Dan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The whole building felt neglected. The room numbers were in a random order which made finding the room difficult. I had an ensuite room, it smelled disgusting when I arrived and the toilet didn't flush properly so the ensuite smelled disgusting when I opened the door in the norning too. The window wasn't staying open properly and the radiator couldn't be turned down which made the room extremely hot. Other guests were slamming doors and running up and down stairs too. The only positives were the price for a place in London and the ease of check in and check out. I think this could be a great property if a little more care was put into maintaining rooms.

The staff here were so lovely that I almost don’t want to comment on the property- the room was filthy, there actually wasn’t someone on the desk the whole time, the photos on here are not of the inside of the property, there’s no hot water… but the bed was clean, it was actually really quiet and the staff I did see were really helpful… would have been brilliant for one night, was ok for two nights- really would have been impossible beyond that

Absolutely shocking on a whole different level. Torn carpets, stains on the wall, water didn’t run in the makeshift shower, no remote for the tv. I can only assume it was like Josef Fritzels basement. Horrendous place to rest. Wouldn’t go back if it was free.

The pictures are very different to the room that we were given. The decor was extremely tired, light fittings missing, mould in the bathroom, rot to the bottom of the bathroom door, very old and creaky bed - I could go on. With minimal expense, the rooms could be made so much better.
