1.1 / 5 Chris [Raglan, GB] on 29/10/2009 (Solo business traveller)

No fridge, no kitchette, no breakfast - all in advertisement on booking site.

Overall: Stay was poor. Room was tatty, but clean. No breakfast provided as hotel preparing for a wedding reception (no warning given on bookiong or at check in), no receipts provided, no fridge in room or kitchette/cooking faciolities provided. All stated in advert on your website. Very poor quality.  (108105314)

3.0 / 5 Allan [Llandudno, GB] on 07/10/2009 (Solo business traveller)

Friendly + helpful staff reception, good walking location for access to Underground.

Excessively loud music downstairs on first 2 of 3 nights stayed until 01:00am and 02:30am made it impossible to get adequate night rest/sleep. Unable to take paid-for inclusive breakfasts due to meal unavailabilty until 07:45am. Somewhat Spartan room could do with a freshen-up. Ingrained dirt + grease on + in fridge and microwave. Walls, floor, window + ledges needed cleaning from accumulated dust + dirt. Found pillow case and quilt cover marked + stained, beds not changed or made. TV indoor aerial broken + needed replacement. No kettle to make much needed hot drink in the room. No access to iron + board usage to press clothes. (First hotel I have ever used where the above two items were not available for guests)

Overall: The reason for my travel from Wales and stay in this London hotel was to attend essential business functions over the 3 days, hosted and advised in business by International business people and entrepreneurs. However I have to say I was disappointed overall with this hotel, and would not be willing to recommend or attend .  (108606264)

2.4 / 5 Joe [Sheffield, GB] on 06/10/2009 (Solo business traveller)

Overall: I thought that tea & coffee making facilities were standard in all hotel rooms these days (even the cheapest), but not so here! The TV reception (basic 4 channels - not even Channel 5!), from a cheap indoor aerial, was terrible. Bed and linen were clean and comfortable. Breakfast (full English) was well cooked and well served, although the quantities were meagre. All-in-all adequate accomodation and very basic - but what do you expect for this price in London?  (108158870)

2.7 / 5 John [Oban, GB] on 06/10/2009 (Other)

Friendly staff

bedroom too small, with no furniture or shaver point. Of three shared toilets, one had no light or window, so could not be used, and one ran out of paper. One shower (shared) did not work.

Overall: As we were only eating breakfast and sleeping there, the hotel was OK. For London, it was cheap.  (108190921)

1.1 / 5 Jason [Ballymoney, GB] on 24/09/2009 (Solo leisure traveller)

This is the first time i have stayed in a hotel, where i find it difficult to find a single good point! Its close to Upton Park football ground i suppose.

Where do i start! The place was dirty, cluttered, noisy. The kitchen staff in particular were so unwelcoming, that i didn't take breakfast! I could go on and on, but i would need a lot more time!

Overall: Really appalling, i would never stay here again! I can say, hand on heart, that id rather sleep in the street, than stay in this pitiful place ever again!  (108879146)
