I’ve done my night and reported everything that was broken or missing to reception staff, whose fault isn’t theirs. The sheets and towels were clean, the tv remote batteries had leaked so didn’t work, no plug, no shower curtain, no glass, just one window curtain, noisy £99 wasted - pay more for a real hotel!

The room was very basic with an en suite that looked like it had been lifted from a caravan. No wifi in the room, no drinking water either. There was mould around the bathroom door and the single pane sash window let in the noise. Overall a very cheap room but you get what you pay for.

I had the misfortune of staying at this hotel, and it was an absolute nightmare. The pictures online are a complete fabrication; they bear no resemblance to the grim reality. The rooms lacked private toilets, forcing guests to share a single filthy public restroom with ten other rooms. The hygiene situation was appalling, with a pervasive smell of mold that made it nearly impossible to breathe. After just one night in these conditions, I fell seriously ill. This place is a health hazard and should be avoided at all costs! HOTEL STAFF VERY RUDE!!

Felt absolutely catfished by this property! Would not recommend. Room looked nothing like the images. We were directed to a room in the basement which felt more like a prison cell than a hotel room. The room was poorly equipped and didn’t even have glasses for drinking water. There was plaster and paint peeling on the walls, carpets torn and the door had previously been kicked from the inside. No sound proofing between our room and the corridor. The en-suite was a unit that looked like a shower/toilet in a caravan. The area is lovely, but the room was absolutely horrible and overpriced. It is the quality of hotel is comparable to a cheap hostel - not what you would expect for a hotel that is in such a lovely area of London.

Stay someplace if you can

Room is in very bad shape without any maintenance, bathroom is very finicky and water won’t shut off properly and leaked all throughtout our stay. Sink & shower is also leaking. Floor is creaking like you will fall through it. For the amount of pounds I paid, it’s not worth it. However, the front desk Almash, is pretty much the only good thing about the hotel. He’s friendly and very helpful.

Nice central location, good size room. Reception was nice and allowed early check in. However, the furniture was super old, could do with new ones. Bed and floor was squeaky. Sometimes you can hear people walking around in the hallway. The bathroom from the room felt miles away but this was kept clean.

Budget priced accomodation in posh area

Nice room. No amenities or telly at all. Nighttime gentleman very helpful with our bags. If you want an afforable room in a posh part of London, this would meet your needs. Handy for local coffee shops.

What a terrible place to stay. Dirty, tatty, uncomfortable beds, curtains falling down, ripped carpets, dodgy door lock on room. The "en-suite" was a joke - tiny cramped and worse than a caravan - dirty shower curtain falling off, drippy taps, pubic hair on toilet seat. Horrendous. Do not stay here!
