Room request not fulfilled

When booking I requested a ground floor or a room with access via lift as my Dad has limited mobility and rooms close together if possible. After we had checked in we were advised the lift was broken (whch I apprectite is an unforeseen event) and the only available rooms had stairs to get to the room as people had requested to swap. Although a member of staff did assist with my dads case up/down the stairs, I was given a 3rd floor room and had to take clothes out of my case to take to my room as I would not have been able to take the case up all those flights of stairs. We were also 4 floors apart so I would not have been able to assist him if there was an emergency. If they were unable to fulfil the request it would have been good to know in advance so I could have made alternative arrangements. Although there was a kettle, t.v and a hairdryer in the rooms they are extremely basic. The carpet throughout the hotel has seen better days and is loose in some parts. There are many other budget hotels in the area which are far better, I would not advise booking.

Good budget hotel

Budget hotel but very clean in a good location. Room was basic but if you only need a bed for a few nights it’s perfectly fine. Lovely staff - all very helpful. At half the price of the nearest Travelodge and premier inn definitely value for money

Tv too big for room couldn't even walk past without bashing it. Window was big enough to fit a whole person through so felt unsafe. Walls and floorboards are thin. It was okay for one night just not any longer.

Fine for a short stay

Good location to get out around London. Chosen for convenience and came with lower expectations based on reviews. Our room was bigger than expected. No issues with noise. Could do with replacing the carpets as these are pretty grubby but otherwise absolutely fine for a short stay.

Very close to the train stations, so that was convenient, thecroom wasctoo small for two people to sleep in, was supposwd to be a twin room, wasnt big enough for two beds, and neither for one person, it was very hot, no air con, was a fan but not good enough to cool the room, the beds were very comfy though, we decided to only stay for one night but checked in and paid for 2 nights
