Weekend Stay

The accommodation is good, my only worry is the sencer in the shower/bathroom goes off to quickly, so is very dangerous if your in the shower. Other than that all good. Ive stayed a few times..

Paulina, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This place is in an edgy area and is huge hundreds of guests so you can imagine I s hectic. Couldn’t sleep but no buggy was just not my kinda place - too many people that’s all. Would stay again if in sea for work as it’s in a ggood of location for everything in central London- a 1 night spot
Richard, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

No towels.

Good location, clean rooms. I was told no towels were available and I should buy one from the shop around the corner (housekeeping were able to find one for me). The room and corridors were too hot and the lobby too cold. From what I could see, there wasn’t a kitchen which is something I’d normally expect from a hostel but it wasn’t an issue only being there one night.

4/10 Fair

A slight step up from a police cell….but just.

The hotel is in an okay location close to the tube station, McDonald’s, co-op etc this is the only good point. Firstly £3 charge to leave your luggage, the hijabi reception workers were unfriendly and unprofessional. The rooms now have no curtains on the beds so you’re exposed to everyone. The bed sheets were dirty with blood marks on, the walls had marks on. Overall just a bad stay and lots of better budget hostels in London,
Adam, 1-night trip

Lovely time

Had a lovely time here. My boyfriend and I booked the family room, and it was much more spacious than I was expecting. We were next to the road so there was noise but it was absolutely fine and we slept well! Tip for families: we could feel the mattress springs so we put a duvet on top of the bed to sleep on which was brilliant. Overall, great stay and no complaints.
