The Haydon by Nestor

We arrived a bit late in the day and that was no problem to check in. Thank you!

Close to trendy area and Clapham junction station

The room was a dusty and grubby, with hand prints on furniture and a slow to drain bathroom sink. Also, there was air conditioning in the communal areas but not in the room.

Brief one-night stay and the view was amazing and the styling was very well thought out. The communal vibe and areas of the hotel where all accessible and comfortable as well.

The lack of air conditioning normally would not be a problem with a fan that was included in the room but the full floor to ceiling windows meant that the curtains had to be closed to keep out the heat from the sun, which was a shame until the evening when I could fully appreciate the view

- Brand new building (ass of 2026). Modern, elegant design with visually appealing common areas - Nice amenities such as a cinema room - Good location - Hot water is immediately available as soon as you turn on the tap. - Electric kettle made of metal, rather than cheap plastic.

- Poor usability: very dark spaces and low-contrast signage make navigation difficult. Furniture is all dark black, making it difficult to see anything. ⁃ Bed far too soft; unstable due to lift-up mechanism. ⁃ Bathroom design lacks basics (e.g. single tap with no hot/cold indication, wardrobe lights that require instructions, 5 different remote controls out of which maybe only one worked) ⁃ Kitchenette missing the essentials (no microwave, no proper kitchen knife) ⁃ Maintenance issues (e.g. broken light) ⁃ Glass bathroom door offers almost no privacy (noise and visibility) ⁃ Gym poorly equipped (no mats, towels, or water; thermostat not working — had to train at 28°C). ⁃ Staff unable to handle basic requests; redirected to external WhatsApp contact even for simple needs (e.g., I was told they could not give me an extra towel to train, I should either use the only one I had in the room (!), or request one via WhatsApp. - No cleaning at all in 6 days. I don't need it every day, but at least once, it shouldn't be a big deal… - Two days out of six, the shared room on 2nd floor was closed, so no coffee machines.
