    There weren't towels in my room, I had to go downstairs and look for them. The shower floods. The furniture is old and damaged. The walls are thin so you can hear everything.

    The receptionist lent me her phone charger because I didn't have an adapter, she was very nice.

    This place is ok for a 1 night stay cheep at £45 for a night small but OK very basic would not want to actually use this as a hotel more like a hostal vibe but has a private bathroom. No lift I arrived at 10pm after a 12 hour flight and a took the tube to Earls Court. I was on the 3rd floor and it was hard carrying a 25kg suitcase plus my hand luggage up 3 flights of stais I was wasted as been travelling for 16 hours

    Poor and incorrect directions and incorrect contact information - ie, wrong phone number sent on my booking, incorrect checkin details and booking reference wasn’t recognised. I never heard back from the reception staff why. the PIN number instructions to the front door are actually for a private residence nothing to do with the hotel. you need to walk around the corner. no PIN number was required when I arrived but it says the hotel name above the door.

    central, clean, en-suite.

    I booked this hotel last minute for a trip to London with my daughter. to be fair, it’s cheap and convenient. right on the tube.

    quality of the rooms is extremely disappointing. furniture in the room are most likely older than me and I’m 36. broken window made us to ask for new room but didn’t happend. we slept with plugs in ears due to the traffic outside .. it was loud and cold in the room.

    location is the only advantage of this property

    The bathroom stank of old urine, and there were white stains on the TV. The kettle was missing, and there were no glasses to drink from either. Also poor bedding, unfitted sheets, and only one flat pillow each. That being said, the mattress was very comfy, and the room wasn't cold or too hot - for a short stay and the cheap cost it was okay.

    The location was great, loads of places to visit and shows nearby as well as an underground station.

    Very dated rooms gave the appearance of it being unclean even though it was clean. The bed was very uncomfortable.

    It was good value for money £40 for a very good location. The staff were friendly and the rooms were clean.

    Everything was dated. The carpets were horrible. The tap in the toilet was broken( but it was working), you can't hang the showerhead, the room was too warm when we arrived (feels very suffocating) so we had to open the windows a little bit but that was a mistake because the window grills were too far apart and windy outside so lots of leaves fell on the bed. Scary to leave the window open as well as somebody could just throw something inside (we were at the basement). Mattress was uncomfortable and if you have a bad chest or asthma, do not book this hotel. Overall, not a great experience but you get what you pay for. Staff is friendly enough. The tv was broken and the staff said he will report it tomorrow (but we won't be here anymore! )

    Great location. Cheap compared to other hotels within the location. If you are not picky, would do.

    it was by far the most unclean room I’ve ever stayed in my life. Stains on the wall, bathroom had hairs everywhere and wasn’t cleaned properly. Every now and then the drains would kick up a horrible smell as well. Bedding all coming off, no shelves on the chest of drawers, paint hanging off the wall, too many things to name
