It is what it is - essentially a hostel, but with separate rooms. Comfy, clean enough and warm. Friendly & helpful reception staff.

Does what it says on the tin! Needed a place to stay for a night after a festival. Can’t argue with the price, nice and cheap especially for London. The staff member on the desk was very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful staff, the room was very warm and comfortable! Shared bathroom and kitchen were clean too! It felt like more like a large house than a hotel, which might be great for some.
The staff had every possible amenity I required and I'm grateful for the extended stay despite my late check in.
Just be aware that as it's close to the high street (not necessarily a bad thing), you might get the odd busy traffic noise near you.
Good, decent place to sleep for the night for a decent price.

Nice and friendly staff.
Our family room was all new beds so I could sleep well.
I just feel bad for another customer.
My children were so happy stay here so running around and making noise.

Was nice enough, not overly fancy. Communal bathrooms for rooms which was a little awkward but fine. Rooms were clean but bathroom could be cleaner. Minimal contact with staff but we’re friendly enough when engaged.

The room was too small, not as big as what was seen on the website. The bed couldn't conveniently contain two people.
However, Mr Peter, the receptionist that received us, gave us excellent customer service. He made us feel at home. Kudos to him.

It took the guy on reception 15 minutes to answer the bell. And another 20 minutes to find my booking. They won't let u take the room key out of the hotel. He tried to persuade my to pay more to upgrade the room. And they have a notice up saying if you give them a five star review the will give you 10 percent off a room or £5 in cash. Clearly they know the are not up to standard.

The room was clean and tidy although looking a little tired. I was alone so the bed was pretty comfortable and large enough for one person. Two adults would have been a squeeze. The on-suite was fairly clean and again, functional. Although the hotel is situated facing a busy road, I wasn’t disturbed by the traffic at all. I think for the price of a room in London, it was pretty good value. If necessary, I would stay there again albeit for just a night though.

My stay at the hotel was a pleasant one for what to expect for the cost. The
shower could do with better cleaning...
Overall friendly and accommodating staff. Easy access to transport and local shops.
