Location!!

We stayed here for 3 nights. At first, I was a little nervous but it ended up being a good trip. The two gentlemen who work at the front are friendly and attentive. They were able to hold our luggage when we arrived early and were always kind when I needed something. We did stay at one of their family rooms with a private bathroom in the ground level. The state of the room can be improved and is quite quirky. The carpet, walls, and fixture are aged. The curtains couldn’t be drawn all the way and would recommend an eye cover. The beds were actually not bad and found them to be comfortable after a long day of walking. The linens and towels were clean. The small 3 piece combo shower was adequate. The shower had good pressure and was warm! The toilet was really annoying though cause it took a long time to refill to flush. I wish there were more hooks in the bathroom. I would recommend bringing slippers/thongs as the bathroom floor gets wet and slippery. There was a small heat wave during our stay. The room gets pretty stuffy and hot but they were able to get us a fan which helped. I would only recommend this place if you’re on a budget and want to stay at a prime location. It’s a good stay if all you need is a place to sleep and shower.

Bad value for money, unclean, loud

Heating was left on and was unbearable with no way of turning off directly in the room, even after speaking to the front desk. Unclean, very noisy from other guests slamming doors at all hours, en-suite was tiny, smaller than a caravan toilet/shower. Not worth the money.

Really bad - just avoid Poorly fitted out. Nothing like the photos and not worth it. God knows why some people have given 10/10 reviews - ignore them and read the 2/10 ones which sum it up. Left after one night

Not a place for a long term stay in luxury. Basic room hostel. Had en suite bathroom and private room. Decent place for an overnight bed. Came up from Paris for a show. Was good and convenient. Do not ask desk to call you a cab. They will send a car service for cash and I didn't trust that. Walked down a couple of streets and hailed a cab. Easy peasy.

I’ve done my night and reported everything that was broken or missing to reception staff, whose fault isn’t theirs. The sheets and towels were clean, the tv remote batteries had leaked so didn’t work, no plug, no shower curtain, no glass, just one window curtain, noisy £99 wasted - pay more for a real hotel!

The room was very basic with an en suite that looked like it had been lifted from a caravan. No wifi in the room, no drinking water either. There was mould around the bathroom door and the single pane sash window let in the noise. Overall a very cheap room but you get what you pay for.

I had the misfortune of staying at this hotel, and it was an absolute nightmare. The pictures online are a complete fabrication; they bear no resemblance to the grim reality. The rooms lacked private toilets, forcing guests to share a single filthy public restroom with ten other rooms. The hygiene situation was appalling, with a pervasive smell of mold that made it nearly impossible to breathe. After just one night in these conditions, I fell seriously ill. This place is a health hazard and should be avoided at all costs! HOTEL STAFF VERY RUDE!!

Felt absolutely catfished by this property! Would not recommend. Room looked nothing like the images. We were directed to a room in the basement which felt more like a prison cell than a hotel room. The room was poorly equipped and didn’t even have glasses for drinking water. There was plaster and paint peeling on the walls, carpets torn and the door had previously been kicked from the inside. No sound proofing between our room and the corridor. The en-suite was a unit that looked like a shower/toilet in a caravan. The area is lovely, but the room was absolutely horrible and overpriced. It is the quality of hotel is comparable to a cheap hostel - not what you would expect for a hotel that is in such a lovely area of London.
