• Amy (10/5): - Comfy bed lovely sleep room clean Nothing
• Mohammad Omar (1/5): -

• stefano (2/5): -
• Maximilian (1/5): Wir haben es nicht länger als eine Nacht ausgehalten. - Es gibt nichts positives zu der Unterkunft zu berichten. Die Lage ist grausam, extrem laut und dreckig. Das Zimmer im Erdgeschoss direkt an der Straße ist hellhörig, Möbel kaputt, stinkt extrem und zudem waren die schränke voll mit Verpackungen für Dr*gen. Auf dem Boden hinter dem Schrank war alles voller Stummel (Zigaretten und jo*nts). Die Badezimmer waren muffig und kaputt. Küche unbrauchbar
• Mara (4/5): Imagine staying over a single dads spare room. - There was heating, so room was nice hot and looked clean. Location is super close to Central London. Price is equal to what you get. -No one was there to see as in, so we had a note on a different door to call a number which was not available, so lucky I had WhatsApp and confirmed that we have different room numbers. - Pillows were super thin, bed was loud every time you would turn. Only wall sockets, no towels for shower, no spoons to make coffee. House was left down and you could hear everything around you and someone tried to enter our room by a mistake by some reason!

• Camale (1/5): A fuir - La chose que nous avons aimé, c’est quand nous sommes partis de cet endroit Tout, nous n’avons pas pu rester dans ce guest house (tellement désastreux à tous les niveaux)
• Tawan (1/5): Pior experiência da minha vida - Não existe nenhum ponto positivo para o local. PÉSSIMO EM TODOS OS ASPECTOS POSSÍVEIS. Esse local não pode ser habilitado para locação, vocês estão perdendo muitos pontos. Eu não tenho nem palavras pra descrever o descontentamento que tive com esse local, sem dúvida nenhuma a PIOR EXPERIÊNCIA da minha vida em serviços de hospedagem. Tudo começa com a confirmação de reserva, logo depois de reservar o local que promete café da manhã (mas estrega 2 potes de um cereal murcho e com restos de algo...que devem estar la a um bom tempo) e uma geladeira vazia ou com itens aleatórios (manteiga usada, leite vazio etc...) que algum outro hóspede frustrado deixou la e esta esperando ser descartado em alguma limpeza que não ocorre com frequência (se é que acontece pois não vi nenhuma. Quando digo que NÃO HÁ LIMPEZA, não é exagero (vide fotos) tive o desprazer de ficar no local 3 dias, que pareceram semanas dada a desordem e agonia de acabar logo... E em nenhum dos dias encostaram no lixo do banheiro e áreas comuns, o banheiro é um conto de terror a parte, na minha chegada ja havia banheira quase que entopida e mesmo comigo tirando tufos e mais tufos de cabelo e restos de vai saber oque dos ralos... Permaneceu sendo usado de forma porca nos demais dias... Com mais acumulo (sei que isso não é culpa do anfitrião, mas se acontecesse o mínimo de empenho dele em manter um local no minimamente habitável a situação poderia mudar pelo exemplo ou quem sabe placas? Ou quem sabe uma coleta descente?) O cheiro é de mofo no geral. Estranhamente a roupa de cama era limpa, coisa que nos deixou chocados ja que nem toalhas oferecem a não ser uma toalha de rosto vermelha que estava PODRE e ficava jogada nos cantos do banheiro. Ênfase tambem no lixo do banheiro cheio quase até a tampa e assim permaneceu sendo empurrado e na porta do local com uma pilha de lixo por pelo menos 2 dias. Papel higiênico? Molhado e com um rolo que andava pra la e pra ca cada dia que ia me banhar, amarelado. Um número aleatório te chama no WhatsApp para pedir documento e dar as instruções iniciais de como entrar no local.
• Gert (2/5): Dirty london - Locatie naar openbaar vervoer Binnen in de accomodatie viel alles 'vies' tegen. Geen duidelijke gebruikersinformatie over guesthouse digitaal ontvangen, of schriftelijk ter plaatse. Kamer niet hygienisch. Rooklucht in het trapoenhuis. Badkamer en keuken niet onderhouden. Welk ontbijt? Schimmelproducten in de koelkast. Slaapplek deed me terugdenken aan Khao San Road, Bangkok destijds.
• Adewale (1/5): I did not use 20mins because it was so dirty and filthy and can’t even seat on the chair the bed sheet was dirty - Dirty and unkept and smelling the toilet was dirty and no privacy Dirty and unkept and smelling the toilet was dirty and the bed sheet was dirty

• Conor (1/5): NEVER AGAIN. - Location only - close to my office at Bank. NO HEATING ON!! if was bloody freezing. Bedroom window twisted so let in cold air & very noisey, not double glazed. The bathroom was disgusting. No shower above bath, just a pathetic rubber shower pipe on bath taps. It was soo crap that I didn't shower or bath. I just used the toilet & sink to brush my teeth. Holes everywhere, for rodents to roam!!
• tatiana (1/5): -
• Soares (1/5): -
• Godfred (3/5): - The bed is not good Toilet is not good
• Rayhan (1/5): En esta habitación muy muy muy mal. - City budget guesthouse es una habitación muy mal, no está limpieza,. Yo vi booking.com, y reservar para 7 dias pero como yo vi en online así no esta habitación es muy mal, no limpieza nada, ellos todo cosa hablar mentira. Ellos muy muy muy mal. No cualquier cosa mejor está habitación .
• Claire (1/5): - So dirty Freezing cold Breakfast included are you joking no sugar for tea. Some forosties How can a place be so dirty Stayed in alot of places but this place. Please
• Ysabel (1/5): -
• Alfred (7/5): -
• Alicia (1/5): Muy malas instalaciones - Nada Paredes llenas de mocos, sabanas sucias, olia fatal, baño asqueroso. No se pudo contactar con el anfitrion. Basura en la puerta de la habitación
• Leah (1/5): Didn’t even end up staying there walked into the room and booked another hotel it was that bad. - Nothing. Didn’t even end up staying there. It smelt of smoke and dirt. Everything.
• Balboul (6/5): -
• Md Saidur (2/5): -
• Amal (9/5): - Calm and quiet Everything is alright
• Louise (3/5): - There were no towels, I had to go out and buy one.
• Enrique (1/5): The worst of the worst - All rooms and hallways are dirty and smell icky. It's literally just a house. A budget house/hostal, it's true, you are gonna save money if you reserve here, but the experience is not worth it in my honest opinion. Also very misleading; the pictures make it seem way nicer than what you will encounter, and the ad says there is breakfast included, only to later find out the so called "breakfast" is just whatever rotten food scraps you find in the kitchen (which is very unpleasantly dirty as well), with the host (a mysterious one since I never got to meet them, they just gave me number to enter the lock outside) telling me to grab whatever I want (as if there is anything at all to eat). Bathroom is incredibly disgusting, it seems they probably only clean it once a week, but since people are coming in and out you will find it all moist and dirty from the constant showers. They do NOT supply even one towel for guests. Hot water works great so that is their only saving grace. The area is not so bad, but it is not the most friendly neighbourhood for a tourist. You do not want to come here if you have never stepped foot on London before. There are homeless people at night, young people brawling and thrashing glass botles in the middle of the night, and the house itself is a bit hard to find the first time (not even one sign to indicate that this is the the budget house from booking.com). I suggest all travelers to avoid this place for all reasons above. If you still wanna find out yourself, like I did, just know you were warned. And i really hope the owner reads this and takes better care of their property but i doubt it. NO breakfast. disgusting bathroom Unclean room weird smell
• Salam (9/5): Room was cold otherwise everything it’s ok -
• Kevin (6/5): -
• Matteo (3/5): - Poco nulla Servizi igenici, neanche un asciugamano, neanche un armadio in camera, neanche un cestino in camera
• Md Imran (7/5): -
• Afsana (5/5): Only come here if you need a space to sleep - nothing else - Good location Very poor communication, did not issue the instructions nor correct codes to enter the property. After trying many times with the incorrect code then did something on their end to activate said code. Borderline basic facilities, everything is shared apart from the sleeping space. Narrow staircase and claustrophobic rooms. Only come here if you need a space to sleep - nothing else.
• Culton (1/5): There is No breakfast, Everything is dirty, Noise is horrible. - There is No breakfast, Everything is dirty, Noise is horrible.
• ali (1/5): - There was no breakfast included It's dirty and the bed was definitely not double. Absolutely horrible place
• Xuhua (6/5): 感觉还不错👍 - 位置非常好👍。这个地点是超出价值！
• Hassen (5/5): -
• MICHAEL (2/5): Raté et plus cher que prévu de 155 euros de ma poche - La première nuit fut raté, car nous n'avons pas eu accès à la chambre !! Et prix un hôtel pour suppléer le non accueil. Donc 155 euros de ma poche Pas d'accueil, pas d'accès à la chambre le 1er soir Manque d'hygiène, les draps n'avaient pas été changer.
• Shina (3/5): Overall, the experience was poor, and we wouldn’t recommend staying here. - Nothing We had a very uncomfortable stay at this guesthouse. From the moment we arrived, we didn’t feel safe — the overall atmosphere was unsettling, and the area felt scary, especially at night. There were no staff on site, and even when we tried calling, no one answered. Breakfast wasn’t included, which was disappointing, and the room itself was not very clean. The lamp in our room was flickering with barely any light, making it feel even more unwelcoming. The stairs were extremely narrow, making it difficult to carry our luggage up to the room.
• Natálie (7/5): Levné ubytování v dobré klidné lokalitě. Na přespání postačující. Malý útulný pokoj, sdilená koupelna se záchodem a vano - Levné, poloha nedaleko metra, MHD, vlaků. Útulný malý pokoj. Kuchyňka s veškerým vybavením. Hodně tvrdá matrace, v noci je zima nedalo se zapnout topení. Hodně slabé zdi, je slyšet úplně vše z chodby i z venku. Snídaně.
• Jure (1/5): - Nista Miris,nema dorucka,sporko
• Melanie (9/5): -
• Viktoriia (10/5): -
• Nicolas (1/5): - Rien c’était pas propre, les toilettes étaient sale et la douche aussi, il y a sept chambre pour une douche et deux toilette autant dire que très difficile d’accès car tout le monde l’utilise
• Denys Antonio (5/5): -
• gaviria (1/5): - Los baños terribles y no hablar de los sillones de la habitación manchados de toda clase de mierda
• sandrine (3/5): - L emplacement par rapport aux transports en communs. La facilité d acceder a la chambre malgré une heure tardive d arrivée La saleté au niveau de la cuisine qui est collective. Nous ne nous y sommes pas risqué. L absence de petit dejeuner comme annoncé (plusieurs boites de céréales ouvertes dans la cuisine !) Le sol collant dans les toilettes et l absence d hygiene dans toilettes et la douche. Les courants d air dans la chambre avec des fenetres simple vitrage mal isolé. Toutes les taches sur la moquette des escaliers. Forte odeur de marijuana

• Md (1/5): I just want to say it’s fucking shit say something and do something - It’s a horrible guest house Nothing at all. They shown you something and give you different room. It’s too old house and everywhere is a bad smell on this property. I bring my baby and then I request to them change my room but they don’t want it. It’s a very very bad shit.
• Imran (1/5): -
• Safiullah Abdullahi (1/5): I booked my hotel for breakfast included but this one didn't serve nor towels available to get bath - Not the same room as booked. So small. Not table no sofas No towels, no breakfast which they said it is included.
• Mariana (10/5): We are happy about the place overall ☺️ - The property is perfect located. The cost was great as well. There was quiet inside and we liked this place. I think the kettle need to change in the kitchen☺️
• Paulo Ricardo (8/5): -
• Ahmed (3/5): -
• Sourabh (1/5): **Terrible experience!** Waited 40 mins outside with no response, the room was filthy, mouldy, full of bugs, and unsa - Nothing WARNING – DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE! This was one of the worst and most stressful experiences I’ve ever had while traveling. I waited 40 minutes outside on the street with my luggage because the property manager completely ignored 16 calls and WhatsApp messages. I had to call Booking.com and wait another 15 minutes just to get check-in details. When I finally entered at 9:56 PM, I left by 10:01 PM — that’s how bad it was. The house was filthy, smelly, full of mould, and the bed had bugs. The curtains and walls were mouldy, and the mirror was broken. It was completely unsafe and unhygienic to stay even for a night. The manager only offered “cleaning or another room” the next day, which made no sense. I reported everything with photos and videos to Booking.com, and their agent initially promised a full refund, but it’s been weeks and I’ve received nothing. The property lied multiple times and Booking.com didn’t take any real action. I feel cheated and disrespected. Please don’t waste your money or risk your health — avoid this property at all costs!
• Daniela (3/5): - Che la guest house avesse un codice di entrata per cui non vi era un coprifuoco da rispettare Molto molto sporca , bagno in condivisione in condizioni pessime e sempre macchiato di urina e feci ..nelle scale un odore nauseante di sigarette e fritto cucina untissima mai utilizzata
• Gary (3/5): - Good location. Bad experience ever. No towels for showering. Gas stoves not working. Without massaging they don't activate radiator. No clean bedsheets. I give 1 out of 5.
• Lisa (1/5): horror - nichts, dreckige Bettwäsche, Toilette und Dusche auf dem Flur und dreckig. Keine Handtücher.
• Sakharuk (10/5): -
• MIah (4/5): -
• ghebbache (5/5): Passable - Le calme et la proximité des magasins et transports Le froid dans la chambre, le chauffage ne fonctionnait pas du tout pendant la nuit. Manque quelques produits à la cuisine pour preparer le petit dejeuner

• Iulia cristina (9/5): -
• Kumar (7/5): -
• Louie (3/5): -
• Caroline (1/5): Dormez dehors plutôt que là ! - Rien franchement rien, même l'emplacement qui est idéal est entaché par l'expérience nullissime de cet "hôtel". J'aurais préféré être plus excentrée mais loger dans de meilleures conditions ! La saleté, l'établissement est vétuste et presque insalubre. La chambre est minuscule, les seuls équipements, miroirs et fenêtre sont cassés. Le lieu est mal isolé contre le bruit et surtout le froid. Nous avons très mal dormi tant la litterie est inconfortable ! Nous avons des douleurs au dos et dans le cou ! Nous avons payé pour un petit déjeuner qui n'existe pas. Il fallait se servir dans la cuisine dégoûtante des aliments présents depuis des mois voire des années. La salle de bain était dégoûtante également, le sol est collant, une brosse à dent et un savon recouvert de poils traînent dans les coins et aucune serviette n'a été fournie. Le Wi-Fi ne fonctionne pas, du moins le code fourni n'est pas le bon... les escaliers sont très étroits et nous avons manqué de tomber plus d'une fois!
