This property bore no resemblance to the images online. It was incredibly small, needed maintenance and there was a leak from to ceiling causing a large damp patch on the bed. The worst experience I have ever had with an online booking. There were no checking details and nobody answering the front door on arrival. I had to contact Expedia to get a number for the host and wait to be met in. The room was noisy (nearby air conditioning unit) and had little natural light as it was underground.

Not a real hotel.
The room was very small, no real space to move at all. Bathroom was functional but also very small. The door way is very difficult to enter and exit. The lighting is very bright spotlights in ceiling which are too bright for normal use. They are the only lights except for one light in the bathroom. The bathroom door does not open all the way because one of the beds is in the way of the door. The manager was a very friendly and helpful guy but due to phone issues he was not easy to contact. They do not make up the rooms so you need to hang your towels to dry. In short, this was more like a boarding house than a hotel and definitely not worth the money that was charged. The location is very convenient to rail and night life.

Great for short stays
Was all brilliant and secure. Really made it feel homely, service was brilliant. Apart from picture that wasn’t properly fixed to the wall and fell off, everything else was brilliant! Would recommend if you’re not going to be in the hotel room for long. I was mainly out from morning till late night, and was nice to just sleep in! Bathroom was clean and stocked up with own soaps and shower gels. Service from Joe was amazing too!

Unsure I’ll go back
The check-in took a bit of time because I think they were doing another check in so I had to stay on the street at night, which wasn’t great but there were no problems. The mattress was very uncomfortable and there was a fan in the room which would go off every so often and was super noisy so we woke up every hour or so when it went off. Another negative thing (but not the host’s fault) was the other group that was in the next room who were laughing and shouting until 2 am or so and we had to wake up at 4:30 for our train at St Pancras.

Deposit and ID, rats smell and noise.
The agent refused to grant me access unless I transferred him £100 and a photo of my drivers license! This all over WhatsApp. Rats in the ceiling woke me up twice and the general mouldy stench took some time to adjust to. Also the constant whining of the air-conditioner above the skylight. I was then charged a fee for paying the deposit.

Can't recommend
I chose this place for its proximity to the Eurostar terminal as I had an early morning departure. Bad choice. Small basement room (number 2) which was hot, despite turning off the radiator, stuffy, had a noisy AC unit right outside the window and the most uncomfortable bed I can ever remember. Sticky carpet. Bathroom was shared and the floor had not been cleaned properly for a while. This was bad even by London budget accommodation standards, yet cost EUR 84. I won't return and certainly not recommend.

It was the perfect location for me. It was close enough to Kings across to walk, I even walked to City center one day, and there were many small restaurants close by. It was a very small property, but really all we needed for a few days in London. There is no tv, but if you’re sightseeing as I was, it wasn’t a problem.

Decepcionada
Habitación y baño feos y demasiado pequeña, el acceso una escalera demasiado estrecha , no funcionaba la calefacción , te reciben a la hora exacta del checking y no hay manera de que te reciban antes, no tienen custodia de equipaje, pior lo tanto , si llegas a Londres temprano hasta las 2 pm tienes q estar dando vueltas con tu equipaje, lo mismo en el check out, a las 10 te tienes q ir y no puedes dejar en consigna tus cosas , no volveré a reservar un sitio como este

Tout, le produit proposé était sois disant un hôtel ??? La photo de la chambre ne correspond pas au produit à notre arrivée .Chambre de 7m2 en sous sol sans fenêtre juste des vasistas (ce n’était pas précisé dans l’annonce) .Salle de bain commune le crochet réparé avec du scotch !!! Le seul point positif a été le propriétaire qui nous a contacté à notre arrivé tardive et nous a donné les bonnes informations

Unpleasant experience
I'm very disappointed in this hotel. I also had the right to a small room in the basement (number 2), relevant noise because of a noisy power supply just in front of the window. A very uncomfortable bed. Bed linen not changed with hair in the bed. A shared bathroom with no shower gel and no toilet paper. I won't be coming back and I certainly don't recommend it.
