Very cramped room despite being a room for four persons. I sufficient towels in room despite being reserved for multiple adults. Room was across the street in another building and it was a difficult hallway to maneuver with luggage. Remote control looked as if it had never been cleaned, but the rest of the room was clean.

Great location coming off Eurostar. It is not a hotel though. Even for London. Was clean and tidy. Staff were good. All down hill from there. Tiny room 8m2. Hot and noisy. Shared tiny shower and toilet for whole floor of 6 rooms. Constantly noisy from doors opening and closing. No lift and narrow staircase to 3rd floor. Would not recommend.

I confirmed that you booked a Budget Basic Room, and all of our rooms are standard in size and specific to the number of occupants. We apologise if your expectations for the space are too high, as we are a budget hotel in the heart of the city with very clean rooms, and the majority of our guests enjoy their stay and recognise the helpful staff we have.You were given the choice of making your room or booking into an ensuite, but you declined and left us a negative review despite the fact that we are doing well and that all of our staff are working hard to ensure that every one of our guests is satisfied.We do not allow such statements because we are committed to our service. Brian, in the future, I would propose that you book a five-star hotel near us, as you anticipate a luxurious and big room at our budget hotel. We wish you all the best .Best of luck,

There are rental bike parked right outside of the hotel rooms and at 12-2am theres a crew that goes around the city replacing, moving the bikes, fixing them, whatever it is that theyre doing. While they’re doing it theyll laugh loudly and have a good time on the job. As they should. The walls and windows of the apartments are either paper thin or just imaginary because closing them shut does not help reduce the noise whatsoever. Our family of 3 were tired for both of our days spent in london. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone just because of the bikes being there. Everything else was decent.

During your visit, I worked the night shift from April 23 to April 25, 2024, and I never heard of anyone from bike area laughing, mending things, or making a lot of noise while they work. Furthermore, the bikes are parked there in a calm manner, leaving less of a carbon impact than you. Furthermore, because our hotel is housed in one of London's century-old buildings, we believe you did not complain about the cleanliness of our rooms or the facilities because we maintain everything on a daily basis.The majority of our visitors also praise our fantastic location—just two minutes from the bus and rail stations—as well as the spotless amenities and courteous staff. If you're worried about staying in city vibe, I suggest booking in the rural area for a extremely tranquil stay.sincerely,Ranie - Reception

the area is very convenient to trains and buses and restaurants, that being said, it is very busy, and not as clean. There is a £10 charge for an early check in. I have stayed in a lot of hotels in Europe and I know they are generally small, this hotel is one of them! hard for two people to move around with 2 carry ons and 2 back packs. Because of the limited space, even the trash bins were so tiny! The beds are comfortable but they only have a flat sheet tucked in the mattresses, no fitted sheets, and they come off when you move! The pillows were quite flat! The room was clean though. Even with the convenient location snd reasonable price, I most likely will find another place to stay.

Everything is good when I think of the price I paid. The only thing is the safe in the room is not working so I need to bring my documents with me even I go out.

Great place but being so close to the underground and a main road it was a little loud at night. Super convenient but noisy.

Easy to get to from Kings Cross. Friendly staff. Very clean room and comfortable beds. Only wish there was a lift.

Every day, our team puts forth great effort to offer the most reasonably priced accommodations in central London, with first-rate rooms at reasonable prices.

Nonetheless, we will consider this carefully and investigate future methods to enhance our facilities. We hope you will witness our improvements when we welcome you again in the near future.Sincerely,

Positive was that the property was very neat and clean, and safe. Negatives were, room was very warm, there was only a comforter on the bed, with no sheet, no wash or hand towels, only 1 plug for charging devices and the most negative was that it was very noisy especially from early AM hours (in the room above us).
