if booked in advance online)
The outside of the hotel is ok. The reception area is okish, but the receptionist looked rather wiered when he asked me to fill a form with my details including my NATIONALITY!
The walkways to the room were rather narrow and had lots of confusing doors and the carpet on the stairs were worn badly.
The room was very small. The bed was okish with freshly clean bed sheets. Bedside cabinets were broken and the light switch was a bit loose (Needs smoetime before it falls off the wall)
thw bathroom was microbathroom with mouldy shower. The toilet seat shabby.
On the plus side, it was cheap £36 including full English breakfast. It had a smallish tv. There was a hair dryer. The carpet was better than the stairs’ one and the room temprature was to my liking.
The breakfast was not great, but, acceptable. You can have as much as you like. In the evening, the hotel have Indian food serving facilty that the like to call a rstaurant (I haven’t tried it)
The whole place has seen better days, but to be fair, it is ok for one or two nights where you want cheap bed and breakfast in Central London.
