First impression nothing like the photo, room was tiny.Curtains hanging off,mould in the corner.Hot tap hanging off and cold tap hard to turn on and off.Tv not working carpet dirty mould in shower and rusty toilet roll holder.Extractor fan full of dust. £159 and while I know this price may have been due to the time of year was ridiculous.The only ok thing was the breakfast was nice enough.

The room was awful. There was a hole around the window frame which had been “fixed” with some insulation material. Beds were old, the divan bases were worn to the point of not a secure structure. The creaked when you moved.
Plug socket on the wall was hanging off.The taps in the bathroom were leaking and dripping. We had to place a towel in the sink to stop the noise,
Rooms were MUCH smaller that the photos showed. I heard someone watching TV late into the night through the walls, Breakfast was way less than expected. The bed was terrible to sleep on, too narrow and mattress too thin! I could not sleep very well AT ALL! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THE PLACE!
old, dirty, spiders, mould, dusty old moquette.
room was smelly, no hand soap in the toilet, mould in the shower.
zhe only thing was ok it was the Bed even tho you'd be staring at spiders on the sealing

Pros:
Good breakfast, parking in the property, clean and friendly staff
Cons:
Uncomfortable bed, felt the mattress springs on my back all night
The room was clean but it was unkept. There was rust all over in the bathroom and there was a giant hole in the wall by the bathroom door. Looked like some kind of pest lived in it. The tv also didn’t work.
ONLY positive thing about this place is the parking. Rushed check in by unbothered staff. Unhygienic breakfast service, mouldy bread served to guests on paper napkins by a man who coughed on hands and did not wash them. Uncaring, inhospitable, rude staff. Bed was uncomfortable, room was tiny, bathroom even tinier and dirty, TV did not work. For the price - shameful!
Excellent place to stay for gigs at the O2 Forum. Cheap and cheerful with lovely staff

You get what you pay
According to the rental in London, in general it is above average: safe environment, bus stops within 10 mins walk, breakfast included, friendly staffs. But in personal, the single room is too tiny, as well as the toilet and shower space are too small to use.
Tired bed and breakfast hotel. Not really that convenient for transport. Breakfast was nice and freshly cooked.

I stayed for two nights and both of them there was a strong smell of weed. It was hard to sleep as you can hear everything going on outside the room, including doors, people playing loud music in the other rooms, people walking upstairs. The room I stayed in was in the basement and one evening a door to the street was left open which made me feel very unsafe.
This hotel was ideally situated for some activities I had to attend in this area of London but unfortunately it wasn't a very comfortable stay.
Friendly staff and a decent spread of breakfast options helped get the mornings off to a strong start, but the room didn't seem to have been cleaned or ventilated properly before my arrival.
There was a musky smell, cobwebs by the window and discarded contact lenses from a previous guest on the side table.
I requested these be cleared away after the first night, but they weren't which was very disappointing.

No bacon or sausages for breakfast as they "Hadn't had a delivery." So baaically toast, beans, which I have an allegy to, and mushrooms for breakfast. Street was quiet, other hotel guests less so. Room small but adequate for one night
