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.

Average

Room itself was clean and adequate but was unable to adjust radiator and tv remote was worn making the tv difficult to use. Corridors and stair carpets were shabby and needed replacing

First impressions, the building looks nice outside and reception area is pleasant. Check in was super simple, i got my key straight away with no fuss. The receptionist was very polite and well dressed. Unfortunately, the positives end there. The room was as i expected for the price, basic with a double bed and tea tray. Really old fashioned and in dire need of an update but fresh sheets and a reasonabley comfy bed. However, as soon as i let myself in to the room i was hit with the strongest smell of cigarettes. Totally overpowering and inescapable. I left the window wide open for a few hours but was afraid it might attract an intruder given it led right on to a busy street. I had a prior commitment to make so i was unable to change hotels and had to go out. When i checked out and got home the next day i had to wash every item i had with me as it reeked of cigarette smoke, i could even smell it on myself. So gross. This place is fine is you have low expectations and just need a place to put your head down for the night. I cant fault the staff or the location but....

Granny's flat.

The room was absolutely not as advertised on Hotels.com, much smaller, much less well appointed. Photos were lies. No sockets near the bed, which was quite an achievement in such a miniscule space. Old tired decor, old tired mattress. Bathroom main light didn't work, felt bad having to wake the night staff to get buzzed in as there is no unaided access even with a key. Tiny room, old paint, old mattress, guilt, everything smelling of strange cleaning products: much more like visiting grandparents than staying in a hotel that cost money.
