Honestly, this hotel was grand if all you need is literally just a bed, but that’s about it. It’s as basic as they come, think Ryanair but in hotel form, and not in a charming way. They charge you £15 per bag just to hold onto your luggage before check-in or after check-out, which is an absolute joke. I’ve stayed in hostels that’ll do it for free, so that was a bit of a slap in the face.
The room itself wasn’t great. The air con barely worked (and with no window, it felt like a bit of a box), though we did manage to get a fan after asking. The shower also overflowed and leaked into the bathroom, which was just the cherry on top.
The only saving grace was the location — it’s genuinely handy for getting around London. But honestly, for the price we paid, it felt like a total rip off. If you’re just desperate for somewhere to crash and don’t care about comfort, it’ll do. Otherwise, save your money and book literally anywhere else.
