    Even though there has been obvious renovation, further effort to keep it clean and looked after is questionable; the so-called patio was like a pigsty-loads of trash and bird excrements everywhere.On top of everything, on the second night we discovered that the door to the “patio” could not be locked and we slept all night long with unlocked door to the outside. When the problem occurred the staff was nowhere to be found. if ir was before 10 am or after 10pm.

    A lot. The location is perfect; convenient early 1pm check in and recent renovation of the hall, rooms and some toilet/shower facilities. Quadruple room big enough for 3 adults to feel comfortable.

    Looks like a converted toilet room ('vacant/engaged' lock on outside of the bathroom door). Only one towel (no hand towel). Toilet seat broken (reported to reception). Walls need repainting. Carpet stained. No bedside cabinet or table (used a chair). Uneven floor surfaces (trip hazard). Basement room with horrible outlook to a backyard. Over the wall are the train tracks which you'll hear. Unable to fill kettle under the sink - I wonder if that's what the small bottle of water was for? WiFi intermittent and dropped out. No TV. The bed and room are small. The shower is a wet room with no curtain and poor ventilation, and it will stay wet around the toilet area due to the size of the room. A fire door in the hotel was wedged open.

    Great location for Victoria Station. £72 for one night for an en suite room in central London. Kettle, tea & coffee in the room. Comfy bed. I was allowed to check out at 1100 instead of 1000.

    The room was so small the end of the bed blocked the door a little. The toilet and washing facilities were two flights away.

    A clean bed for the night in a secure room. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    The room I was initially given, advertised as a “small single” was disgraceful! It was so small, that the door was a struggle to open, impeded by the single mattress, because the room wasn’t wide enough for a single bed plus a door width, and was also only the length of the bed, so maybe 6’ at a push. Box room is an understatement. I asked to move room, as it was a health and safety hazard. The shared bathrooms were grimey, although had just finished being cleaned, and were down a flight of stairs (between floors), and had run out of toilet paper by the morning.

    The outside looked nice.

    Room was small, 'tired' and noisy, but if you're expecting anything else in this bracket, you're kidding yourself.

    I couldn’t get the television to work and the walls were very thin - I could hear next door on the phone for hours.

    It was in a good location, the street was safe and quiet and the mattress was very comfortable. It was very easy to get to from the tube station and check is was really straightforward and the chap in reception was very polite.
