Notting Hill, London hotel rooms at the Independent

"As soon as you walk in, there was a very strong cologne like smell. It was in the entire hotel. It made me nauseous and gave me a headache. I booked to identical room for two nights. One for me And one for a Family member. My room was significantly smaller than the one my family member had. Why are rooms the same price and yet not the same size. Very disappointed Rooms were by the street and it was very noisy. Hotel front desk attendant was very rude when I checked in. Towel heater in the bathroom was not working at all. Shower did not drain properly "

"Clean room, well located"

"Great location and facilities. Highly recommend "

"Great area to stay in! Staff was wonderful, and hotel exactly what I expected. "

"The bedrooms are extremely small, but everything else was fine!"

"Great location lovely friendly helpful staff. Room clean with tea facilities. I would call the hotel shabby chic. Staff member Sarah was so very friendly and very helpful."

"yes all that is needed"

"The hotel is clean, offers good dining and bar options. Its location is great. It is close to the Tube to get around town or to/from Heathrow. Also a good variety of restaurants in a comfortable walking distance. There is also the Portabella market on weekends. It's a good choice whether your trip is short or long. I have no hesitation to recommend it."

"The room had a very musty smell. I had to keep the window open most of the time I was there. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was good. "
