Staff wasn’t very friendly. Rooms are cramped. We had a basement room which had limited light. Alarm went off at 3am because someone’s long steamy shower set it off.

This was a great stay would not change anything. Great value and an amazing area close to the tube 30 seconds away. Stay here you won’t be sorry we had the double deluxe room and was a good size. Would recommend this room size.

we had a really nice stay with good service and in a great location. very comfy bed and very clean and easy to understand surroundings. only downside is there’s no curtain in the middle so can be very bright at night as the lights from outside the building shine in very brightly through the night, making it difficult to sleep. thank you very much for the accommodation and would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property is in a good area. A lot to do in walking distance. Close to tube and central London. Building condition on the outside looks good but when you walk in smells sour as water damage throughout the property. Rooms are very small. I knew booking the property the rooms were not large but even smaller in person. Cleaning crew is lovely and efficient but front staff are not very helpful.
