I stayed here and all I can say is this: the room is comfortable, nothing spectacular. The worst thing is sharing the bathroom. In the mornings and evenings, I had to wait and watch for people coming out of the bathroom so I could do my business and shower. The good thing is that it's centrally located and has an excellent 24-hour bus and trains service.

Skip this place for sure

We were lucky to get into this place on the first day. It took us half an hour walking around just to find it. It’s a small glass door right next to a market. The door was locked. The phone number listed wasn’t able to guide us to where it is and said someone would call us in the morning. What were we supposed to do for that night? We got lucky and one of the “staff” walked by and saw us and let us in. This is basically a hostel with separate rooms. There is one shared kitchen for all floors and one shared bathroom per floor. I have dietary restrictions so I got it for the kitchen but when I asked for a pan so I could cook my chicken they said I couldn’t cook anything because of the smell. When I asked about laundry at 7:00 pm they said it would have to wait until morning because people may be sleeping and the machine is loud. I booked it for a week before I knew and we only stayed 2 nights and had to blow money on other hotels. It’s close to the Tower of London but otherwise not in a very pretty or interesting neighborhood. No way this place has an average score of 7 unless their friends are leaving the reviews. The staff was nice enough though they barely spoke English and walked around in sweats and a t shirt. Not really a professional hotel. Like I said, should be listed as a hostel and not a great one at that.

The room was quite large with a TV and a very comfortable bed. There is a communal kitchen with tea and coffee. I felt very safe there. On the bad side people were coming in at midnight and were closing doors noisily. There was another floor above and I was woken by the person in that room walking about, so I got little sleep. But it was OK for 1 night.

The staff were friendly and helpful- the room was comfortable and clean as was the separate shower. It ticked the box for a low cost basic overnight stay
