Location good, accommodation tired and small.

Room was reasonably clean, but the cabin single is very small. Furniture was past its best, external door from the room which did not lock. Bathroom very tired and shower in particular felt a bit grimy, did not drain properly. Staff were polite and helpful, the location is excellent.

Great for this money

I stayed in a single room and it was exactly what needed and what i paid for. A clean bed, tea, small tv, toilet and a shower. Nice smelling soap. Excellent location. A bit dated but for brand new amenities i would pay several times whar i did. It's clean and comfortable. And you gat a breakfast.

Great location, basic hotel

Stayed in a single room for a night. It’s a pretty small place really just for one person. Fairly clean and comfortable bed. Breakfast is pretty basic- cereal, yogurt, pastry. Don’t expect much from the hotel other than the great location.

Hotel generally a bit “scruffy” and in need of modernisation. Small but clean room. Rather hot but appreciated being able to turn off radiator. Had to improvise to prop window open though! Would have been nice to have a bedside lamp and a water glass. Instructions for boiling water in breakfast room would be good! Friendly staff.

Cheap, good location, low comfort

Find for a place to stay for the basic necessities, in a good position. Nice that breakfast was included in the price, it’s basic but good added value. My room was a single room, single bed, and after the first night I was feeling very itchy. Asked them to do a deep clean of the room and was much better the other nights.

For a budjet London it was ok, the room was clean enough and it felt safe both in the hotel and around the area. Only access was with your key card which kept other people out. Staff were ok, but a little chilly at breakfast in their approach. Breakfast was basic, boiled egg, cheese, cereal and tea and coffee. Good choice of alternative milks though. I'm not one to complain as I appreciate I read the reviews before booking so wasnt overwhelming suprised. Not likely to be staying again.

Verified traveler

The building’s architecture was very complicated, with no elevator. My room was on the third floor, which felt more like the fourth or fifth floor. The stairs led me to the adjacent building, making it very confusing. I checked in at one building, entered the one next door, and going up the stairs felt like navigating a maze. However, apart from that, the staff were very friendly, the food was good, and I loved the coffee.
