Location is good. Close to bus and tube and still not loud. Park outside, hardly no traffic outside window. Room and bathroom clean in general but do not drop things under a bed.. Small room to fit a family. Breakfast, lobby and reception is more hostel-level than hotel-level. In total a hostel feel more than a hotel. I guess this is what you get if you pay what we paid - which was still considerable.

The front desk staff seemed uninterested in his job. Barely sat up from his lounging. The room was minuscule. Barely fit the very narrow bed. The shower was mostly inaccessible due to be wedged in the corner of the bathroom between the door and the toilet. There were no toiletries save a wall-mounted liquid soap dispenser. The room was uncomfortably warm even with the desktop style circulating fan on. The bed was very hard, and about the width of a child’s bed. If that. I was so disappointed I checked out early and found alternate accommodations for the following night. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, even a stranger on a budget. Dreadful experience. Absolutely disappointed and discouraged. I will not be returning to it or any of its adjoining hotels.
