Merlyn Court Hotel

We were pleased with the location of this hotel. It was clean and the room was spacious, and pretty quiet, with some street noise. I've stayed in a lot of B&Bs and this one looked decent and kind of quaint, inside and out. We were sharing the toilet and shower, but had a sink in our room. So the old and kind of broken down wardrobe and other furniture didn't bother me. I knew the wi-fi would be spotty, but my daughter bought a sim card with data when we arrived in London, so we were good for wi-fi. And I can handle a rock hard bed. (The double.) The blankets were pretty old/well used, but the sheets were clean and crisp. My daughter, however, found herself navigating the springs on her single bed to get comfortable. So it wasn't really what we were looking for in beds. And though I was told (by the owner) the wrong hour for breakfast when we checked in, I did get to the dining area for "breakfast". I was offered tea or coffee, 2 slices of white toast and a packet of not-very-good marmalade. Is this really what constitutes breakfast in London B&Bs? We were really let down and disappointed by the breakfast, and surprised Merlyn Court can advertise itself as a B&B. The people in the hostel across the street looked like they were eating very well...

Staff very nice and friendly, only concern was that although our check in was approx 12-1 when we arrived at 12.30 ish, only 1 room was ready, the other wasn’t until 4, however although we couldn’t use it, we were given the key so that when we came back after 11 we didn’t need to disturb anyone. Staff very helpful

The hotel was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. They claim to have free WiFi, however, it rarely worked in our room and the community area where it did work was dim and uncomfortable. The bed needs more pillows.

Very good value considering how close you are to the West End. My only gripe was that I feel the 'free' breakfast which consists solely of m toast and marmalade with a cup of tea or coffee, should be made clear in the booking process
