    Pleasantly surprised with room, but the reception wasn’t a great welcome it was a bit off putting.

    While it’s obvious they are refurbishing and improving, when walking in to reception there was a strong smell of damp and there was a stained mattress propping a door open. The bed was also really uncomfortable, an extra pillow each and not having a gap between the bed/wall would have made a massive difference.

    The room was newly refurbished and clean. It’s in a great location for the tube into central London.

    It was dirty, a small familyroom in the basement for 4 persons. We couldn’t walk around the beds. Hard beds. We couldn’t stored the luggage after check out just for a couple of hours. The room upstairs for one person was fine but very hot. The AC and the TV didn’t work. We asked the stuff for help but didn’t get any assistance.

    The area outside and close to the subway

    I was not expecting to find the hotel surrounded by scaffolding, nor did I expect to walk past builders working as we approached the room. The reception area was covered in dust, which did not give high hope. The stairs leading to rooms had a slant and did not feel secure to use. I booked a twin room with 2 single beds, and room had 1 double bed, but not a major issue. When a spare pillow was requested we were told they did not have any.

    The room was clean, and looked like it had been updated as part of the current renovations. The bathroom was clean, and modern

    Too warm in the rooms, will be ok once the aircon is fully installed.

    You get what you pay for! It's cheap and cheerful, in a good central location. Hotel is mid renovations, so not everything is fully working yet, but the new rooms are clean, and the bathrooms are good.

    1)the hotel’s entrance was left open day and night, which wasn’t very secure. 2)our door didn’t even have the target with its number on anymore 3)nobody changed our towels or cleaned our room during our 3 days stay 4)there was no blow dryer in our room 5)the room itself wasn’t bad, but the hotel was left in pitiful conditions. 6)the majority of the hotel staff didn’t even say good morning 7)it was noisy and loud, the hotel’s walls were so thin that we could hear our neighbor cough or make video calls 8)the stairs were a deathly trap

    The location was very central, near the underground station

    the key code failed to open the door on arrival and on the second day. i had an early night on the first night but was woken up by the fire alarm at 11pm which took ages to switch off. The room was quite warm and the air con wasnt working. On the last morning the shower was barely warm

    i knew the hotel was going through redecoration howver there were quite a few irritating things. The location and price were excellent The staff were friendly

    The room was not clean when we arrived. The bed sheet and comforter were itchy so I asked for new sheets and pillow cases on our first night. And in our last day, I removed all the sheets just to make sure that they would changed it for the next user. Then I saw that the mattress and pillows were so dirty and it was so disgusting as the user. The mattress had no cover.

    when i first walked into the hotel it appeared dinghy and dirty in the reception area however they are clearly in the process of renovating.
