Guest Reviews
- Nicole (10/5): -
- Bekina (8/5): -
- Elena (10/5): - Very good Very good I like
- Papużyńska (5/5): Jakość do ceny w porządku - Największą perełką hotelu jest Pani Ania, która zawsze sprawiała, żeby każdy nasz dzień był ja najprzyjemniejszy. Jej cudowna i przemiła aura jest dla nas najlepszym wspomnieniem!
Śniadania były naprawdę pyszne:) Nie do końca czyste pokoje i słychać ulice przez nieszczelne okna
- Navraj (1/5): Never stay here again - It has a tesla charger and a locked car park. Tiny room very stuffy wifi didnt work shower takes 3 minutes to come on so you turn the tap and you wait. The pressure was low. The toilet was stained and dirty.
- Adeyemi (6/5): -
- Mikuckas (2/5): -
- Sanford (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Muhammad Minhas (7/5): -
- Burt (4/5): - We liked the room, the beds were very comfortable. Finding on arrival the only option for parking was at the hotel and that had an extra charge of £10 per night. The shower in room had no hot water it was cold, it was late in night and the man on desk was annoyed saying turn it off and on again. I complained again in morning, we were offered to go to another room to shower but that was not suitable for partner who uses a wheelchair. We expected water issue to be fixed when room was serviced in day, but was not, it was still running cold when we tried again on return in the night. 2 nigjt stay without hot water unacceptable.
- Inmaculada (7/5): -
- Malwina (2/5): Disappointed - Enclosed car park Cold water in the shower/smell of cigarettes in the room fan and open window didn’t help towels seemed old/ road noise couldn’t sleep
- Sreekantan (10/5): -
- NORMAN (8/5): -
- Sanjida (7/5): -
- Sen (9/5): - All good thanks All good thanks
- alain thierry (1/5): Worse - Very dirty Everything
- Denise (6/5): - lo staff gentilissimo che ha accolto ogni mia richiesta non era molto pulito, c’era polvere e lo scarico non funzionava bene, soprattuto dopo aver fatto la doccia
- Shpresim (2/5): -
- Gautam Swaminathan (8/5): Solid option to just stay for a night or two. - Great location, lot of cute cafes and restaurants near by to go eat at. Very close to the bus stop so super convenient if you have kids or a lot of bags. Some guests were a little loud and having arguments with the receptionist which dampened our experience a little since we were staying on the first floor.
- Valentine (6/5): Agréable pour dormir 2/3 nuits, le seul reproche est vraiment l'odeur de cigarette mais c'est toC'un - La chambre était confortable pour une seule personne. Conforme à la description. Le personnel était très aimable et gentil. Sauf un le soir qui était un peu moins souriant et qui ne parlait pas très bien anglais donc c'était difficile de communiquer. À part lui le reste du personnel était vraiment adorable. le seul problème c'est que ça sentait énormément la cigarette dans ma chambre et que la fenêtre ne s'ouvrait pas donc je n'ai pas pu aérer.
- Joycelyn (10/5): -
- Meg (8/5): -
- Anyhony (10/5): Staff very helpfull overall great stay see you next year. - Comfy rooms and very clean. Great location! On sight parking and a free EV charger.
- Haroon (2/5): Wouldn’t do it again/ don’t trust booking.com - Location was okay There was a active crime scene investigation going on at the hotel on the first floor so it was impossible to avoid
- Daisy (7/5): -
- Adam (9/5): Great comfort for the price with easy transport options nearby - Ceiling fan during the warmest April was very much appreciated, staff were lovely, location is right opposite a bus stop that heads up to Blackhorse Road station just a few mins away. Beds comfy, very soft. Firm pillows too, just how I like. No complaints. -
- ramune (6/5): Price reflects the comfort - Friendly and helpful staff. Clean. Parking on site. The rooms were basic, not the most comfortable beds, but as expected for the price.
- Gifty (9/5): -
- Edwina (1/5): Never back there! - Unfortunately just the receptionist was nice. Bugs, dust everywhere, toilet not cleaned, bed sheets dirty…
- Md Tahmed Hasan (10/5): -
- Dani7dl (8/5): Simples, mas acolhedor e ótimo staff - Gostámos, sobretudo, da simpatia e disponibilidade dos funcionários. Extremamente prestáveis. Até nos deixaram fazer o check-in antes, que deu imenso jeito por causa da bagagem. O WC era um pouco antiquado e muito pequeno e não tinha superfície para produtos ou caixote do lixo no mesmo. Mas isso são pormenores, porque na limpeza, que é o mais importante, estava ótimo.
- Kehinde (7/5): Worth the money! - good bed/mattress, spacious for a family of four.
wardrobe, kettle, comfy sofa, fan, air conditioner. Very Nice! Previous users' hair on beddings, pillow cases not neat, might pay attention to cleaning/neatness.
Low-pressure water takes longer time when water is needed
- Terri-Ann (6/5): - Good location. Staff helpful and pleasant. Secure onsite parking. Good breakfast Dusty floor, very low water pressure in shower. Noisy main road. Only kne pillow
- sarah (4/5): Amenities not up to standard, but staff very good - The staff were really great. Were very smiley and kind, helpful when we asked questions. They were trustworthy and I was very impressed with them.
£10 for parking was a good deal, lucky there was a space there to reserve as I called at 9:30am on the day of arrival. The corridors smelt very strongly of cigarette smoke and marijuana.
Our bedroom smelt terribly of smoke (despite being a non-smoking room) and it made our clothes and belongings smell.
The dial on the shower broke off in my hand so I couldn’t turn it off!
The bedspread had residual blood stains on it.
The fan didn’t work as the batteries must have run out, but the remote control was nailed into the wall.
The window didn’t seal shut properly so the sound from the road was very loud all night and made it hard to sleep.
Bed and pillows were poor quality and not comfortable to sleep on.
- Ethan (7/5): -
- Grant (10/5): - Clean comfy quiet the staff extremely friendly and helpful
- Raúl (7/5): -
- Wilkin (7/5): -
- Tommy (10/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): Amazing staff - Close to everything friendly staff reception amazing
Also on my return lost my ring rung up it had great sentimental value left it with reception and was contacted back the amazing house keeping had found it can not express my thanks enough honest and an amazing example to hotels
If there was a ten star rating you would get it thankyou so so much Nothing
- Sreekantan (10/5): Its was peaceful and calm..amazing staff an members…good hospitality.. - Clam n quiet
- Sanford (10/5): -
- Elio (1/5): Delusione assoluta - Arredo malandato e vecchio
Pulizia scadente
Fornitura biancheria pessima
- Keisha (6/5): - I liked were it was has it was local for me to commute to were i could get to the fridge in the room was clean and shower was very nice and hot.like the fan in the room and ome of the male staff at reception was friendly and very helpful. I didnt like some of the staff attitude one female worker was rude like i was bothering here when askin for simple stuff that should be in the room. When i arrived the room had a funny smell and was dusty i belive floors could be mopped more amd maybe have air freshner it didnt really look like the picture and is more of a bnb then a hotel i just think sheets could be more cleaner and rooms fresher.
- Blackmore (8/5): - Comfortable beds, ceiling fan , kettle
Close to location
Easy to find
- K (3/5): I hope im not gonna use that hotel never anymore - Nothing, was horrible i didn’t know if im sleeping under there bridge or in the hotel room Horrible let sey hotel room, very old discussing small very noisy, not worth it even for 20£ a night
- Morgan (3/5): As previous hotelier we were disappointed with overall presentation. We had booked 2nights but did n - Good Breakfast
Shame about the dinning room lacked atmosphere,could do with a little TLC Room cold on arrival had to request heating be turned on
Toilet radiator had to clean due to urine splash
Bed was presented well, the sheets were shoddy and bed not presented to hotel standards
- Florenc (8/5): -
- Jones (7/5): -
- Caroline (9/5): Did the job. - Welcoming staff.
Secure, off-road and gated parking (£10 fee chargeable).
Breakfast was good. Thin pillows, and only two. Probably could have asked for more but I didnt!
Bed was against the wall.
- Steven (7/5): Comfortable and welcoming staff - Very good The only fault we could find wrong was kettle was broken and no picture on tv but we only stayed one night
- ADERONKE (10/5): -
- Jenna (6/5): Reasonable, decently priced and located place to stay - Didn't make it down for breakfast but the room was sufficient. Good to have a fridge and tea/coffee facilities in room. Quiet and comfortable. A decent, reasonably priced place to stay. Tap water in the room stated it wasn't drinking water. Great to have a big ceiling fan but it gave almost a strobe effect when the lights were on.
- Uthayan (8/5): -
- Guido (10/5): - Riservatezza e disponibilità
- Tarun (10/5): - Lokalizacja
- Finley (8/5): Friendly, efficient and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable room. - It was easy to get to and it was secure It was on a very busy , noisy main road
- Risto (8/5): -
- Mandache (8/5): -
- petros (8/5): Good all around - Good staff and helpful Rooms
- Ross (9/5): - The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The rooms are always clean.

- jose (8/5): -
- Sadie (8/5): -
- sazan (10/5): -
- Mandache (10/5): -
- Eva (5/5): - La proximidad al lugar donde teníamos que ir Aunque nos alojamos dos noches, no se hizo limpieza de la habitación.
La habitación no dispone de mesitas de noche y el armario, muy insuficiente, no tenía perchas
La silla estaba llena de manchas
- Stefanie (5/5): Für wirklich nur zum schlafen passend. - Der Check-in zu später Stunde war super. Das nötigste ist vorhanden. Es ist sehr hellhörig, die Betten recht hart.
- Edmund (7/5): -
- Omid (3/5): - the bed was comfortable Very loud and busy hotel, guests slamming doors, could hear everything above. I didn't sleep well I think I managed 3 hours at best.
- Ronan (5/5): -
- leksil2026 (10/5): Best place - Best hotel I visited so far. Front desk lady Jas was very helpful. Must come
- Sonia (10/5): - Everything was ok The beds are a bit small
- Holly (7/5): - Would have liked more pillows
- Jones (6/5): -
- Mohammed (10/5): Excellent - I liked the shower's consistent temperature, the beds were extremely comfortable. There was a lot of space. The Asian at the desk was helpful and especially the employee Ramon. Would come again because of their service and my experience here. No wonder the Queen came here. I liked how the TV came with many apps so it kind of felt like home. I could not fault it.
- Mamadou (7/5): - Bien situé pas très loin du métro. Quartier calme et personnel disponible Le chauffage ne fonctionnait que par intermittence. Matériels assez vieux et bruyant
- X6865XCshaunl (10/5): Very happy overall - Arrived Saturday checked out Sunday
Stayed in twin Room 5 overlooking carpark, slept well, hotel was very clean and comfortable, breakfast was nice and good quality.
Staff very friendly, polite and helpful.
Would definitely stay again.
- Halil (10/5): -
- Petrenchi (10/5): -
- Gordon (9/5): -
- Aga (5/5): -
- Kate (6/5): A functional stay for a reasonable price - Felt safe once inside the hotel, decent shower, and price not too bad as London prices go. Room was better than I thought it would be given the outside of the hotel, bed was comfy, and shower was decent. Didn't have breakfast but again seemed functional, if a little random selection-wise. Outside of hotel needs a bit of love, and the location isn't the nicest. Facilities like fan, bathroom were functioning but quite bare and minimal. Room also quite hot even in October and very noisy even with windows closed. The tap water was not drinkable which was odd - unsure if this was just to get you to buy water bottles from them.
- Stelian (10/5): -
- Bethany (10/5): A very comfortable stay for a reasonable price. Thank you! - The staff were friendly and helpful.
The room was very nice and spacious. It was well decorated and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was also very tasty. And its location is ideal with an Asda express across the road and plenty of bus stops nearby which was helpful for getting around. There wasn’t really anything we didn’t like.
- Paul (7/5): -
- Milly (6/5): -
- Anna (1/5): - Szczury biegały po hotelu
- Jenna (7/5): - The sink in the bathroom was extremely slow to drain, other than that, can't complain.
- Stelian (10/5): -
- barry (7/5): Very good - Staff were helpful and knew there stuff a little on the noisy side but that’s due to the type of building/property
- Samuel (6/5): -
- George (10/5): -
- Kathryn (10/5): Pleasantly surprised - The fact that it was a separate room within it was great idea. 24 hour reception was great staff always on hand. Also really appriciate the secure parking There was a bit of noise with the flap of the extractor fan but wasn't so detrimental I couldn't sleep
- Paul (6/5): -
- Sri (1/5): -
- Ionut (10/5): -
- Jaspreet (10/5): -
- Patrik (9/5): Great value for money. Its little older but everything is clean which is the most important for me. Great value for mone - Clean Old furniture
