A room with noise is not at all what you expect from Taj Group or any London 4* hotel

2.0

Location

− The primary requirement staying at a hotel is a good nights sleep , which we did not get . The room suffered from noise from the London Underground Trains . The staff were aware of the issue but still allocated us that room . If you buy a kettle and it does not work you get a refund . The same should apply to a hotel , where fundamental requirements are not met . The Taj were unwilling to provide any form of refund.Not at all what we expected , even Booking.com were unable to negotiate a refund from the hotel .
