Guest Reviews
- Muhammad (1/5): -
- Levente (1/5): The stay was very disappointing due to the noise, lack of hot water, extremely poor room furnishings - Nothing It was very noisy. Every time someone entered the building, it made so much noise that it woke me up.
There was no hot water. The room was furnished in such a minimal and poor way that even a prison cell might not have been much worse.
The PIN-code access system was also very loud.
The property was located in the middle of a poor neighbourhood, surrounded by very run-down terraced houses, in an area where I certainly would not want to live myself.
- Thomas (3/5): - Location was Next to Excel Exhibition Center Almost no furniture,or lamps no chair No table, a Room that resembles a prison cell.
No Personal.
- Jennifer (4/5): its fine for one night and max two but nothing longer. Wifi poor strenght cannot rely on it - not much No mattress cover, soft squiggy bed, no small side table, not even a mirror had to wait for bathroom to empty to get to a mirror. Shower is old and needs protectant to fight mold. Need mattress cover, not just one sheet, at least have a small mirror on the wall, the main light made you feel you were in a hospital room, Nosy when people enter and close doors, though doors are secure locked. Bathroom very small but for needs is fine.
- Justine (3/5): Une seule nuit heureusement - La proximité de l'aéroport, l'arrivée autonome L incertitude de la réservation liée à un délai de réponse assez important, surtout lorsque les derniers commentaires mentionnent une annulation de dernière minute.
Pas d eau chaude (déjà précisé par de précédents voyageurs)
Les toilettes étaient sales à notre arrivée
- Olumuyiwa (7/5): Good - Location Check out
- Mauricio (5/5): - Hot water wasn’t working couldn’t have a shower
- Haroon (4/5): - It was clean. There was no hot water for a shower and in the welcome email it said there would be essential items available in the kitchen - there was no milk for tea.
- Richard (1/5): - Nothing checked into my room someone else was sleeping in it Booking.com can do nothing about getting me a refund
- Russell (7/5): Good stay, reasonably quiet, good links to London, good value for money - Close the the DLR The bed covers had not been dried enough so smelt a little bit
- Veronica (6/5): - The location Shared toilet and shower didn't get hot
- cdb069ca5c0671ca054a7e0ea76a6b94 (7/5): - Very clean and comfortable No tv and no tea or coffee
- a86238bec506734212ce030f91b42a5d (4/5): Will not be returning. - Location to Excell and the Elizabeth line Door handle in Bathroom came off . upon replacing could see the screws were stripped, and it had been repaired at least once.
No hot water for the first day I was there until evening
no towels provided in WC for drying hands- had to bring my own towel.
Soap in the shower was a thin used bar, and a sponge provided was for dishes.
Security lock on the main door interior was hanging off broken.
No clean bedsheets on bed, and pillows smelled of sweat. I put a t-shirt over them
- Andrew (8/5): warm and cosy - radiator was warm plus had an extra heater
location was quiet and bed comfortable so had a great sleep. Toilet/showroom clean and warm Couldn't get wifi to work but not a big issue as only stayed short time
- Jinzhou (6/5): Good location, good price - Good location, good price Fine
- Alda (5/5): i will not come.back - nothing i like no parking (because im foreigner but they didnt explain, i found out myself), room was smelly to need to open the door to release the smell. i regreted i didnt bring my own sheet, felt dirty. i couldnt know of course but i got ichy. the room is with code, once i locked myself out from the bathroom (panic, bad experience, if i didnt remember i wont.be able to get it; no one to ask help). overall not worthed
- Zukini (2/5): -
- Htun (5/5): Acceptable - The place is near to public transport, buses and train. Relatively quiet except occassional roar of airpolane. Seem to be reasonalby safe. Restaurant and grioceries were at leat half a mile away. There is a bed, a chair and a sideboard. It is not comfortable to stay to attend your business. But I appreciate that it would not be easy to find a place to stay in london with relatively low price.
- Mohamed (5/5): -
- Peter (9/5): -
- Omar (10/5): -
- Peacock (8/5): Perfectly clean, comfortable and convenient. - The price Nothing really, the location was just about okay.
- Maisey (7/5): -
- Kalinda (7/5): I had a great time - It was very convenient It was quiet
- Amen (7/5): Economical - Cheap and comfortable I was little surprised with toilet size and condition. I have to flash out before using it and dustbin was not empty. There is no place of washing soup. I figure out when I was checking out, shower side has a basin but it was too late. lol
- Ruth (1/5): - The property cancelled my booking for Saturday 20th December via email at 12:47 when I was due to book in that afternoon 😠 I was left to find accommodation last minute 😡 I have also been charged 😠 😡
- Katrina (7/5): Good location, - Good location
- Antonella (9/5): Lovely stay - Clean house, nice and quiet environment, not fare from the train station No dinning area, 2 dinning chairs in the kitchen will be fine.
- Basharat (6/5): -
- Azuka (4/5): - The location is great as its close to the train station and close to my destination.
The house is good value for the money spent.
The bed was comfortable and check in was very easy. Whats the point reviewing if no actions will be taken.
1. I paid for the option to park my car yet I got a £80 parking ticket. I messaged the host and I got no response.
2. The bathroom was flooded with water as the shower tray wasnt draining properly.
- Sarvar (10/5): - Nice place
- Ahmed (8/5): -
- océane (8/5): Très bien ! - Très bon rapport qualité/prix et très bon emplacement. Très beau quartier et calme
Accès aux chambres très simple La douche qui débordait :(
- Anna Mojoko (6/5): Not good at all - That is was closer to the bus stop and easy to locate
- Mike (5/5): - The house was just okay, bed was well laid, had pressing iron. I was able to use the fridge, microwave and kettle. Guess the cooker works too, but didn't use it. Towel was provided (though I used mine), had clothe hangers in the wardrobe room was smaller than expected and bathroom on ensuit. Toilet was not clean could be made cleaner (though manageable); hot water was not running in the bathroom upstairs; bathroom downstairs had hot water running, but the drain was bad.
- Brehihi (7/5): - My flight arived early and so I got to hotel by 9:00am. I, however, had to sit outside for hours even though I found out later that my allocated room had been ready before I got there. Thus, I was expecting the manager to consider my distance and the fact I had no other place to lodge till the time for check inn. I had to sit at the bus stop till I was eventually allowed in at about 2:pm
- sarah (9/5): -
- Reiss (4/5): Not great - Very close to the DLR Never got sent the code to open the door, had to ring someone who wasn’t even at the house to send me a text. Bathroom is tiny and leaves you no room to get changed, had to make sure nobody was around so I could dip into my room
- Eszter (6/5): -
- Jeremiah (5/5): -
- Tei (8/5): Good stay - The location is great and I was happy with the accommodation. However, I wasnt sure if I could use the coffee and tea in the kitchen? Would be good if there was some notices about that. Also the password for the internet was not working I didn't like the way water spillled out if the shower room. The showroom needs to be fixed and improved
- Emmanuel (7/5): It was ok - Cleanliness Bathroom ceiling light was not working and water was leaking from the side.
- Stella (2/5): -
- Max (6/5): -
- Saiter (1/5): - Je ne peux pas dire si j'ai aimé ou pas je n' ai pas eu accès à la chambre Impossible d' avoir la chambre a mon arrivée je suis donc partie faire ma presta puis en revenant tjs pas possible d' entrée j'ai donc décaler mon avion plus tôt et je suis rentré chez moi sans dormir
A ce jour j attends un remboursement qui ce fait attendre
- Andrii (2/5): -
- Graham (10/5): Would definitely stay again - Central and had a good night's sleep
- salma (2/5): Londres une belle escapade mais pas cet établissement - La proximité du métro Chambre jamais nettoyé on est rester 5 nuits avec les
Memes serviettes il faut avoir de la chance si quelqu’un passe pour faire le ménage dans les chambres à côté pour lui demander des serviettes propres le lit trop petit pourri les draps jamais changé la chambre ne fait pas plus que 5 m2 la première nuit la chambre a coté ont fait la fête toute
La nuit sans se soucier des autres ça fumait des joints l’odeur insupportable le personnel pas du tout à l’écoute j’ai demander à changer bien que aucune réponse bref un établissement a éviter
- Rostyslav (1/5): -
- Porsewa (6/5): - Zadbane miejsce. Trochę głośno ze względu na cienkie ściany. Wszystko co potrzebne zapewnione. Jedyne co było nieprzyjemne to łazienka, gdzie prysznic w ogóle nie zatrzymywał wodę i wszystko w pomieszczeniu dosłownie pływało. Lokalizacja w porządku, można podjechać pociągiem praktycznie pod lokal.
- Jessica (5/5): -
- Subodh (8/5): -
- Dóri (1/5): - Nem kaptam semmilyen információt a szállással kapcsolatban, így feleslegesen fizettem ki🙂
- Mair (6/5): -
- iris (5/5): - I liked the bed, nice size and clean sheets. The smell, no hot water.
- Abdoulie (5/5): -
- Maria Vittoria (2/5): Good location, but that's about it. - 3 minutes walk from the Royal Victoria Station and 15 minutes from the Excel Arena: our point of interest. A fan and heather are provided. The room smells heavily of smoke, and throughout the night there is constant noise from doors slamming.
The pin-pad lock is loud, and you can hear other tenants entering their codes at all hours. Noise insulation is extremely poor: you can hear the tenant in the upstairs room walking around or doing almost anything, as the floors creak constantly and the walls are very thin, a classic example of bad partitioning.
There is no nightstand provided. The pillows are extremely thin and of very poor quality, offering no neck support at all.
The toilets and showers are dirty, with old rugs and generally unhygienic conditions. The bathroom door handle has fallen off; if you close the door using the latch, you must keep the handle inside, otherwise you may not be able to get out.
No cutlery, plates, or glasses are provided. The kitchen facilities are very poor and poorly equipped.
- RANA (5/5): -
- RANA (5/5): -
- Davide (5/5): Passable for two nights stay - Bathroom was dirty, only one towel was provided for two guests and staff was rude when I asked for another towel on first day of check in. One window was broken.
- Alejandro (5/5): -
- Kathleen (7/5): -
- Connan (4/5): Beautiful Property, But A Few Issues Hindered the Stay - The ease of getting in the property was amazing & the location is perfect, right by a train station (DLR & underground) & right by the o2 cable cars. The bed was uncomfortable, resulting in poor sleep for both occupants, particularly my pregnant partner.
We were consistently unable to access hot or even warm water in the shower facility so we had to wash in the cold.
Our sleep was constantly disturbed by the sound of other guests loudly slamming doors, which happens in hotels but this place echoes is so loudly throughout the property.
- Humphries (5/5): -
- Pratyaksha (8/5): -
- Koro (1/5): Absolutely horrible and unhygienic - Nothing, just that it was near where I needed to be, but not worth it I understand that the price was low and it was a cheap accomodation, but the MINIMUM that you expect is clean sheets. They were obviously not clean, they had stains and smelled like body odor and deodorant, the whole room smelled of cheap deodorant sprayed over a clearly not clean or ventilated room. This is completely unhygienic. It felt like someome had sex there and they didn't change the sheets.
- joao cesar (9/5): Excelente custo/beneficio - Simples e funcional. Comunicação fácil. Informações claras. Local agradável para descansar. Localização excelente para o meu compromisso. Ao lado de estação de trem DLR e ponto de ônibus. No início tive problema com o aquecimento do chuveiro, mas foi resolvido.
- Lambros (1/5): -
- Angelina (4/5): - The location It was incredibly noisy. The walls were paper thin. I could hear someone in the kitchen munching to their evening meal and then their cereal at half 6 in the morning.
- Danielle (5/5): Great location! Would have liked a bit more in the room but suppose for the price you can’t complain - Great location Felt a tad unsafe with all the wiring being exposed
It smelt of cigarettes and damp
- Farah (1/5): Terrible - Nice bathroom and shower All the bedding smelled so bad, the bed was being held up by wooden pieces and creaked a lot and the lampshade fell off the lamp
- Andrius (10/5): -
- Raphael (1/5): Bad - Far for facilities Bed much noise , bathroom unclean, neighbours make much noises
- Fabien (9/5): -
- Asenina83 (4/5): -
- Caitlin (8/5): Great for a night - It was tidy and the room was exactly as described. A fan and heater was provided as well which was a nice addition. The bed was surprisingly comfy which was really good It wasn't that clean, the bathrooms in particular. But not awful by any means. It was a little run down in general but you get what you pay for in London!
- Marta (7/5): Bed was uncomfortable and sheets stank but not tragic - Close to everything The shared bathroom bit it was ok
- Su (8/5): Ok. - Location and fair price. And they do accept one night stay for a fair price. Small kitchen and simple cooking ware very useful. Very quiet. The bed was not changed. So I have to sleep with my coat and hat on. But considering their price and location, it’s ok. Everything else just served my purpose.
- Kairbek (10/5): -
- Nicolas (8/5): -
- MARGARET (2/5): Just not for us - Nithung Obviously I didn’t properly check the place when booked. It was just a bedroom with a double bed on a council estate with a shared toilet and shared shower room. Not for us so we didn’t stay. There were stains on the pillows didn’t feel clean
- Anderson (8/5): -
- prisca larissa (8/5): It was very practical. - It has a great location, served its purpose I have no dislike
- Domínguez García (3/5): Dirty bed sheets and no answer from the host. Disgusting - The bed sheets were dirty (I have pictures to prove it). I sent a message to the owner and never had an answer. I had to put a towel over the dirty side of the bed. Disgusting. I preferred not even have a shower. Never again
- brigid (4/5): Adequate. - Location. 2 minutes from Royal Victoria station. Ideal for Xcel
Bedding was clean. Overall area was not great.
Bathrooms, skirting boards etc need a deep clean. Replace bath mats. Need glasses etc.
some milk sachets would have been appreciated.
- Olumide (10/5): Relaxing experience need a break.... - The Location was very good and just 100 metres to the Train Station which was my biggest surprise
quiet neighbourhood and the Bed was very good tooo
- Ngozi (3/5): The room (room 5) is too small with no space for chair to sit. I felt like I was in prison. The house is not well sound - The location was ok
- rachel (8/5): -
- Eftakhar (10/5): -
- Kristil Erla (7/5): -
- Emilia (6/5): - The room was comfortable and clean for the price. The house was easy to locate as well. The tiolet was dirty, and one couldn't take a shower due to no hot water for the shower and the untidiness of the bathroom.
- Julia (8/5): -
- Cenk (5/5): - Location Was very dirty, bathroom, hairs were everywhere
- Samin (5/5): Only the location was good and depending on price just i expected more clean - Only the location It wasn’t clean
I had to cover all matters and pillows and duvet , maybe was washed but i felt a bad smell
Also the floor wasn’t clean and when i opened the door , the bad smell made me unsatisfied
- Malene (2/5): - We booked this "double room", it was so small. We had 2 small carry-on suitcases, and both couldn't be open at the same time. It was a tiny bed (120 cm) for two, only 1 duvet to share. I was supposed to share with my friend, and we werent comfortable. It was too small. If it had been with a partner I maybe wouldn't care. But impossible to be comfortable. We didn't even stay there, but left the premises and bought a hotel close by that same day. So we never slept there. There were tissues underneath the bed - not from us. So not very clean. I have never done something like this, so to say we were disappointed is an understatement. We wanted to write to them, but got scared about the booking conditions. Something about a possible fee. So we just left and didn't look back. What a waste of our money for nothing. Would NOT recommend.
- Zhi (8/5): -
- Sakamoto (3/5): - ロンドンシティ空港、Excelから近い。
スーパーも近くにあるので便利。 お風呂の湯が出なかった。
私が最初に使ったが、ヒゲなどが落ちていた。
バスマットが黒ずんでいた。
トイレがなかなか流れなかった。
キッチンに乾いたタオルがなかった。キッチンペーパーもなかった。
- Rita (6/5): Good for a one night stay - Perfect for a one night stay. The bed was ok. There are many transportation opportunities, tubes, buses, DLR, Elizabeth line. The check in was anytime, it has a code system. The bathroom was not clean.
- michael (7/5): - Prima kwaliteit/prijs verhouding en locatie (dicht bij expositiehallen).
- tim (3/5): Very short - late check in and early to depart.very convenient location but needs a complete deep cl - Location for Excel is great. Only 5 min walk. Room was pretty filthy. Very poor hygiene.
