Max was helpful on check-in as he was able to resolve an issue with the remote for the TV.
Bathroom looking newly refurbished with lovely hot shower.
Carpets, decoration and furnishings generally need a deep clean and / or refurbishment but for the money in London, the room was tidy with good Internet TV speed.

Fantastic hotel for our family. We only stayed 2 nights and our towels were refreshed on day 2. Exactly what we needed, at a great price. Thank you.

They do not do breakfast which is the only issue but there are several options within 200 yards so no problem.

Charming from the outside, it’s reasonably clean on the inside. One thing stops me from ever staying again is the noise from the room above.
The furniture is unstylish and dated, so though plenty of character on the external, the internal is astonishingly mismatched and old. The bed was ok, the kitchen ok, too.
The nicest bit was the tiled, heated bathroom floor, which was a surprise considering the floor in the rest of the room comprised of chipped, stick-on laminate flooring.
But it’s the noise from above that is a deal-breaker. They need to carpet or install sound-proofing.

Nice location, near tube station but just off the main road with a quiet ambience, the staff were super helpful and friendly. The room was great, perfect amenities for a very self-sufficient traveller on a one-night stopover. I'm happy to recommend Arch Hotel.

Avoid - ants on bed and in room
There ants in our room. When we told reception they said that “it’s okay” and they had put gel in the walls to attract them and that they didn’t want to disturb us. The ants were all over the bed.

Hard to say anything good.
Sorry but this place is Filthy. Sticky floors and dirty everywhere. Flooring was likely the worst of any hotel I’ve ever stayed.
Had a kitchenette and everything was dirty. Everything in the room was worn out. Bare wires hanging down in bathroom, furniture that was also worn out.
To add and not inconsequential, the staff were on the phone shouting at 6am meaning everyone was woken up.

no heating
No heating in the room and the receptionist couldn’t help us with it apart from switching the air con on.The room was 12 degrees all night. Microwave didn’t work. Door was really stiff, making it difficult to open and shut.

Not for us
Reception staff very on welcome and departure
however
- the property reception area was not 4* and did not smell very clean, scruffy
- Arriving at hotel - people hanging around drunk outside the door on arrival and they were tenants
- After returning later from dinner around 9ish - tenants had open room doors shouting across the corridor to each on ground floor just as one turns the corner from reception to access other rooms, very intimidating! Can’t believe reception did not tell them to stop as you could clearly hear the shouting
- The room was average with dirty stained in need of repair net blinds and one which wouldn’t open properly
- The room Had an access door which lead to 2 private doors
One marked Staff and the other door to the room.
There was a wire coming out from under the room marked STAFF which went under the access door and was plugged into a socket in the corridor - very odd and a hazard.
- Just as one was about to fall asleep Staff obviously entered the room next door and started cooking and talking
- The staff door closing and opening during night, very unsettling
Overall not a good business stay for a Monday night and not a place I would bring my family.

Very Rundown, shandy & dirty
Have stayed at this hotel 3 times before but not in the last 18 months & it was a good location with parking & always well looked after. Well on this trip I can only say my room was disgusting (see photos)! The mattress was dirty & stained, the walls filthy & smeared with dirt & handprints, around the floor boards filthy, damaged furniture, window blind broke off & just hooked over the fittings so it fell off as you tried to open it, toilet sheet damaged & hanging off!!! Lots more too, made a video which really shows how bad things are but can’t post on here. Spoke to manager verse email & 50% refund offered which never happened, now serval emails later no reply!! DONT STAY HERE ITS FILTHY!!! In today’s COVID hazard times I don’t believe the hygiene is good!!
