I stayed at this hotel for one week in August, and it was genuinely one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had.
When I arrived for a late-night check-in, I was met by an extremely unfriendly receptionist (a middle-aged South Asian man). I tried asking a few basic questions regarding my stay, but he responded with short, and rude answers.
When I got to my room and pulled back the duvet to sleep, I was shocked to find a spider crawling on the bed, along with multiple hairs scattered across the sheets. It was obvious that the bedding had not been changed. Since it was impossible to sleep there, I went down to reception to explain the situation and politely requested a room change. However, the same rude staff member snapped at me and flat-out refused to change my room. When I pushed back and pointed out the unacceptable condition of the room, the situation escalated until, thankfully, a friendlier staff member stepped in. He explained that the issue needed to be documented before a room change could be made, which helped de-escalate the tension. He came up to inspect the dirty room himself and immediately arranged a room change. My feedback to that rude staff member: you should listen to guests without prejudice rather than jumping to harsh conclusions.
Unfortunately, the issues did not end there. During breakfast, I had another unpleasant interaction with a Black female kitchen staff member. When I asked for a vegetarian sausage, her attitude, tone of voice, and the way she handed over the food were unacceptably rude.
I paid £150 per night for this stay. For the same amount, you and your family can stay at a 5-star all-inclusive beachfront hotel in Turkey with vastly superior service quality and a genuinely friendly, helpful team.
Additionally, the ventilation in the rooms was terrible, making the stay very uncomfortable.
On a positive note, the location offers good transport links, making it easy to get around. However, the surrounding area does not feel safe at all, and I personally would not choose to stay in Brixton again.
I am giving a star solely for the 1 or 2 friendly staff members I briefly encountered.
