Acceptable, but probably won't book again

Pros: location, had the basics requirements needed, bed was quite comfy, fairly inexpensive Cons: not clear from listing that it's a shared accomodation, which I would not have picked as a solo female traveller. Bedroom doors lock but still not ideal setup. Lacking basics that a true hotel would have like toiletries though I brought my own. There was a kettle and tea and sugar, but no cup or coffee or milk in room (?) Cleanliness wasn't the best, but it was acceptable. Shower sprayed water everywhere - be prepared to mop up the floor with a towel! Would have been very small space for the 4 people expected to fit in the room! Fine for 1-2 people. Was a bit taken aback at having to send my ID and £300 deposit in advance (maybe not ideal if you don't want that money unavailable to you?) but it was promptly released from card by the day after stay. Comms werent great - they initially asked me to pay for the room after I'd already paid hotels.com, and later on asked for my ID after I'd already submitted. Also didn't get check in instructions until 2pm on day of arrival - check in isn't until 4pm but if you like to have all your info in advance it's not ideal. First day in new job and I didn't even know if I was going to be able to check in! Overall I will probably book something else for my work trips going forward as I'd rather pay more and have less cons, but might consider booking this again if I really wanted the location.

Decent Experience

Decent location, nice clean rooms and kitchen, however was not told beforehand that it was a shared bathroom and struggled to get a reply over message. Was told multiple times that I would be sent a check in code and had to call them 3 times to finally get it. Very nice inside but just beware that it does feel like you're staying in someone's house.

Fake hotel with hidden costs.

This is not a hotel. You are renting a room in an indecent town home. There is no front desk, and upon arrival you are unable to enter the building without filling out a long form and paying an additional 300 pound deposit that was not disclosed. I'm hoping I am able to get it back.

I stayed in a compact room in a town house which had other rooms available. In my room there was a comfortable single bed, towels, a TV and kettle, and on the same floor was a nicely furnished, shared shower room. The room was perfect for my needs (just needed a bed for the night) and quite close to the West End with a handful of shops nearby. The owner introduced themselves via WhatsApp and shared the access code at check in time (4pm); I didn't need any further help but they seemed very approachable.

Strange and unclean

This is a small council house converted into separate rooms. Our room was sold as a triple, but was a double with a broken sofa bed which when folded out blocked all movement in the room, stopping the use of the (tiny) wardrobe and the storage unit. There were two dirty mugs, a used teaspoon and empty tea bag wrappers in our room, but no one to contact about this as it isn’t a hotel. There is a kitchen where I could get clean mugs/spoons, but there was no milk/milk sachets anywhere. The only thing going for this place is the location.

Cheap but weired :)

Inexpensive. However its all a bit weired. Find a random house on an estate. Work out how the door lock works and find your room. Bed about 5 ft in the air. Telly, but not connected to anything. Have to share a bathroom. Which means you have to get dressed in the night to go to the loo. A dozen emails and forms you have to fill in and a deposit. Just get a hotel.

Great location

The room was exactly as described & pictured. Easy no-key system works well, especially for a late night in the city. Had to call to ask for check-in details and to find out when my deposit is coming back which is not ideal, more communication from staff would have been better. That said, I would definitely stay again!

Came in exhausted for check in at 4 and the place was a mess. I reached out and they had someone come out quickly to clean it up and get itvready. I appreciated that. The shared kitchen is so handy to have access at for long stays or even the 2 nights we did. I love the modernisation of the place. The biggest issue wasn't the mess we checked into but the shower. The water goes everywhere and i recommend using a towel inside the door to prevent water from going everywhere and finding its way inside the room and piling up outside the door and under the bed. It is slippery. Please watch out for that.

The worst experience ever

It was probably the worst experience I have ever had - showed up to check in an hour after we should have as room wasn't ready , to then find at 5pm still not cleaned we had to stand outside the property as no where we could sit and were left out there till after 7pm at night I had my 2 children with me and had a full panic attack!! It was terrible, I thought we were stranded in London on a Saturday night!! We felt mislead as we thought it was a hotel it's a house!! With other people in it !!!! We spoke to another stressed couple thought the same as us, they left and found other accommodation. Place felt so unsafe (back door was unlocked and opened ) and uncomfortable we had no choice but to stay and no other options available I spoke to someone from hotels.com then put us back onto property manager who gave us 10% back on one night - I was in such a state I just accepted and was frightened didn't know what to do??? My son woke up the next day with a red and swollen eye my face was swollen too had to take antihistamine! Never ever ever booking again, absolute nightmare!

This property is advertised as a hotel. In reality it is a town house where you are renting an individual room with a flimsy digital door lock. Bathroom is shared and after booking they demand a deposit along with having extensive travelers insurance to be able to access the room. Did not feel comfortable leaving valuables in the room as there is no front desk person nor a safe in the rooms. If you are looking for a quick stay in a good location this may be ideal, would not recommend for a longer stay. Also strict no refund policy, beware.

I would not recommend this property and after over 15 years of loyalty as a customer I am no longer booking through this page. Pre check in process includes third party payment of an unclear amout - check other reviews this place is dodgy and you are not protected and have to agree to likely illegally Ts & Cs.
