If I were 20 years old again and traveling with friends, this hotel would have been fine. The rooms were extremely small and I couldn't even turn around in the shower. Young people wouldn't mind; I did.

The rooms are super small and the bed is awful sinking in the middle definitely needs to be change ASAP !!! we asked to be transferred to another room coz of the bed situation the one we got was not that good either , the bathroom is so small u can barely do anything inside , toilet seat was broken and the WiFi hardly works . We even had to pay additional to get in just an hour early . Staff not as friendly . The only plus I must say was the location ! Close to everything .

This hotel is NOT as advertised. The pictures are not of the same hotel. FALSE ADVERTSISING - and expedia refuses to refund me. The rooms are tiny, and the bathrooms are even smaller. The carpets are stained and burnt, Very Old stained mattresses, no cover on them what so ever, TV is tiny, window coverings don't open, window won't stay open, no toiletries, no kettle, no coffee, you can't fit a normal sized person in the bathroom, Yet this fact it NOT mentioned anywhere, its stained and gross too. The only good thing about this property is the location. Google reviews are very different from expedia reviews, a lot of bed bug complaints too. Do not stay here

I was worried about staying here because of previous bad reviews but for the price I paid in the location. It wasn’t bad and the service was amazing. They always wanted me to be comfortable and have the best stay possible so if you’re looking for something in this location at a low rate I think this is a decent choice

great hotel location

Location - great, room-clean; there was no hairdryer, but we got one upon request at the reception. The was also no tea kettle in the room to boil water; there is very little space in the shower but we fit in, the water is good, maybe there could be as many shampoo packets as there are nights of sleep...there was no soap or shower gel... could use more towels.

Clean room, good location.

It is not 5 stars hotel, you cannot expect that much, however, the hotel has good location, there are 2 underground stations, some restaurants and grocery stores around that place. It is very convenient. If you are looking for clean, and convenient hotel to stay, I strong recommend.

I’ll start with the positive. The two young guys on reception were very polite, respectful and helpful. That is unfortunately where the positives end. It’s incredibly shabby & run down. The single room was like a prison cell. Tiny, drab and no light through a tiny window high up a wall facing a vestibule not outside. Dirty bathroom, which the receptionist did organise another clean. Towels & hairdresser on request. Lights so bright it was like being in a solarium. Scuffs all over the walls, springy bed, dank furniture. Paper thin walls so you can hear every thump, cough, bang, door etc. excruciating. Apart from the lovely staff. Avoid. Oh, the area is great though and right next to the station!

Location was good and reception also great. Unfortunately the room was having some heating issues so I had to sleep with the window open. Luckily I always travel with earplugs otherwise it would have been difficult to sleep for long time due to the noise on the street. I stayed for one night so was still good for what I needed and the price paid.

There is a lot that could be done to make the stay more enjoyable. While the location was excellent and the staff friendly, the space is not very clean and there is a strong odour on the property. I saw small ants (or bugs of some kind - not bed bugs) in my room, and the walls and flooring were very well worn. An upgrade in paint, linen, and towels would be an easy and more affordable way to enhance the environment. If you are a larger, taller, or disabled person it is not accessible. The washroom is incredibly small, and you cannot sit on the toilet without hitting the sink. There is no way someone in a wheel chair or is plus size could comfortably use the facilities; if at all. I found the cost affordable for the area, though improvements are definitely needed before I would book again.

Comfortable enough for 1 night stay

Comfortable enough for a 1 night stay but very small room and the bathroom was unbelievable tiny. If a person was of a large frame they would not be able to fit in to go to the toilet or get in/out of shower. Couple of mini-supermarkets across the road to get provisions from.

Don’t book it unless you have to, you can’t use the toilet without hitting the sink or you have to let the door open , also the shower is tight you can’t even clean your body properly. The bed wasn’t clean as well as the pillow have stains and hair. The location was good , it’s close to paddington station

The deluxe double room was no bigger than a large wardrobe! If I had swung a cat I would have smashed its head in !! The shower was tiny , I’m a large framed man and just squeezed into it , once in I couldn’t move , the shower head was fixed and aimed at the ceiling, I had to remove it from it’s cradle to get myself wet , the tv was no bigger than a mobile phone , it definitely needs to be decorated , the paint was aged and grubby , I feel the description on your website is very misleading , on the plus side , it was warm and clean

Was fine..

Was alright for the stay if you dont plan on staying in all day & youve got plans/stuff you wanna do for the duration, but other then that, it was tiny for a 'deluxe' double room that was advertised. The photos overdo how spacious it is in comparison to arrival. Bathroom barely has any space at all, and you didnt have space between the toilet sink or shower, literally within what feels like 3cm of each other. There was a crack in the sink, & was mould in the shower due to the lack of use of the fan that regulates, plus standard deep cleanliness. Mattress isnt also ideal if youve got back problems, but if youre fine with spring mattresses then you should be fine. Tv remote vanashed on the final night somehow, and the mess found trying to find it shows they dont clean under the beds. Strongly suggest to not put door cards on the back of your phone cases as it messes with the key card, figured that out the hard way. Hotel reception were friendly & excellent for problems, & rooms are from the 1st floor upwards. Thanks for accommodating us regardless
