The location of the hotel is great, but.. I got the room in the ground floor, and it smelled like mold there and cold. Also, these was a strange sound comming from ventilation system, I told that administrator, and later wrote an email, but no action has been taken. The room itself was clean, quite small, but cozy. I guess the top floors should be better, but the attitude of management is not acceptable for me.

Absolutely disgusting, would give -1000 stars if I could. Hygiene is non existential. There were slugs in our room, the hall was stinking so badly, we always were running through it. Bathroom absolutely disgusting. Everywhere just solid mold. Breakfast as disgusting as everything else. The guy at the reception was nice. Never again. Don't even come close to this rats nest.

Don't accept room 403!! The one star is for the cleanliness of the room and kind reception lady. Really comfortable facilities...but oh my gosh the noise of that lift!!! Room 403, I swear, is located around the lift shaft. There was constant grinding and door slamming sounds from it from 5.30pm - 1am, and then 3am on and off, then from 5.18am onward. I'm exhausted with a plane to catch! When I called reception the lady said she'd never heard a complaint about it. I did a video anyway. So tired :(
[edit: increased star rating again due to, again, how good the staff are. I left my camera and

Better options within London for your Money, Seems to be no heating... broken tiles in the bathroom with puddles underneath which then get your socks soaked. Dust seems to be everywhere and anywhere, I think they only do minor cleans in the room. Lastly you have to pay to leave your bags in the hotel after checkout when every other hotel is free! Its cheap yes but I certainly wont be back.

It should be illegal for this hotel to keep being in business. The stay is absolutely unbearable. Staff is clueless and very unhelpful. The air conditioner was blowing HOT air which showed 16 degrees on their remote but it felt like 30 degrees and I was finding difficult to breathe and felt suffocated. I called staff and he was clueless and unhelpful. Rooms are small, and dirty, and old, and it felt like being in a nightmare. The wallpaper and rugs were dirty and scary. Had to leave this hotel and book a premier inn instead, where I felt like a civilised human being. The general hotel just looks

DO NOT STAY HERE
Our room was broken into and items were stolen including our car keys and house keys. We found another hotel to stay in that night. Manager didnt even contact us the next day. I can provide anyone with a crime ref number if they want to see if this is a real review. Please please do not stay here.

Avoid! Someone tried to get into our room few times in the middle of the night. Very small and dirty room. We had to ask for a kettle and a heater. Warm water in the shower was hardly warm. We didnt feel safe at all.
