Not in great condition. Mould in the bathroom, no light bulb in a lamp, the cupboards bolted down, and a very springy bed. But sticky and some ants. Great location so able to get out to London attractions quickly which was main reason for purchase. For a cheaper stay than other accommodation close by, but wouldn't book this for a luxury getaway that's for sure.

As a basic place to lay one's head (especially coming in from Soho in the early hours), it's adequate, well-placed and excellent value for the location. The bed was comfortable, and staff friendly and helpful. The facilities are basic and non-suite, and the shower and toilet in the corridor a bit pokey. The basin in my room had a very low-pressure water supply, but just about adequate to clean the teeth. I'd certainly use it as a base again, though at my age (and especially after a night of jazz and caipirinhas), I maybe should pay a bit more for en suite next time!

Location!!

We stayed here for 3 nights. At first, I was a little nervous but it ended up being a good trip. The two gentlemen who work at the front are friendly and attentive. They were able to hold our luggage when we arrived early and were always kind when I needed something. We did stay at one of their family rooms with a private bathroom in the ground level. The state of the room can be improved and is quite quirky. The carpet, walls, and fixture are aged. The curtains couldn’t be drawn all the way and would recommend an eye cover. The beds were actually not bad and found them to be comfortable after a long day of walking. The linens and towels were clean. The small 3 piece combo shower was adequate. The shower had good pressure and was warm! The toilet was really annoying though cause it took a long time to refill to flush. I wish there were more hooks in the bathroom. I would recommend bringing slippers/thongs as the bathroom floor gets wet and slippery. There was a small heat wave during our stay. The room gets pretty stuffy and hot but they were able to get us a fan which helped. I would only recommend this place if you’re on a budget and want to stay at a prime location. It’s a good stay if all you need is a place to sleep and shower.
