Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property was in a good area and accessible to the place we wanted to get to and from. The interior of the property is very dated, which didn't bother us, but the room was very small for 3 people, and the bathroom was extremely small. The pictures online of the rooms dont show how dated and small it all is. The room was so warm as well and had no ventilation, really. Cleanliness of the room is also very basic. Not sure we would re-book this hotel again.

Reasonable stay

Good stay for the price. Can understand previous feedback but we found this to be a reasonable stay for the money. Room wasn’t great but had all the amenities we needed prior to getting a train the following day.

This place was a mess. Surprised it's on Expedia. First, they charge for Wifi, 2.5L per day. The bathrooms are coverted closets literally, can barely move. Breakfast is a joke-stale cereal, some bread and instant coffee. Room key doesn;t work for the front door half the time.

Be aware!!!

If you are in a budget, this place maybe an option, but I don’t recommend this place to stay, is pretty close from Russell Station(opens at 5:30am becareful), but if you go in summer time be ready to suffer with the head on the rooms, specially the ones on the basement. Please think twice and spend 100$ for something better!

I am very careful about writing negative reviews but what was evident from this property is that the owner only cared about providing the bare minimum or less. You simply cannot make a ‘wardrobe’ from various scrap pieces of wood and a botch it together with 100 screws and think that is acceptable. The carpets were dirty throughout and varied as you walked in colour and pattern. Myself and my son decided within 1 minute we just could not stay there. As per your policy you have kept one nights stay as a charge. That’s ok. Please improve.

Tiny little room, with a miniscule washroom; not the comfiest bed ever, but OK. I arrived early, well before check-in time, but they were very good about cleaning it and letting me in early. Ideally placed for travel from St Pancras; on transit routes for getting around.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were friendly and helpful. My room was on the second floor and two doors down from reception. There was no lift which was a problem for me but staff did help with luggage. There was a deep step up into the bathroom which wasn't clear in the booking information. My room had tea making facilities but no milk. Breakfast was included but this was very basic - a couple of choices of cereal and a loaf of bread to make your own toast
