Great hotel
The staff at the hotel were friendly. The room I stayed in was very comfortable and had a wonderful view from the window. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is planning a overnight stay in London.

Budget priced accomodation in posh area
Nice room. No amenities or telly at all. Nighttime gentleman very helpful with our bags. If you want an afforable room in a posh part of London, this would meet your needs. Handy for local coffee shops.

It's fine if your coming just to sleep. The room has a smell and if you get rooms on the top floor it's better rather than the basement rooms.

Stay someplace if you can
Room is in very bad shape without any maintenance, bathroom is very finicky and water won’t shut off properly and leaked all throughtout our stay. Sink & shower is also leaking. Floor is creaking like you will fall through it. For the amount of pounds I paid, it’s not worth it. However, the front desk Almash, is pretty much the only good thing about the hotel. He’s friendly and very helpful.

Smells of smoke
The rooms and the corridors stink of smoke. There has actually been a smoking ban in the UK since July 2006, did you not get the memo?

Old and dirty
The room is in the basement and no sort of ventilation, dirty, old smelly carpet and the room is just so disgusting- chipped wall paint and looks like the whole room just needs a proper refurbishment, wont come back again definitely!!

The location is fabulous. But the rooms are in poor repair and completely lacking in amenities, the beds are rubbish and simple things like the shower or curtains are unpleasant to use due to poor design and obvious cost cutting at every turn.
The room was inexpensive, but I have booked inexpensive rooms in London that felt much less like a apartment that no one has quite gone shopping for yet.

The staff were friendly and it is a 15 minute walk to town the west end which is great.
Should be advertised as a hostel - basic, not as clean as could be but fine for a place to put your head down for the nigh.
