Great location but not one we’d book again
The reception staff were very friendly, but the hotel is extremely basic for the cost. Our room smelt very peculiar and when we went to breakfast in the morning, no one came to meet us so we just left. I am sure if we had found the staff they would have served us with a smile, but it didn’t feel that comfortable. Great if you want a cheap stay in a great location, but not one we would stay at again.

The heating system didn’t work - either scalding hot or freezing. The sheets were left crumbled when the beds were made. The breakfast was very basic. Friendly staff, good location

Ok for 1 night, close to Victoria
We were top floor of a walk-up in an old building, plenty of wear and tear but the room was clean. Very small room. Great location. It would suit someone with light luggage and a no-frills expectation.

Expensive experience
Very small room hardly space to walk around. Minute sink - unacceptable.
Third floor room no lift not suitable for me or others post hip surgery.
Very basic breakfast and pretty unfriendly staff.
Would NEVER STAY again and would not recommend for the price.

It was a very small room but we knew that going in however it was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a continental type including toast, cereal, yogurt, coffees, tea and juices which was fine with us. We did find the room warm but were able to cool it off using the fan and opening the window in the evening as it was September and so not really hot during evening. The decor is definitely dated including the carpets. You do hear noise from other rooms but not an ongoing issue for us. The location was excellent. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see and it is close to Victoria station for all transportation.
