  : The location is great for easy access to bus,tube,to the heart of London and the reason why i stayed it was an easy 15min walk to Chelsea FC Stamford Bridge. The staff were very friendly and lovely host's.
  : Once you walk in the front door,you just know what to expect.its a very tired, unloved building,but with some decluttering,painting and a little TLC it could be lovely. The shared batroom & shower comes with a health warning and needs total renovation.

  : Wonderful experience at the Oakley hotel mainly for 3 reasons: 1) Excellent friendly staff (thank you to all the helpful ladies who hosted us in the stay!). 2) Cool comfortable safe location. 3) Clean rooms/areas. The beds are great and no complaint about the rooms despite the small size. The Hotel is old and looks old-fashioned, but in a good way. I liked that about it. It just could really benefit from some attention to details that would enhance and improve the experience. Little things matter, especially if they are quite accesible to do. More on that below:
  : For the price that is paid, and for how little it could cost them, Oakley could do with some improvement in the little details of renovation here and there, in things that seem minor but could make a difference. Best example I have is the bathrooms: Our personal bathroom was not the most comfortable overall, but what disappointed us is that there was not even a plastic dish where we could put the bathroom soaps during use (the metal hanger that is used to store soaps or shampoos is so old that it is rusted and falling apart). That metal thing needs to be taken away and replaced. It would take so little to do that and make the bathroom feel nicer and more taken care of. There was also no small shampoos or conditioners provided, which is very odd considering the price that is charged. This was probably stated when we booked, I don't recall, but it is so weird to be in a Hotel that has no little shampoo or conditioners for guests. The rooms are small and the hotel is old, and that is fine, it is part of the charm, however, little details like the bathroom enhancements could have made the experience so much better. We had to place the tiny soaps on top of their paper cardboard sleeves (which they would stick too) to avoid having them fall down and avoid having them touch the rusted metal thing that was there (again, please replace that). This is meant as constructive feedback, not to bash the Hotel which was nice to us. That sort of thing is what makes/breaks someones stay, especially if they are staying much longer than we did. We appreciate the staff!

  : All very close to the centre. Bus stop a short walk from the hotel.
  : Older hotel facilities, but for a lower price than staying directly in the hotel it was sufficient.

  : The staff was very friendly and supportive, the breakfast was satisfactory, The location was good (it is possible to reach the main attraction by foot or bus). They kindly allow me to leave my luggage after my check-out, which is very convenient for planning a longer last day in London.
  : You can only reach the rooms in the upper floors through the stairs, but since it is an old property, that is understandable (and we were aware of that when we booked the room). Perhaps, the bathrooms could be a improved a bit.

  : The staff was very helpful and friendly, taking care for everything to be perfect. Location is great, the neighbourhood is very nice and quiet, it is close to the Battersea park. Comfortable bed.
  : Especially the bathrooms are a bit oldish and would benefit from renovation, but it does not disturb the stay.
