Last minute cancellation of scheduled plans required me to find accommodation for an extended period, (18 nights). I cannot express enough the appreciation and gratitude that I was able to stay at Hotel DC. A family owned hotel that provides exceptional service, super clean, comfortable rooms with Air conditioning (cold and heat), quiet, great showers too.
Breakfast was wonderful. Hot and cold buffet.

The room was clear, the bed was really comfortable, breakfast is in the price. It was very good, and everybody was very kind and helpful. The traffic is very easy.
Went for a random stay at London and wanted a decent place on the outskirts. This place was a good choice. Overall we enjoyed ourselves.
It was neat, clean and the staff were very friendly.
They charge £15 extra for parking on their site so be aware you have to book this in advance. They only have about 5/6 spaces I think it was but I still found that very expensive.
Things I would change if I could... breakfast was very disorganised.
The receptionist was doing everything herself and on her own. Even after breakfast had finished and we checked out, the tables were still dirty.
It didn't look good.
There were not enough tables to accommodate everyone at the same time. They should put a timed system in place so everyone is more comfortable.
There wasn't much in the sense of choice as the hot food was in one little pot. The guests were like bees around a honeypot once the chef put more food out. It felt like we were watching and waiting like meerkats rather than enjoying and relaxing with our food.
The rooms were comfortable. We were in a heatwave and our air con wouldn't switch to cold.
The batteries in the remote needed changing.
It would have been useful to have a bedside lamp in the room as you either had a choice of very bright or dark.
The walls are thin and you can hear your neighbouring rooms.
You couldn't hear too much traffic but we were on the lower ground.
It is a nice hotel. Good location, shops and train stops all walkable distance.
I'm not sure I'd visit again though.

Simple clean rooms with good beds.
The underground station is about 10mij walk away.
You should take care of your belongings when walking on the street. Definitely don't use your phone or use your wallet on the street when you are not paying attention

Really lovely staff on reception giving a genuinely warm welcome to customers. Modern, clean, comfortable rooms and a lovely touch to include complimentary drinks in reception. Only thing that let it down slightly was the breakfast, which seemed to be of poor quality ingredients and as a result didn't taste so good.
It's OK. Bit sweaty at night even though the roof window was open, in fact you couldn't close it, because it was in the roof, so you could hear all the traffic outside. That was a bit of a surprise as well, not having any windows, doesn't mention that in the booking site although it didn't bother me as I arrived late and left early, probably better in fact.
Check in is nice and simple and the girl was nice on reception. I liked the free squash, nice touch. It's easy to park in the streets around if you're going to be gone before the permit hours start.
All in all, it's OK. Bathroom is nicely done.

Great for the price. Staff in particular were great and really polite. It was easy to hear people walking around, even on floor above so I didn't sleep as well as I wanted to. But I would happily stay again for the price. It felt very clean too.
