Good points: it’s a convenient location that’s marred by rough sleepers and the current roadworks. Metro very close. It’s cheap, with 24/7 reception. Bad points: Linen clean but stained. Carpets laughably worn and stained, layers of dust on mouldings, and the ceiling in my bathroom was starting to fall down. Entire hotel battered and ancient, a century’s old building last updated / decorated in the ‘50s by the look of it. Furniture was mostly chipped Formica, the room had just 1 power socket used by the TV, there was no shower curtain. My room looked out on a “light well” mostly filled with a fire escape so the room lights HAD to be on. Given the price, I wasn’t expecting much from the included breakfast, and it met my expectations. Overall, it sounds worse than it was, I stayed 2 nights and slept well, and was out sightseeing most of the time.
