Photos from the website are NOT what they are in reality, very deceptive. We booked a double bed room( sleeps 2 ) we were extremely cramped, the mattress was 2 inches thick and very uncomfortable, the blanked given was barely enough to cover 1 person let alone 2 ( we are not big people) the bathroom has NO standing room NONE had to open the door to use the sink, faucet had never been cleaned or polished, it was severely tarnished, broken towel racks, shower was half the size of a phone booth Broken shower head and it pooled up with water so fast it almost overflowed with a 2 minute shower. Walls are paper thin we could hear everything and everyone inside and outside, street noise was very bad all night, we could even hear the receptionist talking, never saw a breakfast area that shows in the photos ,the entrance/ lobby does not look like the pictures shown, no air conditioning which made the room very stuffy. The walls in the room are extremely dirty along with the elevator it was disgusting, looked like it had never been whipped down. The ONLY reason we stayed was because we flown in from the states and had been awake for over 30 hours by the time we were able to get into the room, we were exhausted so we tolerated it for 1 night. NEVER AGAIN. Complete let down for our first stay in London. We ended up getting another room elsewhere for the remainder of our stay. We travel internationally often and this is by far the worst room we have ever had.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve travelled far and wide. Electric sockets hanging off the wall. Window lodged open with piece of wood. Room in a disgusting state. I threw the “key” back on the reception and told them to stick it and went somewhere else. Absolutely awful

I thought it was very similar to the pictures shown on their page. When we went there, the room was not cleaned at all, very unhygienic. The surface was filled with dirt, the drawers were not cleaned, hair from the previous occupier were still there. The shower room drainage was not in good working condition, the tv was for only for display. I will not be recommending this place to people. I really did not enjoy my stay there, the value for money was not compensated. The place was rubbish. The room was not cleaned, remains from the previous occupier were still there, if we still have time, we rather transfer to other hotels than stay there.

If needs must!
I was in a room on the top floor, it was hot weather + the room was soooooo hot. The window opened no more than 2 inches. I requested a fan @ reception + I was given one, but advised it would work better if I removed the cage! It worked but I'm sure Health + Safety would have had a nightmare! Bedding + towels changed unnecessarily!
