Norbiton Vacation Packages

Good aircon in the hot weather.

The Shepherd’s residence has several units. I wasn’t sure which one we had booked, until we got there. I had to call and someone came to provide us the keys. It was right across the street from Mayfayre House. The unit is in a great safe location, with several cute outdoor restaurants and if you walk a couple streets, you’re in the area of Mayfayre Area, Buckingham Palace and SoHo. Loved loved the location. Unit #, had 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The unit was modern, clean, full kitchen, very nice toiletries, slow wi-fi, air-conditioning, washer & dryer. I would rent this unit again.

Very small and compact inner city hotel. Rooms pretty cramped and really hard to get in and out of the bath to have a shower. Lighting was poor over the mirrors, but the AC worked well! Overall a little tired and dated, but ok.

My son and I stayed the Templeton Garden for four nights. We received small but adequate room. Unfortunately, there were many, many stains on the carpet, and an unsatisfactory amount of scuffs and dirt on the walls. In the hotel description the room was supposed to have a refrigerator. What the room really had was a box that looked like a refrigerator, but did not have a cold temperature setting. Interestingly, there were multiple items for you to purchase from the non-refrigerator box, including a German sparkling wine that needed to be refrigerated. When I inquired the first time they told me that they would look into why it wasn’t working, and send someone up. That didn’t happen! The next time that I called, they said that it was just a box for storage not a refrigerator. At this point, I was extremely irritated, because after doing tours in London all day and it was 80+ degrees, it would have been nice to come back to a refrigerator with a cold water or Coke zero. The staff gave me the runaround about it on a regular basis. The description from Expedia is inaccurate, and had I known that in advance I would’ve never chosen Templeton Garden. There are dozens of hotels within a 5 to 10 minute walk of this property, go elsewhere, because what is in the description is not what you get.
