In our room, the bed had a large urine stain. The mattress was so thin one could almost put a foot straight through. We contacted the Front Desk immediately and they said they were full and would do nothing more to assist us. We could not go searching London for a hotel at that hour, so we slept on the floor. The hotel also refused to issue a full refund for the stay. Definitely NOT a 9.0 stay!

This hotel is a very specific solution that does its job excellently. It is clean, bright, the team communicates clearly and frequently. The rooms are comfortable and there is attention to detail paid to the small things. Extras include: ability to store luggage, a small 'tuck' shop including recycled chargers, fruit, maps, many necessities and comforts. The staff make you feel like you have arrived somewhere that cares.

The front desk staff were all very pleasant and the hotel is kept clean and tidy. I had a single ensuite room which was compact, but bright and clean and comfortable enough. For travellers with luggage, please note that there is no lift and the stairs are narrow. However, the hotel has a location very close to two railway stations and several underground lines and that is useful. Would I stay again. Yes, for short stays.

Perfectly adequate for the price! Booked last minute, must’ve arrived at about 11pm, friendly chap at reception, went across the road and let myself in, grabbed some water and snack from reception, room was fairly compact but, as said, perfectly adequate and good value. Very quiet, comfortable beds, very happy and would use again! I used this as I missed the last train back to Cambridge, cheaper than a taxi!

Meant to book a 3-night stay for May, but mistakenly booked a 1-night stay for the same day. I realized my mistake the second I submitted it and immediately messaged the hotel to cancel the one night and that I will book the correct dates. Received a standard reply that (even though I paid the higher rate to cancel), it was past the check-in time and too late to cancel. I responded back letting them know I went ahead and booked the 3-night stay for May and would appreciate the 1-night for that day to be canceled since it was clearly a mistake that I informed them of within minutes of booking. This was a week ago and I've yet to hear back. Hoping it gets rectified so that we can actually do a review after staying in the hotel.

This is not a hotel. They acquired a bunch of rooms on both sides of the road. Our room was across the street on the second floor, through 2 locked doors, them up a very tiny staircase that doesn’t fit you and your bag. Floors up to a tiny hallway into a tiny room. The room has no room to open your bag. The shower is small enough that if you drop your soap there’s no room to get it. If you are absolutely about finding the cheapest room, maybe, otherwise avoid it.

Room was adequate. Tiny and very budget but it was clean. Issue was during check in - my mother and son were with me and I wanted to leave their luggage in my hotel room because they were staying in a different hotel and had a few hours before their check-in. The hotel employee would not allow me to put their luggage in my room and insisted that their luggage stay out in the reception area and that I pay a fee for him to watch it. He stated that if the hotel allowed people to store luggage in their hotel rooms then everybody would do it. I’m not sure what business it is of the hotel what I choose to keep in my hotel room that I have paid for. This is a ridiculous policy.
