Convenient hotel to get to near the British museum. The double room and bathroom was quite spacious. Check-in and check-out was very quick. There could have been amenities for coffee or toiletries.

Reece

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First room had a nauseating smell of either cheese/vinegar with stained bedding and carpets. We immediately requested a new room. However, the new room had a broken radiator (stuck on full power) and a window that would barely open. Whilst the second room wasn't pungent, it was far from comfortable or clean. Stained carpet, yellow mattress, dried vomit on outside of toilet etc. Entire place could do with a bit of TLC and servicing. Finally - the smoke alarm went off at 3am. Cannot fault the receptionist, who very quickly sorted our room swap. An acceptable place to stay if all you need is a bed and running water...

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not fit for human habitation. Room was down a flight of disgusting dirty stairs in a basement. Room was filthy! Damaged walls, carpet in an appalling state, damp, smelly and honestly unsafe. I’ve seen reviews before where I’ve thought people just need to adjust their expectations of a cheap hotel but honestly this was the worst room I’ve ever seen. Shame on you Expedia for advertising this hotel on your platform

DO NOT BOOK HERE- There was black mould EVERYWHERE I couldn’t stop dry heaving. The hotel didn’t care and Expedia also didn’t care to do anything about it. I had to leave and they both refused to refund even tho this hotel is a literal health hazard.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Had to pay £5.00 to leave my case with the reception but the owner did explain why but an additional cost. Room was in the basement - do not use. It was very basic, just a bed and a tiny portable style toilet sink and shower. Shower took ages to warm up. Room was noisy from early hours in the morning could hear staff banging around. Paint on the walls was marked with paint missing in some areas. No tea/coffee facilities and no fridge.

Like a flop house. Bed just wire spring with mattress. Husband slept on the floor. Floors soft and rotting with thin carpeting. Could not open window or adjust temperature. Shower and sink in room smelled like swamp. Had to take paper with us to the toilet down the hall. The staff were pleasant and helpful. But we did not complete the 3 night reservation we had paid in advance.
