Rioshouse George-Inn

Really unfortunate to have to write this review. Hotel upon arrival had bags of rubbish outside the property and we were unable to park. Not too much of an issue but when we walked up our room we were greeted by an unbearable smell of smoke, being 5 months pregnant this was awful, there were leftover drinks in the fridge and the bathroom was full of orange mould, dust in all the extractors, and toilets which werent clean. Floors gritty with noticeable hairs and a very basic bed and mattress. When contacted the property to let them know of the situation, they said we should have told them when we first arrived, which i do agree with, but we were in a rush to get out for a party which we were attending, however the room should have been cleaned before we arrived not once we'd arrived and had to complain. I also dont understand how you clean smoke out of a room? Being 5 months pregnant we didnt feel comfortable staying here with mould and smoke for heath and safety reasons, so we actually left the property at 11:30pm, as soon as we returned from the party, we spent 30 minutes in the room in total and didnt get home until 1am in the morning (which was why we contacted the property the day after). Really disappointing experience, wouldnt recommend at all.

We chose this property based on free Wi-Fi and free parking. It had neither. Wi-Fi was out for a week. We were not informed until the day before check-in, they had no parking lot for the property. The car park across the street was convenient but frustrating to find. Checking in was also frustrating as it wasn't clear where the entrance was, there is no reception desk. Road work/construction going on, not the properties fault but it impacted the Wi-Fi and the parking situation. Also, because of the road work the GPS could not get us to the correct road to find the entrance. Cleanliness of the apartment was a bit of an issue, we chose this location based on its convenient distance to LHR and the charming village it's in. I thought this apartment would give us plenty of room to pack our suitcases before an early morning flight. It did have the space but the inconvenience of bringing all of our luggage and belongings down the street and then up a flight of stairs was not worth it.

The check in & check out process was very straight forward and the bathroom was spotless. There were a few marks on the bedding & the armchair was pretty grubby. However this did not effect my comfort as the room was, on the whole, very well maintained. Sound proofing was an issue though and every night the chat from the staff & punters below in the courtyard felt like it was taking place right in my room. Along with a lot of door slamming. Luckily this subsided after an hour or so but will definitely upset light sleepers.

Clean, well equipped apartments. Comfy beds and everything you need in an apartment for a short break. Check in very straightforward and rooms cleaned daily which was a nice surprise Ideal for visiting Harry Potter world and London. Food in restaurant downstairs very good and plenty of it. Only improvement needed is the shower. Limescale has caused it to split so when turned on it sprays over the top of showerscreen Would definitely stay again if visiting London, only 45 mins from Gerrards Cross train station to Marylebone

Despite there being a large fridge in the room, there were no pots or cutlery so there was no chance of self catering. Indeed we had no teaspoons at first which made making coffee and tea a bind. Staff sorted the latter when we got in touch.

Loved the venue and the accommodation. The wifi has not worked much at all and as this is for business and that I need wifi, this has been really frustrating.
