Fine

The hotel was fine for what we needed, however it does seem a bit tired and in need of a revamp. The duvet was far too thick for the time of year. Bed was okay, but could've used better/more pillows. Window didn't open, but a fan was provided. Shower height far too low, I'm 5ft9 and didn't fit under it, my 6ft4 husband had no chance.

never stay there

the room was dirty. floor filthy . smelt of mould and damp shower was mouldy sink hot water tap did not work i.e. no hot water . beds very uncomfortable. carpets outside were disgusting. no power socket near the kettle we balanced it on the radiator . ( not safe at all.) door lock did not work you have to pull the door shut and double lock to close. web site advertise bar / restaurant / breakfast this does not exist . web site said extensive refurbishment but only if this was done back in the sixty's. photos on the web site are a blatant LIE .. none of this is true. i have stayed in hotels / inns / and b&b's all over the world and this rates as one of the worst . will never stay again and never. i state never stay there spend your hard earned money elsewhere. overpriced and a dump . I hope this helps others steer clear.

It was a quaint, cozy stay. The beds were very comfortable after our overnight flight and sightseeing for the day. Bathroom needed a curtain and a fan for circulation. Not a lot of outlets either but overall, we enjoyed it.

Great stay.

Excellent service and a great welcoming. The reception team are always smiling and are happy to help. The room is not too bad. The room and bathroom were nice and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The only issue is that the walls look worn out, but that wasn't a big problem for us. Overall, great stay!

Budget hotel, clean and comfortable

A clean, friendly hotel and great value for money especially in London. There's a bus stop outside and you're about a 15 mins walk from the tube. Don't expect a top notch hotel but the rooms are clean, the beds comfy and the staff are friendly.

Staff helpful and pleasant. Room was clean but very dated and tired looking. I'm suspecting it is being updated as linen and towels were all very new looking as was kettle and cups. We had everything we needed for 1 night stay.

Easy for a quick stay.

Emergency stay as other accommodation cancelled last minute. It was basic, but useful. All a bit dated, but for the money in London it was okay with no frills.

Absolutely stank of smoke and bad plumbing. We went to politely ask to change rooms and let them know about the smoke and he seemed annoyed and told us the smell was coming from the street. This wasn’t true as the street was empty and there were cigarette butts on the window sill. We weren’t able to change rooms. Mentioned it again in the morning to a different man at the desk and he just glared at us, no apology or offer of a refund / partial refund. The staff were really rude right from the start, apart from the cleaner who we passed in the hall - she was very smiley and friendly. We then tried to get a refund through Expedia but they couldn’t get through to the hotel to authorise it. I think this is the first time I have ever left a bad review.
