Our room didn’t have a toilet which we didn’t know. The toilet was in the basement and we were on the third floor so that was super annoying. No proper shower, just a tub with a shower hose so you go the entire bathroom soaked every time you took a shower. There was a sink in the room but it was disconnected from water. The room was TINY and with our suitcases it was claustrophobic in there. The good things about this hotel is that they watched our luggage for free since we arrived early before check in which allowed us to go explore the city luggage free. There’s a Sainsbury just a block away and the Victoria tube station is less than a half mile away.
The property was ok. The carpet is stained and worn in places (in some parts down to the thread). The shared bathroom is in a small coved room. There is a bath (that leaks) and a shower head (but no wall attachment so you would have to hold it up above your head, if you can)
The room itself was ok. Comfy bed. Tv screen was crcked in 2 places...not that i was planning on watching tv but it would ja e been nice if it worked
This must be the worst hotel in London. Rooms, if I can call them so, are small and dirty, staff was literally asleep at the job and had to bang on the desk to wake him up. I got it through Expedia, but next time I will avoid it and proceed to book flight and accommodation separately using other services.
The hotel was inexpensive. However, you get what you pay for. The mattress was poor, the room was small. The pillow was thin. The location was great. Friendly staff.
It does what it says on the tin. Basement box room no windows, ideal for me as a loan traveller going to a gig. 5 minute walk from Victoria stations. Not sure I’d try showering in the shared bathroom as it’s a low arched ceiling and the shower head isn’t connected to anything. Friendly check in. A pub and takeaways and restaurant on your doorstep. Will definitely stay again.
Cheap and convenient place to stay but its very cramped, very old worn out furniture and the level of cleanliness wasnt the greatest. I stayed only 1 night but probably wouldnt stay for longer then 2. For the money in the location its decent enough for a short stay.

Convenient location, average cleanliness, but there is no window to the outside, only to the hallway which is weird, so I had to keep it open for the majority of the time to the hallway which left me feeling vulnerable and also having to hear noisy neighbors
I regret even selecting this place, it was closer to my appointment so i booked it. Though a slightly further away was Travelodge at little more money, picked this place to help an independent business and for its proximity to where i needed to go. Checked in by a woman with no customer service skills,given key to my prison cell for the night. With workmen outside my door drilling away and after 4h journey i wanted a little nap but no chance. The room was very very small and dusty with damp sheets, black mold on walls, no where to hang my coat or clothes. I dont think this room should be offered to guests at all, its more like a cupboard store room then a bedroom.
