Good points: The room was good for the price and clean Toilet and shower in the room A lot of buses to go to the city centre Bad points: Sound of a pump. You hear the sound of this pump starting/stopping and it's very annoying. Bathroom small and bad pressure in the shower

This is not a hotel you want to stay in. First, I got there and my room was on the third floor, I asked if there was an elevator and the guy working at the front desk just told : "No, there are stairs, climb it". Okay ... The room was fine, a bit small, the bed weren't comfortable, and... More

I stayed here for work, and it was absolutely fine. Clean enough and in a good location close to shops and bars, and some parks nearby for running. There were a few damaged items in the room such as the showerhead and lumpy mattress, but all-in-all it wasn't so bad.

I stayed in this hotel as it was close to family. I understood it was a budget hotel so I expected basic but hygienic facilities. On arrival my room was on the third floor so I had to haul my luggage up the three flights of stairs as there was no elevator or was I offered any assistance. The room... More

I stayed in this hotel last night and was going to write a favourable review as though this place is most definitely a 'budget' hotel with absolutely no frills, our room was clean and tidy, with clean towels and bedding (though with an old and very tired bed and mattress) and the staff initially, friendly. Having read prior reviews that... More

I stayed here for two nights. On the plus side, I saved a lot of money and I had a clean warm safe place to stay, with a small bathroom. There are buses that run nearby that take you to Bethnal Green tube station. Some of the rooms are close enough to the wi-fi hotspot to have a very good... More

It's a weekend/shortbreak budget hotel. We were visiting Family in Hackney. The entrance is off a side road just below the petrol station, as you approach the archway to the hotel entrance you can't help but notice the derelict building, take a good look at the windows, it's an art installation. We asked to see the room before paying, It... More

My friends and I booked this hotel for an overnight weekend stay. There were 5 of us and we got a family room with one double and three single beds. It was a good sized room and all the beds were clean. The curtains were not hung properly and the bed bases were a little bit dirty but apart from... More

When we arrived the staff seemed friendly, which was a plus as the hotel itself left a LOT to be desired! After hauling our luggage up 3 flights of stairs (without being offered assistance!) we got to our room... Well, what a dump! It had two beds and a TV at least, but the cleanliness was appalling! There were bits... More

Reviews for this place seem poles apart! My own experience falls in the "don't touch with a barge pole" camp. I was there for as long as my husband on the end of a telephone could find me somewhere else - a clean, well presented and comfortable hotel a few miles away for the same money (£65). This hotel is... More
