Had a lovely stay! The place was very clean and easily accessible by taxi. A bonus is that there’s a McDonald’s right next door—perfect for a quick bite if you’re in a rush. Do note that in the evenings, it can get a bit lively with people singing or playing music loudly. It didn’t bother me, but if you’re sensitive to noise, it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, a great stay!

A really nice place, has everything you need on a budget. Like most London budget hotels I’m finding it had noisy residents. I was kept awake until 4am by shouting and doors banging.

One of the worst hotel rooms I have seen
This was one of the worst hotel rooms I have ever been in. The bed looked unclean, and the bathroom had a horrible smell. The environment was noisy, with doors banging all night. There was a shower in the private bathroom but no toilet. You have to go to a public bathroom in the hall, which increases the noise. Stay out of this property if you can afford it anywhere else in the city.

The property and staff was excellent. Our triple room was very clean and updated. Nice bathroom. Perfect for the two nights we were there. With the exception of a McDonalds next door there was limited dining open in the areas.

Warm welcome
Warm welcome, room exceptionally clean. Very hot day so we had windows open and fan on all night! Hotel is near road but we had a few drinks and slept like logs! Lovely little guest house.

A charming little hotel that offers great value for a stay in the area. The staff is wonderful, and the hotel is clean. My only issue was that my single room had a shower but no toilet, as the restroom was shared in the hallway, which I found inconvenient. Everything else was satisfactory.
