“Mixed Feelings...Like Staying at a Nice Aunty's House”

Searcy's Roof Garden Rooms

Oct 23, 2007
3/4 found this review helpful

Great: Location, Molton Brown toiletries (what suckers we all are for a couple of bottles of shampoo!), Free bottled water, breakfast delivered to room, Room size, Quirky feel.

Not So Great: Very tired shower and bathrooms, pretty thin walls, 1986 tv, very bouncy old bed, fairly tired furnishings in general.

It's a great concept, I love the direct-access to the lift from the street thing, the very warm welcome, etc. The overall impression is a bit like a slightly run-down country B&B.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your review. You kind words about the warm welcome are very much appreciated. I am sorry to hear that you weren’t completely happy with everything but I do understand and appreciate where you are coming from.

Not So Great: Judging from your comments you have stayed in one of the two bedrooms that still have old furniture. We have replaced beds, bedside tables, chairs, tables and pretty much everything else in all other rooms back in August. I have not changed the furniture in the room that you were staying in, because there are plans to refurbish them completely, changing the layout of the rooms, knocking down walls, etc. I agree about the 1986 TVs and this is sitting as the first thing on my purchase list. Overall I feel that your comments on the bedroom that you have stayed in are justified. We will be closed over the New Years and Christmas period, and this is when I plan to get the builders in to repaint, reseal, and generally do up all of the bedrooms with the particular attention to the bathrooms.

Great: We feel that it is important to provide a value for money feeling for our customers, hence all the little extras such as the Molton Brown toiletries in 100mil bottles, bottled water, newspapers with breakfast, tea and coffee on arrival, etc We also try to include as many things as reasonably possible into the room rate, rather then charging them as extras later on. I think our breakfast also compares quite favorably with most hotels out there.

Overall whilst yes there are certain problems with the quality of the finish in the rooms, I feel that we do provide more value for money and better customer service levels then vast majority of places in London

For me anything less then a 5 star customer rating is certainly a cause for concern, and I will relay your comments to my directors. I also promise to invite you back (via a private message) when we complete the refurbishment while keeping the same rate as you paid last time.

Once again, thank you for your review and please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Regards,

Dimitrios Neofitidis

“Searcy's - the best secret hideaway”

Searcy's Roof Garden Rooms

Sep 7, 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

this is such a great place to stay, particularly as it's in the heart of Heart of London. Whats so good is that it is so far removed from those large mainstream hotels where you get shoved into a tiny room full of mdf furniture etc. At Searcy's you never feel like another number and you are made to feel very special as soon as you make your way in via the elevator! Very intimate, private and cosy, and the service was exceptional..

Stayed just 1 night at Searcy's Roof Garden Rooms. I emailed them the day before to ask if I could leave my bags with them in the morning before I stayed, very quick positive response. I arrived at 9am and was given a choice of rooms that I could leave my bags in and offered fresh coffee. The room was very comfortable, very large comfortable bed, Molten Brown goodies in the bathroom, complimentary still and carbonated water. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. A choice of breakfast that as it was a sunny day I was able to take on the roof garden. On leaving they allowed me to leave my bags to collect later that day, so I could enjoy my site seeing without carrying my bags wih me. I would definetely stay here again. Great for visiting Harrods, Harvey Nichols etc and very close to the tube station. The staff made my stay very enjoyable.

“A new favourite”

5/5 found this review helpful

A friend from work introduced me to Searcy's Roof Garden Rooms, which I never would have found on my own, and I was absolutely delighted with my recent stay. I arrived late morning after an extremely delayed flight, and was given an upgrade and a pot of coffee immediately. A block and a half from the Knightsbridge tube, it was perfectly located, and breakfast on the terrace every morning before work couldn't have been more relaxing. I will absolutely stay here the next time I'm in London and would recommend it to anyone.
