2/10 Terrible

worst property I have ever stayed at. Looked like it was cloudy outside because the windows are so dirty. floor was filthy. Walls were filthy. old stained ripped chair in room. Mattresses were horrible. One available outlet that was hooked up to a power bar that did not work if more than one plug being used. Vent scotch taped to wall. Other bits of old tape on wall. Shower was black with mould around the edges. Overall, absolutely gross. Booked for two nights. Left after one night and had to pay for another hotel.

2/10 Terrible

The worst hotel we have ever stayed in. The owner is very rude and the room is unbelievable small. Not worth the money at all.

Merel, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Well I just wanna say, it’s a good way to save money in London, There’s no reception, the room need a lot of maintenance, you have limited TV channels, slow Wifi Speed, Cups and plates dirty. But well I just paid for sleep and that’s it.

4/10 Poor

Not very much value for money.
Klaes, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Staff wanted me to check out at 10:30 AM when the reservation states that check out was at 11:00 AM. The water in the showers wasn’t hot, just a bit warm. Wouldn’t recommend this hostel in the winter.
Jason, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Didn’t have hot water for the shower, bed really squeaky, unable to find a power plug in the room to charge phone. Dusty surfaces.
Fiona, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

We didn’t even have a working lightbulb in the room
Stéphane, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Do not stay here unless you really have to. There was mouse drippings on bed when we got there. The carpet floor was disgusting and felt like it hadn’t been vacuumed it months. The roof had stains all over it. Oddly enough the bathrooms were totally renovated but i they didn’t bother with the rooms. Also, the mattress may be 20 years old because we were both basically sinking to the bed frame. Maybe the worst place I’ve ever stayed…
Baily, 2-night trip
