"THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE HOTEL INDIGO PADDINGTON LONDON UK. We were bait and switched from the Mercure Hyde Park London. The lobby of the Hotel Indigo was neat and clean. The rooms were dirty, the hospitality staff rude bordering on hostile and the front desk was so confused/clueless and tried to appease us with free breakfasts and dinner vouchers. Let me explain. I booked two rooms for two nights at the Mercure Hyde Park London UK and was told they did not have our reservation. UGH! I showed my reservation confirm and we ended up at the Hotel Indigo (not by choice). Each room at the Hotel Indigo was very small, dirty area rugs inside the rooms and in the hallways, broken curtains, inoperative smoke detector, dirty windows to the back side of the hotel, rude/hostile cleaning staff, locked out of one room, and clueless desk staff. One room was right next to a bar area and we heard music and talking late into the night as well as lights into the room because the curtains would not close. Both rooms had dirty/nasty water kettles and Nespresso machines that did not work. One room I booked for family received a VERY RUDE and frightening knock from hotel hospitality cleaning staff telling the two young women in the room to GET OUT! Needless to say, I got a call from my two scared adult daughters that someone was trying to enter the room without permission. They did not let the person in. By the time I got to their room, the person was gone. We went to the front desk and they were clueless about what went on. We went about our day and returned to find our daughters were locked out of their room. This caused panic. We told hotel staff and they unlocked the room with little explanation as to why. Luckily all their things were still there. The next morning, I heard the phone ring and could not answer in time. We went about our day and AGAIN our daughters were locked out of their room! UGH! That phone call I did not answer was the front desk calling about how they did not bill our stay correctly and that is why they kept locking one of the rooms! When we went downstairs to figure out the bill, they tried to gaslight us/me by saying they tried to call. Really? One phone call! Hotel staff could have left a note, called again or came to the room! This is one of the WORST hotel experiences we have ever had. Do not book with the Hotel Indigo Paddington. Avoid this place!"
