The location is really great. At first, the building is a bit weird with this small entry but the staff is really nice and will help you whatever your desires.

The only bad point for me would be the shared toilet and shower, looks a bit old. But honestly. No need to complain for the price it is really good.

The rooms at the front of the hotel were noisy due to street traffic, but it's London, after all. The location is superb! The beds are not comfortable. I'd like to suggest that the hotel improve the breakfast and add an extra charge for it if need be. Instant coffee, no less.... Charge us for it and make it a good breakfast.

I think they charge a lot and for everything.10£ for key deposit, 5£ for UK adaptor deposit,2£ for renting towels. There's no elevator, and i was on the 6th floor.Locaton was OK, but further away from the metro station than I thought. The room was clean but really small.

for us was important: nearby musicals and metro, cheap, people are verry friendly and give information, it was quiet during the night and we dont care to take the stairs up to 5th floor - storrage bagage until we left London after check out - you don t come to L. to be in the hotel it s only for sleeping

Nice hostel, very central, lead by an indish family. Only when you dont like traffic noise its not good for you.

Breakfast isn't typically english; you get only toast with strawberry marmalade or muesli. The staff is very friendly, also the computer could be used. only flaw: Our 4-bed-room was very small.

instead of staying 4 nights accommodation as booked. We left the hotel for 1 night. We slept the raw springs from mattresses. And there was a door which banged so loud all night every 5 minutes. We came to pay for 2 nights, although we only stayed there 1 night.

I spent 4 nights in a shared dorm with 3 other people. The pictures of the hotel doesn't show it, but the room I was in, had two bunk beds (and not single beds like in the picture). The room was absolutely tiny- One person could BARELY fit between the two bunk beds, and there was very little room for luggage.

The bed was OK, it was comfortable. You just had to put on your own sheet.

The shared shower and toilet were clean. So was the stairway. The carpet in the room may have been clean, but it looked very filthy (I think it needed to be changed after years of wear and tear)

Regarding the toilet: One of my room mates told me that before I arrived, one guy was stuck in the toilet because the lock or handle got broken. He had to climb through the tiny window (there was a landing + fire escape stairs outside) and make his way down to get out!

The lock/ handle got fixed by the hotel quickly, but that story scared me a bit.

Anyway, I would recommend this hotel (which to be honest should be called HOSTEL) to anyone who don't mind VERY basic, no frills accommodation. If you don't expect anything fancy, then you should be happy! The location is excellent.

I think its a little expensive for the conditions. The pictures in the site are not from de rooms. The room is too small and de beds are not confortable!

The people here is very nice and is closed to de center.

We don't have wifi in the dorms, the realy small dorms.
