藍寶石酒店(Blue Sapphire Hotel)

**** whole never book my advice

Found this place last minute and all I can say is, it is such a great budget friendly hotel with amenities all around the place, as well as a very very short walk to the station (Elizabeth Line) which takes you straight to Central in less than 30 minutes. The man checking me in at front desk was very kind & offered a nice discount from my total as I initially had some issues with booking confirmation on my side. The overall stay was super comfortable, room was clean and I felt very safe staying alone. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for something affordable + quiet place for short stays in London.

WHAT I DID LIKE : Yes this hotel was very clean. Cleaning very efficient when I needed my room cleaning in the morning etc.. Room was small but I was a solo traveller and it was adequate for my needs. When the toilet in my room was blocked after my first night there this was fixed and seen to quickly, and efficiently with very little fuss. WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Breakfast was included with my room booking but I found this HUGHLY disappointing. Very stingy, with very little choice or options. When I went down for breakfast the first morning there was just a few beans, a few hash browns (which I don't like anyway) and also the sausages didn't look fully cooked. So I decided to have some cereal but the milk was warm for the cornflakes. For this reason, for the rest of my stay here I went to the Irish bar McCafferey's down the road for a proper cooked breakfast in the mornings which was lovely. Also, this place is 'supposed' to have a 24 hour reception, hence why you are not given a key to the main front door. However on TWO occasions while I was there they had a sign left at the front desk to say "WE'LL BE BACK SOON!" "Our front desk staff have stepped for a few minutes and will return shortly." And a telephone number underneath for immediate attention. The first time this happened was one morning as I was about to head out, thankfully one of the cleaners was present and I handed my room key to her for room cleaning. The second time was at 12:30AM in the morning when I just wanted to get in, get to my bed, and get some sleep zzzz... But I was left waiting outside.... This was TOTALLY UNACCETABLE.... Why not just give guests a key to the main front door then, so that they can at least let themselves in at that time and get to bed, if reception staff are then just gonna decide to go walkabout for goodness sake!!!

We landed into London on a early flight. Rang a ton of hotels looking for a twin room. Couldn't find any. Rang this hotel and was informed they have a triple room with a double and single bed for 150 cash for the night. They were happy for us to drive there immediately at 3am to check in. The room was OK. However when we tried to check out we were told that we wasn't supposed to have used the 2nd bed in the room! Also that i had left some make up on 1 of the towels. This made her ring the manager and tell him we had used the spare bed and made a towel dirty! She didn't want to give my deposit back amd was gonna try charging us for the use of the 2nd bed! I proceeded to tell her that we purposely rang and asked for the 2nd bed and drove all the way from London especially to have our own bed as we are not a couple! She was having none of it! Then the issue with a bit of make up on the towel!! I mean arent towels meant to get dirty!! After a long loud debate I spoke in her native language nicely and we was given our deposit back and was able to leave! I dont recommend this hotel and they were clearly trying to extort more money from us for ridiculous things.

Our family of 5 just stayed here. The staff made us feel like family. They were extremely helpful from the moment we arrived until we checked out. The rooms were very very modern and clean. Breakfast was very nice and in a well equipped kitchen room. The air conditioning was so nice and the showers were warm. The tube was directly across the street and many food options are on the hotel’s street. Parking is across the street from the hotel. Many thanks to Farry who refrigerated our drinks overnight as we had to check out very early in the morning to continue our travels. Peaceful and comfortable stay!

Buen hotel en el extrarradio de Londres pero con estación de metro a 100 metros y a 30 minutos del centro de Londres. El edificio debía ser antiguamente un banco porque tiene el hueco en la fachada tapado de un antiguo cajero automático. Hace esquina con la calle principal de un barrio hindú y un callejón un tanto oscuro. Aún así la zona no da sensación de inseguridad ni siquiera a la noche. Las instalaciones son bastante nuevas y tiene recepción las 24 horas. El personal solo habla inglés y fueron comprensivos con un problema de efectivo a la hora de la entrada. Acordamos que el pago sería en efectivo pero tuvimos problemas con los tres cajeros automáticos cercanos al hotel, por lo que nos permitieron guardar las maletas en una de las tres habitaciones reservadas (a eso de las 11 de la mañana cuando el check-in era a las 14), ir al centro para nuestras visitas programadas y ya abonar a la noche el pago. Las habitaciones son un poco pequeñas pero debe ser lo normal en Londres (no he visto más). El baño según cada habitación tiene la ducha más grande o más pequeña y tiene un toallero eléctrico (el nuestro en concreto no funcionaba pero no nos importó ya que llevábamos un calefactor enchufable). La habitación tiene climatizador individual que funciona correctamente. El desayuno es en el sótano y tiene productos calientes (una especie de fritata, huevo revuelto, salchichas y alubias inglesas) y fríos (queso, bollería, yogures, té, pan de molde con tostadora...). Además tras comentar una intolerancia a la lactosa se encargaron de traer el día siguiente leche de soja para esa persona. Cerca hay un montón de restaurantes, KFC, Subway, MC y un pub con servicio de cocina. El hotel estaba limpio y si no entregas las llaves de la habitación a la mañana y pides la limpieza, no la realizan. El wifi funcionaba bien tanto en velocidad como en extensión y el último día que salíamos más tarde nos permitieron dejar las maletas en recepción vigiladas hasta la hora de recogida. Como cosas raras que vimos, en el sótano del desayuno NO había microondas para calentar la leche (nos la calentaba la empleada en la cocina) y tampoco había cacao (sí café y té). Y como único punto negativo las ventanas no aíslan el ruido casi nada, por lo que al estar en la calle principal molestaba un poco el ruido nocturno. Sin duda si tuviéramos que volver a Londres contaríamos con este hotel.

I stayed just one night in London and was travelling on my own. i found the Blue Sapphire excellent value for money and nice friendly staff. The single room was quite small, but adequate for one night. It was spotlessly clean as was the en suite bathroom. Again this was quite small, but everything you would need including toiletries and a great shower. Breakfast in the morning consisted of cooked or cold food, hot and cold drinks, served in the basement room, with a flat screen tv on the wall showing morning news. Thie hotel is unbeatable at the price for a good nights sleep, and convenient location.

Excellent. Don't be misled by the narrow front of the Blue Sapphire Hotel, behind lays a real gem. The hotel is new (opened late 2021), the rooms are very comfortable and very clean, all equipped with AC. The hotel is well located, just opposite to the Seven Kings train station. There are plenty food options within few minutes walking along the High Street, from fish and chips, Chinese, chicken including KFC, burgers including Mac Donald, pizza, bubble tea, ice cream and sweets and even a wonderful Indian restaurant near the train station. The building used to host a bank and there is still an ATM, so you won't have to go far to get cash before diner. There is also a pharmacy next door. However, as good as this can look, what really made our stay wonderful is the kindness of the staff. They were warm welcoming, always ready to assist to get a cab, find the best food option or just have a little chat. The room attendants were also very kin with their job. We will definitely come back and recommend the hotel without any hesitation.

The hotel is in zone 4. just outside the seven kings stop. in a very nice place in terms of location. The rooms and everywhere in the hotel are very clean. just like you see in the pictures. their staff are very helpful. Especially Farry was very friendly and explained the train system and payment system for 30 minutes without getting bored. always friendly and helpful. Thanks for the nice stay.
