The room was good, couldn’t hear anyone else. Superking deluxe room is just two singles pushed together which was frustrating as they kept sliding apart and there was someone’s takeaway left in a shelf in the cupboard from the person staying before. Otherwise it was good

Value for money option. No lights shining in from outside or blinking in the room (other than necessary). Surprisingly quiet. I was apprehensive about the mobile phone operated door lock but it worked without a hitch. The room was basic but bed and sink in the room clean.

Nice clean room, with everything you could need, and right next to the Underground entrance. Wouldn't like to carry a heavy suitcase up the stairs though.
