I stayed at a single room. Although the room was tiny, it was perfect for my 2 night stay. The bathrooms seemed to be recently renovated and very clean. The bedroom was also clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was only cerial and toast, but it was something and saved me the time and extra money to look for one elsewhere. Overall, nice hotel for the money and the location!

The staff at this hotel were amazing. They were friendly and so helpful, BUT this hotel is dated and the twin room I was in was very small, as in I just had a few feet on one side of the bed. The location was good and I felt safe and was walkable to the sites I wanted to visti.

The breakfast is extremely basic and low quality. Do start your day with the coffee at this place. The housekeeping is very poorly done. They don't even empty the trash bins in the room. They didn't even clean the toilet once during our 5-day stay. They shot down the heating so if you feel cold you have to ask the receptionist to turn it on and then you can control it in your room. The rooms are very small and if you have luggage then you will be in trouble. If you can pay slightly more better to go for other options in the neighborhood. My only motivation to book this room was the location and I was at the hotel only for sleeping.

Simple Budget Friendly - does the important stuff

This is a simple budget friendly hotel. I paid GBP70 for a one night stay. The room was small but very clean, the shower was hot, the bed was comfy and the room was a comfortable temperature. I did not need a desk to work at so that was not an issue. For a one night crash over it was more than adequate. Breakfast was very very simple. Just toast and jam, coffee and juice from concentrate. But given a lot of hotels at this price point would not include anything its was welcome and saved me feeling starving hungry as I walked out the door. There was a night manager on overnight so my extremely late check in was accommodated and he was polite and friendly. Check out was very rapid. All in all very satisfied for what it is. An amazing location with easy access to the nearby Victoria station. No frills but the basics done well.

Hotel location is fine, about 5 minutes to Victoria station. the room was too small and the heater was so hot, we sweat all night, please if you read this comment try to lower the temperature or have some kind of thermostat that can adjust it. Thanks
