Holiday Inn Express London-Hammersmith

I booked a room at this hotel for my cousin’s family, specifying a sofa bed for two adults and one 10-year-old child. Upon arrival, I confirmed with reception that the sofa bed would be made up, and was told it had been prepared. However, when they entered the room, we found only a bare sofa with no bedding. My cousin asked for bedding, only to be told he would need to change rooms and pay an additional £20 for what they now claimed was an “extra bed.” It was very late in the evening, and feeling they had no choice, my cousin agreed to pay and change rooms. The next day at checkout, I raised this with a male staff member named Menino at reception. He admitted he wasn’t sure what had happened and said he needed to check with the manager. However, instead of taking proper follow-up steps, he insisted I write down the credit card number used to pay the extra £20 on a piece of paper. This seemed completely inappropriate — any legitimate refund could be processed through their payment system. When I refused to give the credit card number for security reasons, Menino became rude, dismissive, and unreasonably aggressive. He abruptly ended the conversation, refused to assist further, and began speaking to the next guest while I was still calmly trying to ask for a manager. Even more shockingly, he told my cousin that he needed to "take me away or he would call the police" — despite the fact that I remained calm and respectful throughout. His attitude was deeply unprofessional, dismissive, and borderline threatening. He refused to address me directly and seemed to only communicate through my cousin, in a way that felt condescending and rooted in a very strange, almost sexist dynamic. I’m submitting this complaint to highlight both the unreasonable extra charge and, more importantly, the completely unacceptable way the situation was handled. No guest should be treated like this — with rudeness, intimidation, and a blatant disregard for proper conduct when it comes to financial details. I would not recommend this hotel based on our experience.

倫敦最後一晚的酒店，晚上辦理入住給了一間中間帶聯通門的房間，隔壁屋看電視都可以聽見，遂換了一間。面積算稍微大一點的酒店了。距離地鐵站有些距離，周圍環境比較雜亂。酒店早餐還行吧。房間內的電話很臟，用之前看一看。

I like the location

早餐很豐盛

最大缺點就係房和房之間會中間有道門 不是實木隔音措施好差 半夜聽到隔離音樂講嘢係難以瞓覺

Good location as we were travelling from Heathrow next morning, lots of bars and restaurants around. Quick breakfast helped too.
