The Bull and Bush Hotel Kingston

Almost abandoned or almost derelict building,some unpleasant smells, abandoned reception , health & safety issues, leak from 1 of the rooms thru ceiling straight to reception area. Room are not inspected or clean properly before guest arrivals.

I had clean bedding/ towel and somewhere to park. The housekeeper who greeted me was friendly and couteous. So far so good. However, the rooms are in a converted pub (but the pub isn't open) and to call it a 'hotel', I think, is stretching the definition. I would say it's more like an HMO/hostel. There was unfinished laminate flooring in the corridors which was noisy when people were walking past, the kettle had to be put on the floor to reach the plug socket and the shower tray was damaged and black mould was evident. Overall cleanliness/state of repair was not good (eg the pull cord for the shower room light was filthy (ie dark brown in colour) and had no finial either. However, it was very reasonably priced for London so I guess that's all I could have expected but I dont think it should be listed as a 'hotel'.

Simple, don't stay there. I put one of my drivers in and he checked out at 02.00 in the morning when he was woken up by the biggest bed bug he has ever seen crawling across his pillow. Absolutely filthy Kingston council should be sued for allowing this place to trade.

Went there a year ago . Clearly its not improved ! To be fair our room was clean but would not stay there again . Depressing air of the place . Had to call 10 times to book when we could get nowhere else . Its cheap bjut you can see why Aviod if you possibly can is my advise
