Unprofessional and needlessly long check-in
The check-in was terrible. The first phone no. I called said they weren’t working, then the other one claimed someone was at the property, which they weren’t. When someone turned up, he didn’t have a clue and couldn’t check me in. He made me wait in a tiny kitchen while he phoned someone, who could eventually check me in. Then they wouldn’t take a card payment. Luckily, I had £50 on me, but they had no change, so overcharged me by £2.00 which I never got back. The room was fine once I finally got to it, but it should not take over half an hour to check into a pretty ropey property. It’s unprofessional and bad for the image of the website. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

Tatty room in a shared house
The room was in another house around the corner. So its nothing like a lodge. The accommodation was clean but very tacky. The room had a glazed door with a flamingo shower curtain hanging on the inside and you have to force it open because it rubs on the floor . The window curtains are designed for a curtain pole but it has swish curtain tracks so they pined them on with what looks like large paper clips. The tv is so small that anything written cant be read nuless you are sitting on the end of the bed. The only thing good i can say is that the shared kitchen and bathroom were clean.

Failed to meet expectation, over priced & noisy !
Location: Not really the best for the cost Cost: Better to stick with Premier Inn or Travel Lodge since the cost is almost same and also they have better facilities, privacy, located at location better amenities, on existent noise issue Issues: There was constant use of microwave oven few times between 2 to 3am and disrupted my sleep and woke up next day with only about 1 to hours of sleep. I have a strong feeling the person who used it was non other than the host himself ! Do I recommend ? No: The cost does not justify what is expected. This is more like a hostel where but more expensive and a bit of privacy other than that it is jus a accommodation that is overpriced that fails to meet the expectation. I paid £31.49 for one night and for this I could have easily got Premier Inn or Travel Lodge. Yes: If you are okay with the noise. In conclusion, I would definitely have not rated this place so low had it not been for the noise and the price I paid. So I do strongly recommend that you avoid this place because the alternative budget hotels such as Premier Inn or Travel Lodge is the best way to go.

I stayed in many budget hotels recently but this one managed to be the worst place I have ever stayed, except the one in Dakar Senegal. I couldn’t wait to get out

Police checked this house
Hotel has no parking and this is not specified on hotels. You can park in a public parking on the street but is not safe there. Room was very small and door is not closing only if you turn the key. During the night you hear a lot of bits from the wall and woke me up time to time. Also at 22:00 time came there 2 police officers with representative of the council and checked all rooms and told that this house should not appear on hotels. Bed was very very unconfortable.

Cleanliness was very poor. Woke up from the bed with white lint all over our bodies. The furniture in the room were all broken down. Paper thin walls and everything can be heard from other rooms and the hallways.

Great little place, slightly out of the way for London but really good transport links. Beds were super comfy, room needs updating as a plug socket was coming away from the wall. The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything was clean which the most important thing for me
