Ideally suited to arrivals from Paddington, great access to all the sights with underground & bus routes right outside your door. Great variety of good value places to eat on your doorstep and lovely area around the river and park to chill. Rooms were very compact but everything you needed if you are looking for a base to explore London on a budget. Staff were very helpful and amenable providing left luggage facility. Would definitely stay again.

Don’t stay here!

The rooms were tiny, run down with windows that did not close, the room smelled, it was in poor decorative order, there was a water pump or something in the room which kept coming on during the night, the rooms were on the 4th floor with steep narrow and winding stairs to them, really difficult to carry your bags upstairs.

Terrible disgusting filthy hotel- DO NOT STAY

Absolutely filthy, dirt, urine stains on bedding, urine smell in room. Revolting bathroom, dirt everywhere. Windows cracked and covered in dirt. Do not stay here. We had to find another hotel as it’s not fit for purpose. Images on the hotel advertisement are not for this hotel they are fake. Worst hotel I have ever seen.
