The Moran is so beautifully decorated, the rooms are really plush.. the little things like the huge walk in shower, the tv that tilts out....the gorgeous mesh of green net. accross the window... a safe with number combination, I would definitley stay there again. The room faced the high road, so i could plane watch! The breakfast was great continental pastries cheeses ham, or fruit salad or cooked (black or white pudding)... and help yourself to much as you can. The globe bar does food too.. so had a lovely chicken brie grilled sandwhich came with tortilla chips and salad. The down side.. no shaver point despite being told evey room had one its on the desk at the side by the hair drier, the receptionsit even came up couldnt find it so left a adaptor free of charge, normally a ?10.00 deposit. The car parking was secure ?10.00 for residents get your ticket validated on exit.. and its free, if you have a meal at Napa restaurant, this did not extend to the bar. Huge choice of drinks and even things off the menu like a non alcoholic cocktail mustered up for me. Oh their was an ironing board too with iron.. Also no biscuits...evey hotel has biscuits.! Booked through Hotel Connect, as direct no availablity, they are great have used them many times. Enjoy and so near Gunnersby tube too..

Just got back from a great long weekend in London. We booked this hotel as the price seemed to more than compensate for the out of town location, and the cost of an underground day pass is ?5.90 wherever you are.
It really doesn't disappoint. The rooms are very well decorated, the bathrooms great and the breakfast good too. The underground station is a hundred yards away and the trains regular and around 10-15 minutes to most places (with the excpetion of, for example, the British Museum and that end of town).
I can only think of two things that let this place down - and one is so trivial it hardly matters. The service at breakfast wasn't that great and the cooked breakfast could do with baked beans (to keep you going all day!). But more importantly, there is no air in the rooms. Remember when you used to go caravanning and your mum used to open it up 'for a good airing'. That is what this place needs. It's in danger of smelling musty through lack of air and you can't open the windows.
All in all the best 4* I've been to in London.

Excelent choice for them who dont care staying far from downtown. This is a brand new hotel, modern, big rooms (really big, mainly comparing to other London hotels). Excelent bar, services, meals and cleaning, powerful broadband internet (cable - charged) and wirelless connection free on the lobby, etc.
I first stayed at a hotel located in Mayfair, fency and expensive (350 pounds/day with full breakfast, on business) and after that changed to Chiswick Moran (100 pounds/day with full breakfast). I didn't think it was a downgrade at all.
The problem.......it is located far from dowtown or other known sites and there is nothing to do around. But is close to the "tube" (Gunnesbury - 100mts). I had problems with the cable connection and they promptly moved me to another room.

Found a good deal here with Alpharooms. It suited us because we were going to Wimbledon and it is very handily placed on the District Line - Gunnersbury station is almost opposite. Also it has a secure carpark - ?10 per day (pay at reception when you leave - it does say ?20 on the sign, but is halfprice to guests). Chiswick is also now one of the dining out hotspots and at lower prices than in central London. We can recommend La Trompette, and particularly Le Vacherin, and Sam's Brasserie. There is also a dining in/but also takeaway fishshop/restaurant close by, with decent fish meals and wine at good prices.
We really liked Chiswick - leafy, quite residential, reasonably quiet, handy for Kew, lots of cafes and pubs, and good shops on the High Street..
The hotel itself is pretty good. The rooms are a reasonable size, we had no noise whatsoever, comfortable beds, all very clean, a very good climate control system, nice lighting, good bathroom with bath and walk-in shower, a walk-in wardrobe/storeplace and modern decor.
Food was OK and adequate. Our deal included breakfast and we were pleased with what we got..The staff were pleasant.
We experienced none of the things that one or 2 other reviewers mentioned, like the rooms being too warm and water too cold - my guess is that some people may not have figured out the controls well enough.
If you are content to be this far out of town, it is an excellent option, and I think we will stay there again..

On first impression the Chiswick Moran is very nice - helpful reception, nice room, easy walk from the tube. However we experienced very bad service when we enquired why there wasn't any hot water on Friday evening. Our first call to reception was fine - he apologised and said maybe in 30 mins it would be fixed. Still no water after an hour so we called again and this time a lady answered and she said the hotel was full and it was only to be expected that there would be no hot water and then she hung up after saying she would talk to her duty manager. We didn't get an apology or a call back. In the end we boiled the kettle and used that for 'showering' (ie. a wash in the sink). Next morning the hot water was lukewarm only. Glad we paid much less than the rack rate for our 1 night stay. Would not go back, esp on a Fri or Sat night when the hotel would be more likely to be full.
