Terrible disgusting filthy hotel- DO NOT STAY

Absolutely filthy, dirt, urine stains on bedding, urine smell in room. Revolting bathroom, dirt everywhere. Windows cracked and covered in dirt. Do not stay here. We had to find another hotel as it’s not fit for purpose. Images on the hotel advertisement are not for this hotel they are fake. Worst hotel I have ever seen.

Filthy, Disgusting - Sleep at the station

I had the misfortune of booking this hotel for a recent trip to London (Dec 2024). Arriving in London at 1:30AM myself and my husband traveled over to the hotel. As we opened the door to head to the reception desk we were greeted by dated and run down interior and a carpet that was threadbare and filthy. The reception desk was not much better, held together with duct tape, filthy yellow walls and a receptionist that was slouched in a chair in a shirt that was a filthy grey/yellow colour (I can only assume if it had seen a washing machine this year it would have been white). On giving my name the receptionist threw a key at me and asked me to 'check the room before payment was taken' to which I asked 'what exactly am I checking for!'. I went down to the room which was accessed via a stairwell in the cupboard under the stairs to the basement level (which to be honest was more reminiscent of a dungeon). On entering the room the walls were covered in black mold, the bedding was filthy and there were a number of large bugs running around the floor of the room. I left the room immediately and told the receptionist that I was not willing to stay in that room. To which he replied, 'I don't have any other rooms but you won't be charged'. Myself and my husband then left and found alternative accommodation. You would think that would have been the end of my experience with this 'hotel'! However they charged my card the full amount and when I phoned them they refused a refund.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL, EXTREMELY DIRTY AND FULL OF BUGS. We booked last minute due to train cancellations so were desperate and booked the first hotel we found that was close to the station. The bathroom was full of black mould, we didn't feel comfortable using the shower as it was so dirty. We went out to buy dry shampoo rather than showering there. There were cockroaches everywhere too. AVOID

Don’t stay here!

The rooms were tiny, run down with windows that did not close, the room smelled, it was in poor decorative order, there was a water pump or something in the room which kept coming on during the night, the rooms were on the 4th floor with steep narrow and winding stairs to them, really difficult to carry your bags upstairs.

Thankfully it was not as bad as some of the reviews suggested but it was still the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Booking in a rush and I didn't read the reviews before hand but I honestly don't really know how this is allowed to function as a hotel, the beds were the most uncomfortable thing I've ever slept on, the carpets were filthy and the bed sheets werent super clean. We were moved rooms after our door wouldn't lock and their offer to fix it in the morning wasn't accepted...the new room was better but still very very lacking...the windows didn't shut properly so banged constantly in the wind, there were stains all over the walls and carpets and the walls were paper thin. I did sleep alright but mainly due to the fact I was so tired The location was really clsoe to Paddington which was great but I really wouldn't recommend this hotel, it really felt like a youth hostel that should be about £20 a night...

TV didnt work, bathroom needed a good scrubbing, there was not tea/coffee in room, reception were unhelpful to the point of being surly and sour, did raise matters with reception who merely said they would have to see their manager who was not around - this hotel needs to be inspected by the health authority - avoid at all costs you are better off sleeping rough than staying here
