John, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We booked the family room with a queen bed and a pull out couch with an ensuite - it was pretty good - ac was nice and cold - the location was easy to manage buses and trains and had good dining options around it - the place seems a bit sketchy when you first arrive lots of young people - we are 56-58 and our 30 yr old daughter - this wasn't too bad cost wise compared to other hotels in London and I don't think I realized how much of a hostel it is because of the room I booked - pull out couch wasn't great - be ok for kids not an adult and the bed was fine but plastic mattress and floopy feel to it - but it was fine for the 2 nights - room is the nicest there for sure - needs a curtain on one of the windows badly and the noise at night outside from traffic sirens and people sitting on the steps of the front of the building playing music at 1 am as annoying - but overall it was fine

John, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

A slight step up from a police cell….but just.

The hotel is in an okay location close to the tube station, McDonald’s, co-op etc this is the only good point. Firstly £3 charge to leave your luggage, the hijabi reception workers were unfriendly and unprofessional. The rooms now have no curtains on the beds so you’re exposed to everyone. The bed sheets were dirty with blood marks on, the walls had marks on. Overall just a bad stay and lots of better budget hostels in London,

Amazing stay!
Klas, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Please do not stay at this property. Their elevator does not work, and we realized that someone already reviewed that it was not working. This means they do not have a working elevator for a long time. There are no air-conditioning units in the rooms. We booked 2 rooms with bathrooms in each room. But not air-conditioning unit on a summertime in London is like hell. The lobby carpet have so much stains and are so nasty. The restrooms on the lobby area are not working well, poorly maintained, and nasty. Again, do not stay in this room. Expedia should not promote this place. There were many clients who were just shocked by the state of this property. Our rooms were on p

Lovely time

Had a lovely time here. My boyfriend and I booked the family room, and it was much more spacious than I was expecting. We were next to the road so there was noise but it was absolutely fine and we slept well! Tip for families: we could feel the mattress springs so we put a duvet on top of the bed to sleep on which was brilliant. Overall, great stay and no complaints.
