Disgusting place

First of all pictures are misleading. In fact rooms are dirty, small and noisy. Bathrooms are in disgusting conditions. No owner appeared to help us, everything was handled by email. Bad smell, stairs to reach the bedrooms were unsafe and dirty. We firmly advise people not to book a room in this hostel. A complete waste of money

Bed bugs!! Horrible place. Avoid at all costs!

I would not be able to leave a low enough score. When I arrived, there was nobody to let me in. Several of the pictures in this listing are NOT OF THE HOTEL. The first picture in particular looks like some sort of reception area. This is a complete con because there is NO RECEPTION AREA. There is just a red front door into what obviously used to be a bedsit that had been updated for the room photos and then left to rot since. My room was INFESTED WITH BED BUGS. I counted 16 on the bed alone at one point. Those were just the ones I could see on the surface. There were more on the walls and floor. The baths were also filthy. They don't have their own reception phone number either. They use a managed service shared by other hotels and when I tried to complain and get moved to another room, or get my money back, the people in the call centre kept saying they would pass the message on to someone at the hotel. Nobody from the hotel got in touch. Eventually, at 04:30, I gave up trying and simply phoned hostels and hotels around London to find somewhere else to sleep. I couldn't stay somewhere with so many bugs! I then had to work with Hotels.com to get my money back. They needed authorisation from the hotel to issue a refund! I had to email the hotel proof of the infestation (photos and video) in order to get them to give my money back. They should be kicked off Hotels.com because they're a complete con and rip-off.

詐欺ホテルです。

このホテルは予約サイトによってホテル名を変えて掲載しています。 写真も嘘です。エントランスの写真を頼りに探すと見つかりません。赤いドアが1枚あるだけです。現地につきチェックインしたいとホテルに電話すると名前などを確認され、数分後に折り返すと電話が切られます。そして1時間以上経っても電話は来ません。再度煽りの電話を入れるとまた名前などを確認され再受付されるだけで、また数分後に折り返すと言って切られます。このまま電話は来ないでチェックイン出来ないのではという不安もあり、その後の予定もあったので、急遽他のホテルを予約してそちらに宿泊しました。結局最初の電話から2時間以上経過してから電話がありましたが遅すぎです。自分と同じように仕方なく他のホテルに変更してる方も何名かいらっしゃいました。またこのホテルの予約はキャンセル時返金不可の予約しかない為、返金要求しても断られます。 利用しないことをお薦めします。 というかこういう悪質なホテルを掲載しないで欲しいんです。

Studentenhuis?

Kamer moeilijk te vinden, maar is de rode voordeur net voor de Mc. Donalds. Kamer is zéér eenvoudig, bad en wc wel elke dag schoon, maar zeer oud en gammel. Slaapkamer zeer sober en oud, slechte matras op stapelbed en het ergste op de slaapkamer: een lekkende kraan. Er is geen receptie maar bij aankomst verteld degene die jou opwacht wel de belangrijkste dingen, zo ook dat er een alg. telefoonnummer is dat je kan bellen als er wat is. Heb gebeld voor die kraan en werd netjes geholpen, uurtje later belde er een "monteur" om te zeggen dat hij in de middag zou langs komen, ik kon gewoon stad in. Bij terugkomst bleek de kraan nog steeds erg te lekken.... Kamer lijkt net als in een studentenhuis maar ligt wel centraal bij bushale en bij metrostation Brixton.

The room did not look like the pictures, it was run down and infested with bed bugs! Besides the booking site did not mention that the bathroom was shared, so the room description was totally deceptive. Originally I had a booking for 2 nights but I ended up leaving in the middle of the first night and sleeping into my car as the bugs were walking all over me, that was gross, this room was just not useable. The booking website won't give any money back, so that reflects badly both on the owners of this room and on Expedia for letting such rooms be advertised on its service without a chance to perceive the difference. This is a total rip off.

Lidt tam oplevelse

Det var en lidt sær oplevelse at ankomme til en form for opgang, hvor lejlighederne var lavet om til værelser. Opgangen var i ringe tilstand, med ujævne trapper, ødelagt gelænder og store huller fra vanskader i loftet. Det var lidt imponerende at trappen stadig stod. Værelset var fint nok, der var rent sengetøj og rene håndklæder. Der var dog på ingen måder service nok til 4 mennesker, 3 små tallerkner, 1 gaffel og 2 knive. Toiletterne på gangen var ret ulækre, flere gange måtte vi selv tørre pis op, for at kunne komme på toilettet, og på trods af at vi bad rengøringsdamen om toiletpapir, var der ingen toiletpapir eller håndsæbe på nogen af toiletterne.

This listing entirely misrepresents the property. The picture in the listing is not this property. It is the entry to a Brixton restaurant several blocks away. The only evidence of the property in this listing is a windowless red door between two retail stores, with the address on it. There is no front desk. When I called the phone number of the property, a non-English-speaking tenant answered the door and escorted me to a shared room on the third floor. Ten minutes later, the proprietor phoned me and met me on the 3rd floor to escort me to my actual room, which was bare. The bathroom was shared. I was charged £50 as a deposit and was promised it back. It hasn't yet shown up in my bank account. Thankfully I'm pretty self-reliant and I made do with what wasn't there. Once settled in, it is a place to sleep. Drop the key in the red box when you're done. Outta there.

No staff, only a phone # to contact. Window blinds could not be opened, so no idea as to the weather outside. Had to go to the front door, 2 floors down, to find out. Room smelt musty, caused, as I discovered, by a water leak soaking the carpet in the passage and part of the room. Window couldn't be opened to air the room. Served its purpose, but very disappointed. Would not use again, except as a last ditch.
