Do not stay here, it is appalling. I had to stay in London for two nights and needed to keep the costs to a minium. I am very happy with cheap and cheerful as long as the 'basic' means clean! The bare floors and wooden partition walls add to the total ambiance of this 'hotel' which is mean and sordid.... More

I have stayed here more than once and will stay here again. This place is fine for the price. It would be a travesty if the other reviews here prevented it continuing to trade in its current form. The point is this: If you pay £40 in this area, don't expect to get something that would cost £100 for anywhere... More

My friend booked a twin en-suite in this hotel through an agency. We arrived and were given a form to sign before being told they did not have our twin en-suite, only a single with a shared toilet down the corridor. We told the receptionist that this was not acceptable and was not what we had paid for, he just... More

This hotel is disgusting, people should not be allowed to stay in this place. It's dirty, smell, small and we hated spending any time there at all. The only reason we stayed was because we where charged before we saw the room, if we had seen the room before we most certainly would not of stayed. More

Disgusting place. I let my partner book a surprise hotel for my birthday and he has said he will never book anything again through fear of ending up in a dump like this. Ruined our break. Do not take any notice of any pictures you may see online, they might aswell be of a different building. As long as a... More

My daughter and I booked in last w/e for a 'theatre' w/e. It was dreadful. We were sent to the 'annexe' on the 2nd floor. I nearly fell down the stairs as the bannister came away from the wall. Our room was less than basic-----a 'cupboard' really. No complimentary toiletries---ha! ha! A VERY small bar of soap and towels the... More

If you stay here the location is great,but the bed was crawling with bed bugs,its more like a place for the homeless...I felt dirty after my stay, had to put all my clothes in the wash straight away in fear I brought bed bugs home. Shared shower rooms were clean, I reccomend paying a bit extra for piece of mind. More
