Shops near by. Room basic but clean.
Very tired looking decor. Reception staff not very friendly, or helpful. Very Noisy in the morning, someone trying our door several times which was annoying.
Trip hazards on arrival, sheets on stairs, towels on corridor floor. I know it was value for money but expected it to be a bit better.
I would recommend! It was super close to the train station and the 24 bus which takes you to the big ben and soho. The room was small and not in super clean condition but it was definitely worth the cost. Room has a fridge which was super nice and is right around the corner of a grocery store and lots of restaurants!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very compact room with the basics in a great location just a few minutes from Victoria Station
The lady behind reception was lovely. I booked the cheapest single room for a quick overnight stay, however it wasn’t really a room, it was more like a cupboard behind reception. The wall was very thin and I could hear everyone coming in and out and the phone ringing like it was in my room. The bed wasn’t really made (the under sheet was just thrown on and not made properly), there were dirty earbuds on the floor and there was a window above the door that I couldn’t cover up (no curtain to close, just a window straight out to the lit hall with the lightbulb right outside). I had to ask the lady behind reception to turn the light in the hallway off so that I could go to sleep. The tv in the room didn’t work, but it did keep turning itself on throughout the night waking me up with the light. When I first came in, it was turned on a set to Babestation. The shared toilet had a constant massive puddle on the floor that you had to stand in, to use the loo and the shared shower was so dirty I couldn’t use it. Sodden towels on the floor and used/empty bottles and wrappers everywhere. Not a comfortable stay at all. I had to leave as soon as I woke up and showered/used a restroom elsewhere. I didn’t complain as I figured I’d booked a £45 room but still, regardless of that, I’ve had cheap rooms elsewhere and this was a terrible stay that I wouldn’t book again.
Love the location. Near transport and lots of restaurants.
The hotel itself was pretty basic. The room was tiny and not the cleanest.
Good for a short term stay if you just need a bed for the night.
I thought this was a very reasonably priced hotel considering it is literally 5 mins walk from Victoria! Room was fine - memory foam mattress meant a good night's sleep. Shower was nice and powerful, there was a fridge and a tv so overall I was happy.
Only very slight thing was there didn't seem to be a remote for the tv but that was a minor thing.
The only think going for this hotel is location very old property with minimal upgrade or improvements. Staff rude and unhelpful. The only good reviews would be from the family sitting in the entrance daily eating. Checked out after 8 nights, sheets
/ towels meant to be changed after 5 days, this did not occur. TV kept playing up and did not receive all
Channels. Very poor hotel. Small as expected in London however there was no quality service provided.
No clean room dirty when i came and No cleaning in room under my visit
Dirty in toilet small room nowhere to hang up a jacket or Towell ask for towel nothing happaened slepping stag when i check out first room osv
The picture on your website is so deceiving. The room is small and no air condition. It only has dirty electric fan. Instead of staying for 2 nights, we left on the second night because due illness.

Disliked: Cleanliness
There’s dirt on the sheets and pillows. They should make better use of the hoover. Apart from that the room is okay.
Room size was too small and smelly and bathroom stench in the room even if bathroom door is closed, bathroom has no pegs to hang towels or clothes and dirty. Very small window. Avoid staying here
