Before we ever arrived, I was made to feel welcome. Sunny Mehta, the proprietor, was very helpful…read morein suggesting things to do and explaining options for travel from Hounslow to London.
Sunny was not there on our arrival, but we were warmly greeted by Vishal, who was great in explaining the hotel amenities and the neighborhood options to us. He also carried my luggage upstairs. Our breakfast was prepared for us personally at the time we wanted to eat, so we were able to get on our way each day. There was a menu of options which included a full English breakfast. There were cold choices of pastries, yogurts, fruits, cereals, and milk. Beverages included orange juice, milk, tea, and coffee. Shan, Vishal and Josh tended to all our needs over the weekend we spent there.
We traveled by tube, and as Sunny recommended, we both bought Oyster passes which discounted our travels. At the end of our trip we were able to have the remaining balance on our cards refunded at Heathrow.
The walk from the tube is short. You leave the tube station and go left. You will cross a little side street and the Crompton Guest House will be the second walkway. It would be a great spot for a business traveler who needs to get out on an early morning flight as Heathrow is only 15 minutes or so on the tube. If you have rented a car or if you live in England and are flying out from Heathrow, it could not be more convenient than to spend a night before traveling as they offer free parking for a specified number of days. We used the tube to go to the airport but they do offer transportation. As we did not use it, I cannot remember what the fee is.
Our room had a twin and a double bed, both with reading lights, and both very comfortable. We both slept well and found the room to be very quiet. There were two night tables, a desk and chair, a flat screen tv, and a small refrigerator. There were plenty of mirrors in the room and chandeliers throughout the guest house.
The bathroom had a tub/shower combination. Large dispenser bottles of hand soap and lotion were by the sink and in the tub was bath gel, shampoo, and conditioner.
Everything is monitored by CCTV and lights have motion detectors so you are never wandering in the darkness. We felt very safe staying there.
I would recommend Crompton Guest House to friends and family. It was a nice place to stay. Service was extremely good and the staff were very focused on ensuring that guests had an enjoyable stay.
