Clean, comfortable. A little small but it’s within walking distance of everything you need. Staff was helpful telling us about parking rules. All in all worth it if you want downtown London without paying an arm and a leg

There were ants in the room, a stained towel, the paint was peeling off, ceiling had water damage stains and cracks, room got very musty after one hour of the window closed (we were on the basement floor). Got to check in early for £15, so that’s nice.

Great value, clean and comfortable beds. Central location. For the money you can’t fault it it!! Compact rooms but all you need for a nights or twos rest visiting London as a family. Small double bed and two singles in our family room. Great location! Friendly check in staff.

Great stay!

This is definitely our go-to hotel in London. It is a budget-friendly place with a perfect location: centrally located and a five minute walk from Victoria Station. The room was small, but clean and modern. The front desk is open 24 hours and the staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included with our room and the staff are very efficient and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again!
