Simple budget hotel, nice for solo travel

I booked a budget hotel in the centre of London, it was exactly as advertised. I booked a single room, it was small but that's all I needed. Very convenient location, a very short walkable disatnce to King's Cross station. Relaxed and laid back hotel, I had no issues. Nice hotel for a solo traveller, perfect for someone looking to see London on a budget - especially if you don't plan on staying in the hotel all day. I'm going to highlight the luggage storage facility they have. I checked out in the morning and collected my luggage that evening. Very convenient for getting the most out your visit!

Decent budget hotel for a few nights.

The hotel interior could do with some updating as it looked like it was outdated. The hallways are very narrow due to the design of the building, some stairs could do with a flat surface where the doors is to go downstairs or upstairs. Bathroom was okay, interior was run-down. The beds were very comforting, best pillows according to my mother she ever had! At least it had your usual things, a bathroom, a tv, kettle, some things for tea and coffee. Was also happy that the room size was decent as was worried according to other people's reviews that some rooms were very tiny but it wasn't for us!

A double room is ideal for one person only. Ideal for the train station. Our double room did not look like picture advertised. They need to put actual sizes of the rooms against them so you can see what you are getting.

The hotel was very convenient for transportation services, Kings Cross and St.Pancras. We had booked a triple room that turned out to be very small, second floor with no elevator and narrow staircase. The room had no dresser for storing clothing, so for four days we lived out of our suitcases, fortunately the suitcases fit under the beds. There was no control for the heating in the room, the bathroom seemed to be constantly at 30 C. We kept the bedroom window open at all times, and we still slept on top of the covers. This room would have been passable for one night, not for an extended stay.

To be fair, the warning signs were there and I ignored them. 1. The long list of one star reviews. Surely just a bunch of hard to please perfectionists…..wrong! 2. The complete lack of security. Just rock up to the front desk and state your name. No need for any ID. Passport? Who cares, you’re in! 3. The abysmal customer service. One old dude more interested in watching Titanic on the TV than communicating in any way. Honestly, who hasn’t seen Titanic the movie by now. 4. I was given the keys to room 014. If this ever happens to you, you poor unfortunate soul, it’s the room dreams go to die. I could actually feel the floor sinking as I walked across the room, my weight causing the mouldy floor boards to sag. The bathroom smelt of actual raw sewage. 5. Pleading for another room was a challenge. (Mainly because we were up to the good bit in Titanic when the ship, like my expectations, were sinking fast). I was given room 411 and I grabbed the keys like Kate Winslett and a floating plank. Yes, it was on the 3rd floor with no lift. Yes, there were mouse traps outside the door. And yes, it came with its very own set of windowsill pigeons (window needed to be opened in order to breathe/sweat) but I had seen and survived room 014 and I was not going back. So to sum up, if you are looking for the worst hotel in London, some place that you can tell your friends about and laugh, then this hotel is for you. Just make sure you ask to stay in room 014.

The rooms have been reduced in size to maximise the profit. My room 014 in the basement was difficult to get to as I’m a pensioner as the stairs giving access are so steep and corridors very narrow. The smell in the room from the drains was utterly disgusting. There’s not even enough space to use an ironing board. It’s not the cheapest of places but I expected better for the money paid.

Basic but fine

The hotel looks very appealing from the outside. It is fairly basic inside but has all you need for a convenient base. I was in a basement room with a window that didn't close securely and had no lock. No safe in the room or available at reception. Bed was clean and comfortable and the shower was good.
