The receptionist was quite abrupt when we arrived not very welcoming. The place was dirty and very dated the bed had hole in. The quilt l had cigarette burns in.When we vacated the premises and handed in our key the receptionist was asleep on a quilt on the floor which I thought was very unprofessional. There was a sign saying don’t leave any valuables in your room? Why? Was it not secure? Will not be returning and would not recommend.

The hotel is in a good location within walking distance of main line rail and underground stations as well as several museums. Staff were friendly and check in was very straightforward. Our room was a reasonable size and the bed was clean and quite comfortable. However, the en-suite was very small and accessed by a very high step which caused some problems. The shower head support was broken meaning that you had to hold the shower. The paintwork in the room was very shabby, faded and marked and there was a significant amount of dust behind the bed side tables and along some of the skirting boards and on the carpet in the corners. Wires and other lumps and bumps could be felt under the carpet. The TV screen and remote control were covered in sticky marks. Breakfast consisted of DIY tea/coffee, apple juice, cheap cereal and even cheaper bread for DIY toast. Other than that it was lovely!

They need major upgrades on this property. The bathroom was a camp trailer bathroom. The sheets did not look clean and the carpets did not look clean so we kept our shoes on the whole time. There was a younger gentleman that just did not seem inviting when we came in or asked for extra towels since we had 3 people in the room. The lady that initially checked us in was very nice and accommodating. She removed the Wi-Fi day charge for us.

OK for a night!
It was fine for 1 night as a solo guest. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Just needed somewhere to shower and sleep after a night out. Room could have been cleaner, hair on the floor of the shower and the walls of the room could really use a wipe down/repainting. Breakfast wasn't great, just a choice of cereal & toast, nothing else! That said, I'd still use again if I needed to stay in that area, good price for August!

I wasn’t happy with the hotel. The area was nice by the train station, but the condition of the hotel needs to be remodeled all over again it’s a old hotel with a small bathroom when I barely can take a shower and the bed needs to be remodeled, look like it has bedbugs. I hope I didn’t bring back bedbugs with me.

The room was very small, bathroom extremely small. The hotel is located on same street as a hospital so it's loud outside most evenings and the room got very hot, difficult to sleep at night. It's walkable to 2 train stations. It's a convenient location but not the most comfortable sleeping conditions

The breakfast was stated as continental. It was not. There was a choice of 4 cereals that was ok. You could have either brown or white bread for toast. There was jam sachets. On three mornings there was cheese slices as well . no cold meats or fruit on offer. We were the first into breakfast most of the time and the water was not hot to have a drink.

Disturbing low standard, in a state of disrepair.
This is the worst place I have stayed in my life and I have stayed in some bad campsites. The first room we were given was in a smelly basement in another hotel along the street. The bathroom was 'portaloo' style. The toilet cistern leaked into the shower area when the loo was flushed and the door couldn't be shut when sitting on the toilet. There was a damp, mouldy patch on the ceiling that had bits crumbling off it on to the bedside table. We went to speak to someone who said we could have another room. I asked if it had a bathroom and was told it did. This one also had a portaloo style cabin in the room. I was desperate for a shower after a long, hot day traveling, but could not face using the shower cubicle. I only slept a couple hours, then left as early as possible. The bed bases are stained, the bedside lights had switches held together with brown tape, the carpet had dirty stains on it, the curtains had something disgusting spiIt on them and the room was strangely hot and stuffy but it was cool outside when we left. I do not think this hotel meets even very basic living conditions. I wish I had slept on the floor at the railway station. The sheets did look clean.

Inexpensive for stay in a very convenient and safe London area. Hotel small, several floors but no elevator, breakfast standard continental of juice/cereal/rolls/coffee. Staff very pleasant and helpful. I would stay there again if we had a room only one floor from the entrance.

Run down
The hotel is shabby, but generally clean. Room was a twin on the top floor, quite small and the floor sloped, so the bed sloped too! Had to move pillows to the other end, so my feet were lower than my head. Bathroom was small and showing signs of age.

If you want the cheapest room it's OK but filthy
You get what you pay for and this was the lowest price room available. How bad could it be? Really bad, filthy and old. Bathroom couldn't be used as it was so broken. Look, it's cheap but a couple hours cleaning and painting in each room and it would be OK.
