Confirmation:[protected]
Good evening,
My partner and I stayed at OYO Hutton House near London Victoria on Friday 5th August.
We booked a double room for 168e with Booking.com. When we checked in, we were informed that we had a twin room at Bookings request, although it says double on our confirmation. The receptionist who was behind the desk, who was also the manager I believe, then proceeded to blame booking and said that this often happens. Even though they did have a room with a king size bed, they didn't offer it to us. I don't think blaming Booking is appropriate considering that OYO choose to use them. The manager also asked us to sign a receipt that stated the price of the room, that OYO had received from Booking(95 pounds) which again isn't very professional.
Finally to add to the annoyances above, we arrived back to the hotel after going out for the evening, and the toilet had leaked all over the bathroom floor. We wanted to have showers before going to bed, but didn't feel comfortable considering the dirty water. We also couldn't use the toilet because of this as you can imagine. We went and spoke to the receptionist who did make a token effort to clean it up, however it was still very wet. We asked if we could stay in any other room, and he said that there weren't any.
The next morning we woke up to find that the water had been completely cut off, understandably. I went to reception again to speak to the staff and asked how we were going to use the bathroom before leaving. The receptionist then advised that we would have to wait for other guests to check out, and then we could use their bathrooms as there was no free room. As you can imagine, I wasn't best pleased and let the receptionist know this, politely of course. Then they said that there was a free room available with a bathroom we could use. As you can imagine this was both good, and frustrating to hear as we had been told there were no free rooms the night before and a few minutes before.
Then when we went downstairs for breakfast, my partner had put some bread in the toaster. The bread came out extremely burnt, and one of the cleaners on duty thought it necessary to shout at her even though she had not touched the settings of the toaster. A very odd experience.
It's safe to say that our stay here left a lot to be desired, and for the fee that OYO earned for the booking we would have expected more. I would like to request a partial refund of 50% of the fee that OYO received as a gesture of goodwill.
I have photos of the bathroom, however am unable to send them on this form. Please contact me on my email address for further information: [protected]@yahoo.com
I'm not one to complain at all as this whole process is extremely tedious, however the stay we had was completely unsatisfactory.
Kind regards,
Alex
