Dirty little hotel based in the middle of nowhere, Had to wait about 15 minutes in a unclean smelling hallway for a Basil Fawlty type hotel owner to show up and show us into the other guest house.

We stayed at The Martel Guesthouse for 8 nights, and found the place perfect for such a long London visit. Rooms are great, breakfast is great, and service is great. What more can one ask for? more

It's almost like he doesn't care so much whether he has guests or not and is tired of... more
