Guest Reviews
- Julius (5/5): - I booked a double room which I know was comfortable for me - however I was upgraded to a family size room which was a dead room and I was very disappointed. Why upgrade my room without me asking or without my knowledge. I knew what I wanted and I went for it but maybe there was a reason why I was upgraded but that was a very very very very poor upgrade
Taking me from a nice and clean double bed room to a dead and smelly family size room wasn’t necessary
- Ludovico (10/5): Great hotel -
- Maya (3/5): -
- Merry (1/5): Didn't meet our needs. - Nothing Undesirable location for sightseeing London.
VERY, VERY small room. Lack of electric outlets .
No lift.
Best nearby food was Subway sandwiches.
No native Brits around.
I thought I heard rats in the ceiling.
- Alex (10/5): -
- Parviz (4/5): I wish they can improve the facilities. - The personnel were kind and friendly The room was too small for a family room. We didn’t expect this. The windows can’t be open, the door was very weak so someone can easily break in.
- Reed (5/5): Value for money stay but noisy from street - Value for money Street noise, toilet smell due to plumbing (internal soil vent pipe)
- Amidu Abioodun (7/5): - Everything None

- Amelia (1/5): Short, anything but sweet - The room was absolutely filthy and the lock didnt even work. Felt extremely unsafe and surrounded by creepy men - it isnt even a hotel, it's a room in a block of flats. I cried and ran out. Absolutely abhorrent.
- Amoah (5/5): -

- Augustina (8/5): I was happy with my family in the hotel during our stay - I like the location, the proximity to everywhere is excellent. It is a bit noisy but manageable
- Abdurasid (10/5): -
- Mateja (7/5): - Osoblje je jako uslužno i ljubazno. Imali smo nekoliko zahtjeva, a oni su se stvarno potrudili da nam pomognu. Nismo znali da imaju drugačije utičnice, pa nismo ponjele adapter ( nismo mogli koristiti svoje uređaje) ali su nam ponudili svoje. Također, izašli su nam u susret te smo mogli ostaviti svoje kofere kod njih na čuvanje poslje check-out.
Hvala dečki!!! Tuš kabina je vrlo mala, i puna kamenca.

The sheets were not washed they had brown stains on them and so did the towel the window was opened with a hanger the bathroom towel was placed on the shower floor it was hard to access Netflix and bbc iplayer the staff made fun of me.
- Viktória (7/5): -
- Kayreen (8/5): Comfortable - The room was clean Too much noise from outside
- Barry (4/5): not a nice experience - The main room was clean, tidy but basic The bathroom / wet room layout was poor as you had to shower around the toilet - very small .
It was also very cold, no heating in the bathroom, it was damp around the walls with mould. It could do with a redecoration
There were no tea/coffee facilities.
Also several of the plugs sockets in the main bedroom would not take a plug

- khan (1/5): -
- calum (2/5): - Staff at reception were nice Room smelled, not even a kettle in room to make tea. Run down condition and groups of other guests allowed to sit outside my room in early hours, I don't know if it was for prayer but surely they can be doing this elsewhere rather than outside other guests rooms in early hours of morning. One lady was actually leaning against my door so it was not the most enjoyable of stays. The staff are really nice just the rooms and hotel are very run down.

- Ariike (10/5): Great stay, vaule for money. - I Liked the location, it was only a night stay, but I enjoyed it, thank you. That we was giving a room with a door that didnt have no lock for the bathroom door, and the two black tables were bent, room 214. but overall it was decent.
- James (5/5): - Position in Barking Getting from hotel to car park
- Victoria (9/5): -
- Łukasz (1/5): Najgorszy hotel w którym byłem !!! Nikomu nie polecam - Nic!!!!!! The worst hotel I've ever stayed in.
Dirty, mold in the bathroom, ants crawling everywhere and getting into suitcases, the room was so small you couldn't walk past the beds, the window was covered in bird droppings, and the shower was disgusting.
I had a three-night reservation but checked out after the first night. It was a disaster.
