    Thought the hotel came with a bar area as shown in the photos on Booking.com as we like to have a drink/nightcap after getting back to the hotel. When asked at the hotel this had been removed during Covid. So to have the photos on advertising this is misrepresention and we would have not booked there if we had known.

    Very good reception staff great location. didn’t use them but handy for buses into Central London .

    Very convenient for us as we had family either side of us. Good pub coffee shop and local supermarket. Room and bathroom very compact essentially we just needed a bed. Had a lift which is great

    I can't really think of anything we didn't like. It was good value for the money we paid.

    If you come here with reasonable expectations, especially given compared to what you are actually paying, you will not be dissatisfied. Are the rooms adorable and extremely clean and comfy? Not quite, but they're just enough for what you are paying. We were always greeted with a smile in the reception and had zero issues what so ever. We actually enjoyed the area as well with its walking distance to good pubs and restaurants. Being able to buy an amazing lamb kebab from the guys 2 mins up the street late at night was a welcome bonus.

    The shower cabin was borderline inaccessible for bigger people, I barely managed to squeeze in. The water temperature in the shower was hard to control, too - the tap didn’t seem to work properly and I almost burned myself. The bed was very low and hard to get out of. No table or chair in the room. Very strange lift that requires you to hold down a button for the entire ride.

    Good location, 24 hour reception, friendly staff, bus stop right across the street, bed was comfy

    You can hear everything that goes on in the rooms around and above you - singing, snoring, doors being banged. It's a bit run down but that's ok.

    Staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was fine. If you just need a place to sleep without forking out a fortune it's exactly what it says on the tin, and it's fairly central. Bus to Angel station is straight opposite the hotel, but it's quicker to walk during rush hour.

    First option of room (208) was tiny and bathroom drain smelled vile. Sulpher/egg. Also the door in the corner for the exterior clock. Didn't feel safe. Aged building with structural issues, plenty of cracks, uneven floors and some repairs and maintenance needed.

    Location was good for purpose and staff were friendly and happy to help. Had to change rooms and they were very happy to arrange this.

    There was quite a bit of noise during the first night of our stay from the room above us.

    Our room was basic twin room. there was a powerful shower and all required amenities were provided. The location was great for us within walking distance of the Emirates Stadium. The room was clean and ample towels were provided. the staff were very friendly.

    Possibly a bit pricey for what it is, but I was booking London Saturday night at short notice.

    The place is basic but fine, room was clean and warm, shower was hot and there was shampoo, check in was easy, front desk 24 hours, location good within walking distance of Angel - lots of good cafes, restaurants and pubs nearby.

    The communal areas are a bit messy and could do with a refresh but generally I have everything I needed and got a good night's sleep.

    really well positioned for my needs - open all of the time with freindly staff and everything you need. Simple, no frills and affordable. I felt safe. I have stayed here a few wimes and will do so again
