Nice hotel awful customer care

1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 Jun 2024
Even though I am fortunate to be a Diamond Elite and Ambassador member of IHG, I chose the Indigo Paddington rather than the Intercon as I was only passing through for one night and wanted easy access to Paddington station.
The room was fine, small but comfortable, clean and quiet. Exactly what I needed and in a great location. Well worth staying at. No problems thus far.
However...
A few days before my arrival my daughter made the 46km journey from her home, on public transport in her powered wheelchair, to the hotel to drop off some paperwork for me that had been delivered to her home. She explained the situation to the staff there and was told the documents would be securely looked after and given to me on my arrival.

On my arrival, the documents, like the manager were nowhere to be seen. The hotel had lost them but assured me the manager knew of there whereabouts and would contact me. He didn't. It is now almost three weeks later and he has still not responded to any of my emails. One of the documents they lost was a railcard. I had purchased train tickets for the day I left the hotel which would not be valid without a railcard so I had to buy another for 30 pounds. Not the end of the world. But other documents in there were more important.

The disdain which has been shown to me is astounding. I tried to contact IHG on many of their platforms and struggled to get any response despite promises of answers within 72 hours several tmes.
Stay here for convenience and comfort but whatever you do, don't make the mistake I did and expect customer service or respect. Loyalty, it seems, only goes one way.

This is a boutique hotel near Paddington Station. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our time there. We found the hotel to be very well managed.
The staff made an extra effort to get us into our room early when we were bone tired from the road. Thank you.

This property is wonderful. We took the Heathrow Express from the airport to Paddington Station, and the hotel is an easy walk from there. The neighborhood has many small restaurants with great food and variety as well as a few sundry stores. It is also very close to the Paddington tube station which made traveling around the city easy. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to London.

On arrival greeted with a friendly face and a bonus upgrade being IHG member. Room was fairly small which we expect but to an excellent standard. Bed comfy, good coffee and tea facilities and good sized shower room/toilet. When we asked about late checkout we received this at no extra cost. ‘Only had breakfast 1 days and this was really good. Only downside when my partner used the downstairs toilet at night found it not the cleanest with a cockroach on the floor. Take that away and the hotel was faultless.

Room tip: Perfect for Paddington station

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast, and it was an absolute delight! The ambiance was charming, the service impeccable, and the food exquisite. From the freshly baked pastries to the perfectly cooked eggs, every bite was a culinary delight. I highly recommend to try if you are looking for a memorable breakfast experience in London.
