A good stay.
Although very busy when we were there, the service was very good throughout. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and warm in January.

Good hotel
Amazing location for the price of the hotel .
Beds are very comfortable. Rooms are not massive but not to small. It’s very quiet considering the size of the hotel.
My only negative would be the shower isn’t great but your able to run a bath fast.
I would recommend this hotel and would happily stay again !

Great Value Hotel
This hotel way surpassed my expectations for the price paid. It was clean and well maintained and a great location in London. Really comfortable stay. It was a 1 night, late booking in December in London for single occupancy and was cheap compared to lots of other hotels in the area. It was a small room for 1 with a single bed but absolutely perfect. I'd definitely return. 3 of my colleagues also booked the same and were all equally impressed by this hotel. A great find.

Overall ok 4/5
Cost effective stay. Overall good.
Thankful for easy check-in & out, clear room, good heating.
Downside is the poor sound isolation of window, which let all squishy sounds of cars&busses of a busy road in rainy day. Definitely needed a old &damaged frame and silicone repair of the window edges to give a bit more isolation.

Disappointing
I don't think we'll be staying here again.
Negatives: there were some issues with the bathroom – the hot tap in the sink had zero pressure so you had to turn the tap several times to get a weak stream of water.
There was an unhygienic shower curtain in the bath which clung to you while you were trying to have a shower. I'm surprised they didn't think to install a shower screen.
We could constantly hear the people next door or upstairs as the walls didn't seem very thick.
On another note in the entire room there were only two power points, one of which was used by the kettle. This meant charging phones and laptops etc. was very difficult.
Positives: the breakfast was quite good with a hot buffet selection and the usual pastries, toast and cheeses and ham.

Shabby and old
Really shabby hotel, shower barely worked and couldn’t plug a lap top in to charge as socket position was so low. I tried to report the issue but the queue at reception was so long I had to leave. Window in room was old and had mould.
