Basic and Bare Minimum – Fine for Work, but Wouldn’t Recommend for a Holiday
I stayed at Lord’s Hotel for work and honestly, it served its purpose — but only just. It’s very basic, offering the bare minimum. The reception is staffed, and the cleaners seem to be the same people switching out the rooms. Some were friendly, others not so much.
Cleanliness was acceptable, nothing to complain about there. The room, however, was tiny, with a single hard bed and not even a kettle provided. For what I paid, even considering it’s London, it felt overpriced.
The shower had poor water pressure and the temperature control was awful — it was either scalding hot or freezing cold, no middle ground. The breakfast was very limited: just a drink, toast, cereal, and a croissant, with a strict limit of four items.
If you’re just looking for a bed while on a work trip and don’t plan to spend any time in your room, it might do the job. But if I’d booked this for a holiday, I’d have been really disappointed.
