What people say
Staff, living room (friendly environment), breakfast.
I´ll be back there next time I´ll visit London in a few months time.
Staff is kind, good place but the beds are unconfortable and room
carpets not enough clean.
BE AWARE OF KEEPING THE TICKET TO COLLECT THE 5 POUNDS WHEN YOU LEAVE.
Staff is very kind, very suitable if you are passing by here and you are
only staying only one night!!!!. all reviews »
Location. staff and clean.
cheap and uncomplicated.
Like always in England no care of details, no think to have a shower
(doesn't works) or got to the bathroom (too small)!!!!.
They charge for all, examample for take the bag a few hours. Not
internet, not computer, not credit card, not towell. They dont said
that before.confot and service not exist.
no heating, bathroom hygiene questionable.
Poor reception from staff, who insisted I had to pay by cash, even
though I had a print-off from the web page listing the credits cards
they accept. And had no cash. Toilet was over-flowing.
