Don't expect too much
A very cheap and cheerful hotel that could do with some freshening up and a bit of maintenance. A bit grubby around the corners and probably needs a coat of paint. Breakfast is toast or cereal.

Room was okay, dusty in places, bathroom was like a touring caravan wwtroom with drain in middle of floor and a hard bed but slept well. Breakfast is cereal, toast with help yourself preserve, jam, marmalade etc, tea/coffee and orange juice. It was only for one night, as soon as arrived we went out, not returning till 11.30pm and was out again by 9.45am after breakfast. For 1 night you couldn't complain, was only to rest your head.

Do not use!
We didn't stay. Alrhough we did not expect luxury, we did not expect the filth that met us! It was an absolute disgrace. The person on reception did offer a change of rooms to their sister hotel, next door, this was slighzly cleaner but in no way acceptable.

Hell on Earth
Arrived to be given a basement room which was disgusting. Dust everywhere and carpet hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Then we went to look at the en suite bathroom...wow. i wouldnt allow an animal to wash in there....filthy!!! After highlighting the state we were given another room in the next hotel along and although it was slightly better, still dust and hadn't been hoovered. It is an insult to charge over £100 per night to stay here....the place needs a power wash. If there is any organisation that is supposed to check hotels....i would visit asap as someone is going to get sick staying here.

The receptionist was quite abrupt when we arrived not very welcoming. The place was dirty and very dated the bed had hole in. The quilt l had cigarette burns in.When we vacated the premises and handed in our key the receptionist was asleep on a quilt on the floor which I thought was very unprofessional. There was a sign saying don’t leave any valuables in your room? Why? Was it not secure? Will not be returning and would not recommend.

The hotel is in a good location within walking distance of main line rail and underground stations as well as several museums. Staff were friendly and check in was very straightforward. Our room was a reasonable size and the bed was clean and quite comfortable. However, the en-suite was very small and accessed by a very high step which caused some problems. The shower head support was broken meaning that you had to hold the shower. The paintwork in the room was very shabby, faded and marked and there was a significant amount of dust behind the bed side tables and along some of the skirting boards and on the carpet in the corners. Wires and other lumps and bumps could be felt under the carpet. The TV screen and remote control were covered in sticky marks. Breakfast consisted of DIY tea/coffee, apple juice, cheap cereal and even cheaper bread for DIY toast. Other than that it was lovely!

They need major upgrades on this property. The bathroom was a camp trailer bathroom. The sheets did not look clean and the carpets did not look clean so we kept our shoes on the whole time. There was a younger gentleman that just did not seem inviting when we came in or asked for extra towels since we had 3 people in the room. The lady that initially checked us in was very nice and accommodating. She removed the Wi-Fi day charge for us.

OK for a night!
It was fine for 1 night as a solo guest. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Just needed somewhere to shower and sleep after a night out. Room could have been cleaner, hair on the floor of the shower and the walls of the room could really use a wipe down/repainting. Breakfast wasn't great, just a choice of cereal & toast, nothing else! That said, I'd still use again if I needed to stay in that area, good price for August!

I wasn’t happy with the hotel. The area was nice by the train station, but the condition of the hotel needs to be remodeled all over again it’s a old hotel with a small bathroom when I barely can take a shower and the bed needs to be remodeled, look like it has bedbugs. I hope I didn’t bring back bedbugs with me.

The room was very small, bathroom extremely small. The hotel is located on same street as a hospital so it's loud outside most evenings and the room got very hot, difficult to sleep at night. It's walkable to 2 train stations. It's a convenient location but not the most comfortable sleeping conditions

The breakfast was stated as continental. It was not. There was a choice of 4 cereals that was ok. You could have either brown or white bread for toast. There was jam sachets. On three mornings there was cheese slices as well . no cold meats or fruit on offer. We were the first into breakfast most of the time and the water was not hot to have a drink.
