Very basic hotel
online booking mentioned £ 45.95 but on arriving at the hotel the receceptionist said that the charges will be £ 50.95 if I was paying by card & £45.95 if I was paying by cash.I didnt have much cash so I had to pay £6 extra.Imagine this is one of London's hotels.
Overall: poor (108686381)

Welcoming and clean, good place just to rest. Not too far from city centre
A bit too basic, for example no soap, or extra duvet
Overall: Adequate accomodation, a fair price compared to other accomodation in London (108465250)

There were none !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As soon as we entered the room we noticed an unpleasant odour to it. The duvet covers were stained. The bed sheets were torn. The wardrobe was inadequate for a family of 4. The bedside table had the front panel hanging off the drawer. We went to the Receptionist and informed them that we were unhappy with the room and asked for an alternative room. They were unable or unwilling to accommodate our request. So we had no other option but to leave and try to find suitable accommodation.
Overall: Once we saw the state of the room, we decided not to stay. This caused us a great feal of inconvenience as we had travelled for the best part of two hours on public transport and were looking forward to showering and changing before attending our friend's 50th Birthday party. In the end we could not find another hotel in the area with a room for the night, so had to leave the party early to allow us sufficient time to get home by public transport. (108511262)

Very cheap
Bedroom was tiny and cold. Couldn't put heating on.
Shower was only lukeworm. No glass or cup in the room so I couln't even have a drink of water. Bed looked broken.
Thankfully I was tired so I slept OK.
Overall: Not great (108201147)

Bathroom in the room and not to share. Not noisy.
After asking a bathroom cleanliness, the staff only changed the towels but didn't clean the bathroom. A tv with just 4 channels. A too small double bed for 2 people.
Overall: A budget hotel very close to the central London. Staff friendly. (108403213)
Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?
Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.
How do I add a rating?
Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.
All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.
How do you manage to collect so many ratings?
48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
