Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property was in a good area and accessible to the place we wanted to get to and from. The interior of the property is very dated, which didn't bother us, but the room was very small for 3 people, and the bathroom was extremely small. The pictures online of the rooms dont show how dated and small it all is. The room was so warm as well and had no ventilation, really. Cleanliness of the room is also very basic. Not sure we would re-book this hotel again.

This place was a mess. Surprised it's on Expedia. First, they charge for Wifi, 2.5L per day. The bathrooms are coverted closets literally, can barely move. Breakfast is a joke-stale cereal, some bread and instant coffee. Room key doesn;t work for the front door half the time.

You get what you pay for. The beds were clean and comfortable, the decor is dated and the buildings have a musty smell. The staff were polite and helpful. Breakfast was interesting and certainly not a continental but toast and cereal was available. The area for eating was very cramped and small but tables were cleared quickly and efficiently. Location is very central and very quiet. I would stay again due to the cost and the comfortable beds of the beds.

Clean, a little dated but very cheap.

Great value. Staff were fantastic. Room was very basic but clean and all you need for a brief stay. I was only sleeping there, much better than anything near this price (multi occupancy hostel, no thanks). Perfect for my one night to avoid the replacement bus service and be fresh for work in the morning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I am very careful about writing negative reviews but what was evident from this property is that the owner only cared about providing the bare minimum or less. You simply cannot make a ‘wardrobe’ from various scrap pieces of wood and a botch it together with 100 screws and think that is acceptable. The carpets were dirty throughout and varied as you walked in colour and pattern. Myself and my son decided within 1 minute we just could not stay there. As per your policy you have kept one nights stay as a charge. That’s ok. Please improve.

It's very dirty and the quality of the interior is old looking. We also found dirty male underwear in the wardrobe. We booked this hotel last minute as we needed to go to a party and didn't want to stay awake till 5am. I wouldn't recommend it for more than one night. Breakfast was very basic and served in bowels that looked dirty.

Its a decent hotel at quite center of london. For a decent price. Much better than staying at the airBnB or hostels. Its close to chancery lane tube station and has plenty restaurants nearby. The breakfast is okayish but the hosts are very hospitable.

Room was dark and dingy. There was an empty coke bottle in the bed. The shower drain overflowed into the room. The WiFi we had to pay for (£2.50 per day per device) was terrible and intermittent at best.
