This hotel was truly awful. The springs on my bed were completely broken, the hot water didn’t work in the shower, i wasn’t provided a towel and the room had stains on the carpet and door that looked like blood. The staff were extremely unhelpful and didn’t seem to care. Don’t stay here.

Avoid at all costs: filthy room, broken room lock (staff didn’t think was an issue and surprised when I raised it), no towels (had to ask), no soap, damp smell, busted mattress, broken TV and window closure. Absolutely awful.

great hotel location

Location - great, room-clean; there was no hairdryer, but we got one upon request at the reception. The was also no tea kettle in the room to boil water; there is very little space in the shower but we fit in, the water is good, maybe there could be as many shampoo packets as there are nights of sleep...there was no soap or shower gel... could use more towels.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Location was good and reception also great. Unfortunately the room was having some heating issues so I had to sleep with the window open. Luckily I always travel with earplugs otherwise it would have been difficult to sleep for long time due to the noise on the street. I stayed for one night so was still good for what I needed and the price paid.

Clean room, good location.

It is not 5 stars hotel, you cannot expect that much, however, the hotel has good location, there are 2 underground stations, some restaurants and grocery stores around that place. It is very convenient. If you are looking for clean, and convenient hotel to stay, I strong recommend.

No blind or curtains

Was provided a room with no blinds or curtain. In summer this means being woken up by sunlight by 5:00, never mind not having privacy.

Not good

I now London budget hotels are usually compact and in the smaller side, but this places rooms are ridiculously small. The bathrooms are so small when you sit on the toilet your head goes in the sink. Plus dont stay in this place in summer. It will be a sun trap and ridiculously hot coffin for you.
