    Shared bathroom! very noisy as on main road. In winter, or if two staying in (very small)double room bedding would have been inadequate as double duvet did not stretch from one side of the bed to the other! Solo female traveller and inadequate lock on bedroom door.

    "overall, the hotel is recommended for transit clients only. Stay for short period of time during the day or youll get bored. Cleanliness is adequate. Staff are friendly and appropriate." (97297344)

    fast check in as well as check out, no further questions ask. English meal is just right for an average person

    noisy and cant get enough sleep due to busy streets.

    "Staff are great. Hotel has many problems with pipes, floors, etc... Description of facilities for the rooms is not clear." (97112038)

    The staff were always with a smile trying to help as much as they could.

    -Dirty toilets -Filtfy curtains and floors -The sink at one of the rooms was full to the top suddenly. It seems that dirty water came from another room. -It was not a clear explanation about the facilities as for example toilets are outside the rooms. -There are no baths

    "not very good - would not stay again" (97513298)

    Hotel is well located to the centre of London and all tourist attractions.

    When booked I was told it was an en-suite room but when arrived it was not and had to share bathroom facilities. The room was extremly basic and quite mucky - also the sink in our room constantly chucked up dirty and smelly water from other rooms/bathrooms. When we made the complaint nothing was done about it or any apologies!

    New towels and soap every day. The bed was fixt every day.

    That there was only three toilets for 27 rooms and that the same rooms had the bathing establishment (showerbath)

    Water coming through the roof, black dirty curtains, seemed to be used by backpackers - staff who didn't really care.

    from Blairgowrie , GB on  January 29, 2008

    "Accommodation was fine for a one night stop-over. Room was reasonably clean and comfortable. Breakfast was fine - fast service. Some very noisy guests late at night (early morning) but can't really blame the hotel for that. If you want something cheap and cheerful in central London, this would do. Room was not en-suite, but this was reflected in the price." (97029447)

    Very basic, but adequate accommodation. Fair for the price. I would have been prepared to pay a bit more for a slightly better standard of accommodation.

    Nothing really - just very basic.

    Location and Wifi connection.

    Noise from Gower Street and thin (torn in places) curtain (more like large colured tissues) meant little and disturbed sleep. Having to lock room, walk down stairs, and use shared bathroom. Not very clean. Very uncomfortable bed. No ironing facilities.

    Hot due to it being an attic room

    "I booked this hotel the same day of my arrival since all the others were full for internet booking. The double room was very small (probably less than 8 sqm) and it has not seen any refurbishment in years. There were only 3 bathrooms for 27 rooms and normally you have to wait 15-20 minutes to find it free in the evenings and 30 minutes in the mornings. All the bathrooms were dirty all the day. The fares are too high (close to a steal) and they seem to vary according to the guest who's paying: the first night I pay 60 pound and the Japanese couple who arrived before me pay 78 pounds, the next day I pay 85 pounds, other guests told me other fares, why? I spoke with an American guest who was there two years ago and he told me that the prices were more or less 30-35 pounds for the same rooms and he wanted too to escape as soon as possible. I tried to leave the hotel before my planned leaving but they ask me a cancellation fee of 25 pounds and it wasn't worth to do it. In the same road there are at least other 5 or 6 hotels with lower fares, so check for them and AVOID AT ALL COSTS THIS FILTY HOTEL" (97439828)

    honest continental and English breakfast, clean towel everyday

    Fares too high compared to the overall offer and fares changing everyday according to different guests, dirty shared bathroom (3 for 27 rooms), tiny double room (8 sqm.)

    "Dass es keine Dusche gab. Das Zimmer war sonst einfach, aber korrekt. Enormer Lärm von der Strasse, da es ebenerdig lag." (97099781)

    Die Tatsache, dass es auf dem Zimmer keine Dusche gab.

    Desayuno ingles, tostadas y cereales: muy bueno y abundante. La situacion del hotel es PERFECTA.

    No tuvimos que esperar para ducharnos, pero creo que tendria que tener mas WC y duchas.
