My husband, Richard, and I
stayed at the Falcon Hotel from October 26, 2007 through November 3,
2007. We had a wonderful stay at the Falcon Hotel. All the staff was
warm and friendly and helpful. The bountiful breakfast was absolutely
delicious!! We loved the beautiful, quiet park across the street from
the hotel. There were many wonderful restaurants nearby and it was an
easy walk to Paddington Station and Lancaster Gate Station. Thank you
again for making our stay in London "extra special". Word by Word email 2 December 2007

"......... The prebooking
queries and questions for a double en-suite room were
responded to fully and promptly and were most helpful..
checking in was also very friendly and help and advice was
always at hand.. you just dial 0 from your room 24 hours a
day and more like a 5 star hotel they go out of their way to
help (even delivered toilet paper to our room when we ran
out!)...
Sorry, no names for this, guest asked to remove from here... 27 Sept 2005
Dear All, Dear All, The Elliott's & Butlers wish to thank you once again for a very enjoyable stay at the Falcon, we were made to feel very welcome, like coming home, hope to see you next year. Thank you, Andrew Judith Mike Ange

The breakfast was very good. The rooms were always clean. It was very quiet at night both inside and outside your hotel which we appreciated. We all said that we plan to stay with you again when next we are in London. Thank you again, Email 11 Aug 2005 Margery and Stewart Bowman,Canada
HELLO FALCON HOTEL
Email dated 20th July 2005 by a family from New Zealand
My
husband & I stayed here 21 years ago, and now are coming
back with our kids, ages 15 & 12. We were able to
locate you via Google. Word for Word from a reservation request dated 24th June 2005 by David and Susan H in Florida, USA
To the desk staff, Thank you for making our stay in Paddington very memorable. We have recommended your hotel to many of our friends both in England and Australia, so hope you generate more business from these contacts. Once again many thanks for your service. Regards Barry and Ruth Bishop
Word for Word from a and email dated 19th June 2005 Dear ..... I do hope you like the lace. The little mother figure just reminded me of you looking after your guests and your family. The birds are supposed to be falcons........ (words about the present omitted)........ I just changed the top letters to say welcome which is how we always feel when we come to stay with you. See you in July.....
Word for Word from a card and present by Helena in Perth - 25.02/2005 I have to write and say how much I enjoyed staying at the Falcon (October, 2004) – all of the reviews are exactly true! The location is fabulous – so close to Hyde Park, Paddington Station and the tube (as well as the Heathrow Express – I arrived at the airport with nothing to do!), small shops, cafes and an internet café. I felt I never had to go very far for anything. The hotel does feel like home, with wonderfully welcoming and helpful reception staff whom I was genuinely sad to say goodbye to. My room was basic but clean – what more do you want for such an amazing price? Traveling on my own, I felt very safe and enjoyed meeting people in the breakfast room each day. I count myself very fortunate to have found this hotel over the internet, and I tell all my friends and anyone coming to London about it. Thank you! Word for Word Email from Margaret Cathro Australia 12/1/2005
"How can we tell you how much we enjoyed
our stay at your hotel? My daughter and granddaughter & I
are so glad we decided to stay at the Falcon. Every one of your
staff went out of their way to make our stay so pleasant. They
made us feel like "family". Thank you so very much,
and please relay our thanks to them as well. Word for Word Email from Janet Sims, USA 21 Dec 2004
"To
the guestbook by email: Word for Word Email Bengt Friskman, Sweden "I just wanted to extend my thanks for your kindness and accommodations while I stayed in London. I'm back in Chicago nearing the end of my work week and it now feels as if I'd never been on holiday!! I enjoyed your hospitality and when I come back to London, you can count on my business again!
Thanks
and I had a wonderful time and it all seemed to quick!! Follow-up: "Please do put my comments on your website!! You're affordable, comfortable, and accommodating. The location was stellar too given the nearby Paddington Station. All points of interest were able to be reached by the one minute walk to Paddington Station from the hotel. The convenience stores were very practical too as I was easily able to grab a snack on the way back to my room each night. Perfect!" Larry Hill, Chicago,, Word-by-Word email 20/11/2004l "Just wanted to thank you for a very nice stay at your hotel last week. My family enjoyed our stay at Falcon Hotel and hope to stay with you again soon. The good service and wonderful breakfasts made it a visit worth remembering. Keep up the good work! Yours" Mr Christoffer Holmqvist - Sweden "I just wanted to let you know that after traveling in several countries in Europe after staying at your hotel, yours was one of the best! We found the location to be good as it was easy to access the underground and just minutes from most any attraction that we wished to see. It was also quiet and very well kept. The space was smalller than we are used to, but the service and friendly people made it feel special. Also we did make our flight to Germany, we were the last ones on the plane, but we did make it! We just made every second count in London. Thank you so much for helping with the taxi, the driver was great and had a lot of information as to how to get around for our next trip to London. Thanks for making our vacation fun while we were in London we will return to you when we are there again.
Word for word email, Alan & Heide Menard, USA 31.10.2004
"We arrived back in South Africa on Sunday
morning. This is just a short note to thank everyone at the falcon
for a wonderful 7-night stay. Our room was very comfortable and
clean and it was super to start the day with that delicious
breakfast. We also have great appreciation for the friendly manner
in which we were assisted - from directions and tips to sending
e-mail and faxes. Your rates really are the best in London - I did
two weeks' "research" on the internet. One pound sterling
is now worth eleven and a half South African rands. Thanks once
again." "Thank you to all at the falcon for the
personal and friendly service Word for word email from Rikki McAndrew, Primus, Australia "I want to thank you for the kind attention, comfortable bed and enjoyable breakfasts during my stay. I shall certainly use The Falcon as a base when I am in London. I don't have a date for next month yet but hopefully I shall be down soon and shall contact you re a vacancy before trying elsewhere." Word for word email from Michael Spence, UK, a regular traveler to London An email from Russia!: "We finaly approach Krasnodar. It was crazy, because of snow-falt in Moscow we had to wait for a plain for hours. So two days without sleeping, and rush-hour in a office now! However, we were pleased to live in your nice and warm hotel, and to meat polite and smiling people there. I am working hard now, to have a possibility to visit you in April." A word for word email from Maria G. Birioukova and family from Russia
".....
Anyway, I thought it high time I write to send you a proper
thank you. For everything. Traveling abroad alone was a big
step for me; I was definitely scared, regardless of my excitement, but
you helped make the falcon feel like home and that was more than I could
ever have hoped for. Email from N.F.
"I have found my home in Europe!" An IT consultant from America seconded to Europe
"We were being charged almost double the price for a room not different to yours" A couple who stayed one night at Royal L****** Hotel, a 3 star hotel round the corner. They switched to us the next day for half the price!
"A friend of mine recommended your hotel, because of the low prices and conditions"! N. Garcia, Portugal " I like the fact that you are flexible with check-in and check-out times and we can leave our belongings with you for collection later" A family who needed sleep fast on arrival! We are flexible with arrival and departure time if reasonable. "The best decision I ever made for a long time!" An executive from a major international company (we can not name) who used his own travel allowance and for same price brought his wife and two children on a business trip and stayed in our family room, effectively paid for by his company!
"Staff here are so nice we feel really at home" A family from Scotland
"You guys are so good and efficient you have no problem running a Hilton!" A compliment from a businessman!
"This is the cleanest place around Paddington and Bayswater I have been to for a long time" A regular traveler from Scotland " We recommend you to everybody we know!" An American family who were in London for their son's wedding and used our kitchen to prepare some food for their guests
"Your location is first class for me. I wiz from Heathrow, do my business, stay and relax for a night and wiz back. I did not feel I was traveling internationally" A businessman from the Netherlands
"You are not a big hotel but you made us welcome and feel being cared for a lot more than big hotels" A compliment from a regular visitor
"You do not rip us off like big places by adding this and that to the bill. Your rates are very affordable too. We wonder how you make money?"
Simple! We have turnover and lots of repeat business keeping us occupied throughout the year. Many hotels at best have an average of 60% occupancy rate. We run not below 80%. Also we run a reservation book like a city trader does. By taking confirmed bookings only based on one night deposit, we do not have to make up for loss on customers who do not show up up!
Only through your comments we can improve and sell ourselves. Constructive comments and criticism equally accepted!
