I stayed here for a week. I had read prior reviews so I understood that the reception wasn’t manned 24 hrs. The location is very close to the underground, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The hotel itself was fine. I was travelling alone so the room was ample for me. It’s London and the room sizes aren’t massive if you are on a budget. The thing that made me choose this hotel was the price, the location and the room facilities. Having a small kitchenette made things better for me as I could make some food if I wanted to. It was perfectly well kitted out and even had an nespresso machine. I found my room spotlessly clean, the bed was upper comfortable and the shower great. No daily cleaning due to Covid which was explained and if I needed anything I just needed to ask. The receptionists were friendly and helpful. As for the security concerns mentioned, I never experienced any issue. Personally, I have stayed in some dodgy areas, this is not one. There was no one hanging around the hotel, and as I smoker I was outside often at night and saw no issue. In fact, the street is quiet with just other hotels nearby. This isn’t a five star hotel, but a fantastic choice for a budget traveller. Use your own common sense and don’t have impossible expectations. I would not let anyone follow me into a hotel without a key, that’s just too risky. There have been a lot of negative reviews about this hotel and personally I think they are unmerited. I’d stay here again without question as the level of facilities and location are very good given the price.
