Positive Reviews

Service accommodating and friendly

positive:
Commendable levels of cleanliness
In terms of hygiene, this feature of the accommodation was regularly applauded by former visitors. The rooms, shared bathroom facilities and communal kitchen have all been routinely commended when it came to their cleanliness standards.
positive:
Affordable option for the area
When it came to the cost of staying, this facet of the hotel was positively received overall by previous guests. When compared to other alternative options in London, this property was usually labelled as one of the most inexpensive choices available.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Location far from the best
Based on the general sentiments of former visitors, the accommodation's location is one of its weaker aspects. As well as not being particularly close to major points of interest in London, the neighbourhood was also described as not the most welcoming.
negative:
Inconvenient shared bathrooms
The shared bathroom policy has proven to be a source of grievance for a sizeable amount of past guests that stayed at the hotel. Understandably, the use of the shared bathroom facilities was often judged as inconvenient.
negative:
Overly basic option
The simplistic nature of the accommodation was disappointing at times for previous visitors. From the lack of in-room amenities such as tea/coffee making facilities to the omission of recreational spaces, the property has developed a reputation for being noticeably no-thrills in its approach.
