Reasonable stay

Good stay for the price. Can understand previous feedback but we found this to be a reasonable stay for the money. Room wasn’t great but had all the amenities we needed prior to getting a train the following day.

This place was a mess. Surprised it's on Expedia. First, they charge for Wifi, 2.5L per day. The bathrooms are coverted closets literally, can barely move. Breakfast is a joke-stale cereal, some bread and instant coffee. Room key doesn;t work for the front door half the time.

Be aware!!!

If you are in a budget, this place maybe an option, but I don’t recommend this place to stay, is pretty close from Russell Station(opens at 5:30am becareful), but if you go in summer time be ready to suffer with the head on the rooms, specially the ones on the basement. Please think twice and spend 100$ for something better!

I am very careful about writing negative reviews but what was evident from this property is that the owner only cared about providing the bare minimum or less. You simply cannot make a ‘wardrobe’ from various scrap pieces of wood and a botch it together with 100 screws and think that is acceptable. The carpets were dirty throughout and varied as you walked in colour and pattern. Myself and my son decided within 1 minute we just could not stay there. As per your policy you have kept one nights stay as a charge. That’s ok. Please improve.

Tiny little room, with a miniscule washroom; not the comfiest bed ever, but OK. I arrived early, well before check-in time, but they were very good about cleaning it and letting me in early. Ideally placed for travel from St Pancras; on transit routes for getting around.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were friendly and helpful. My room was on the second floor and two doors down from reception. There was no lift which was a problem for me but staff did help with luggage. There was a deep step up into the bathroom which wasn't clear in the booking information. My room had tea making facilities but no milk. Breakfast was included but this was very basic - a couple of choices of cereal and a loaf of bread to make your own toast

When we booked this hotel, I was under no illusion that it was extremely basic and the room would have 2 Beds plus an en-suite. I am completely go smacked by how dirty the room was. The bathroom was dirty with toilet paper blocking the sink, an extremely dirty shower with a build up a limescale, rust and the shower curtain hung in the toilet. The wiring was exposed behind the TV and one set of lights did not work. The lights above the double bed were covered in rust. The curtains were dirty and hanging off and on the double bed the bedsheet was visibly dirty and on the single bed the duvet cover was visibly dirty. There was a hole in the wardrobe that looked like a punch mark and an extremely dirty hairdryer and kettle in the room with old coffee sachets and screws mixed together in a basket. My daughter who has ASD was extremely traumatised by the dirt including the build up behind the radiator and she unfortunately was unable to sleep. Basic is absolutely fine but disgustingly dirty is not acceptable.

Perfectly decent stay. You get what you pay for and so we weren’t expecting 5 star but couldn’t fault it for what we paid. Perfect location for the railway station and Brunswick centre. Good clean bedding and everything we needed
