Despite a great location, AND upgrading to a “Gold King” room , the room was so disappointing with barely enough room to get around the bed and a lovely marbled glass window to hide the view of the a/c units. The bed itself was 2 singles put together with a thin topper over them ! Obviously 2 different singles as they were differing heights and a gap !! Breakfast at £40 per couple was poor and frankly unedible. The orange juice was basically coloured water, the cooked food was barely warm , had been over cooked and obviously sitting out for some time. Speaking to the front desk in case there had been a mistake made , I was assured this was indeed a “Gold king” and a good room !!!! I really am struggling to find anything positive to say about the hotel apart from that I have stayed in far better budget hotels and certainly will not use the Cumberland again. All in all NOT a great impression and a spoiler on our trip to London and indeed I was embarrassed to take my wife their for what was meant to be a special trip with friends.
Fab location, and size of room was great for 2 adults. Felt very much like a soulless big hotel, not personable experience. I had booked guaranteed early check in after a long flight from Australia and this was not achieved, so was not a great start to my hotel experience. Breakfast was good, lots of options. Location of hotel is great, very central and easy to get to bus routes or tube around London.
