The beds could do with better quality without attached headboard. We stayed for 2 nights and the bins where not taken out. As good will gesture should give shower gel or soup. ##### Amar Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Daljit 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Not enough parking slots, staff not available all the time. ##### Daljit Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maihrnisa 19 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything was good ##### Maihrnisa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Marina 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The room was very dirty ##### Marina Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Anna 15 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gosh hotel Walking distance to everything, very clean and comfortable. But bring a body shower soap and shampoo, there are none in the bathroom ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in May 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Raluca 11 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room is not the same as the one advertised on their website. The TV was broken, the room was dirty (I found receipts from June this year, snack bags under the furniture, the beds were on bricks, mould in places, not very clean bed linen, the walls were dirty, expired milk). We do not recommend this location! ##### Raluca Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Grace 17 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness Host is very pleasant, has a wealth of local knowledge. The room was a good size for a family. Wifi worked well. The cleaning can be improved by ensuring the floor is swept of sand (probably left by previous guest) and the kettle and cups could do with a scrub. ##### Grace Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [One Hundred Shoreditch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-One-Hundred-Shoreditch.h1058226.Hotel-Information) > - [Residence Inn by Marriott Manchester Piccadilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Manchester-Piccadilly.h3564401.Hotel-Information) > - [The Midland - Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-The-Midland-Manchester.h10959.Hotel-Information) > - [Plaza London Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Plaza-London-Hotel.h4969048.Hotel-Information) > - [Corinthia London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Corinthia-London.h3849185.Hotel-Information) > - [The Durley Dean Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-The-Durley-Dean-Hotel.h1170728.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Manchester Piccadilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Leonardo-Hotel-Manchester-Piccadilly.h72998541.Hotel-Information) > - [NYX Hotel London Holborn by Leonardo Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-NYX-Hotel-London-Holborn-By-Leonardo-Hotels.h579374.Hotel-Information) > - [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > - [The Dilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Dilly.h21538.Hotel-Information) > - [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > - [Yotel London City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-YOTEL-Clerkenwell.h48296903.Hotel-Information) > - [The Grand Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-The-Grand-Brighton.h6969.Hotel-Information) > - [art'otel London Battersea Power Station powered by Radisson Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-ArtOtel-London-Battersea-Power-Station.h83011268.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Birmingham.h789053.Hotel-Information) > - [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > - [Graduate by Hilton Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Graduate-Cambridge.h22462.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Cumberland.h21659.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > - [Bluewaters Hotel, Blackpool North Promenade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Bedford-Hotel.h34040292.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Conference-Centre-London.h48444523.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Brighton-Waterfront.h21983.Hotel-Information) > - [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > - [Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Forest-Of-Arden-Country-Club.h28506.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal London St Paul’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-St-Pauls.h1457972.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Brighton.h1768380.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Manchester-City-Centre.h205304.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information) > - [The Caledonian Tower Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Libertys-On-The-Square.h57917226.Hotel-Information) ---
