Checked in paid for my stay in advance (hotel policy). Room filthy, bed smelled shower filthy, soap tray in shower filthy. No soap / shampoo provided. Next door had a baby in the room which cried all night. I could hear it easily through the paper thin walls. Towels so threadbare one ripped in half as I was drying myself.... more

After reading mixed reviews for this hotel, I didn't really know what to expect... However, it was a great location for a night out in the Hackney/ Dalston area (planty of bus stops along the road). Beds were very clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless too (although the extractor fan was laughably noisy). The walls are thin but... more

After reading the other reviews I was actually dreading my stay at this hotel! I booked it as I was on a limited budget for a last minute jaunt to London and it was pretty much the only hotel in my price range. We couldn't find how to get there at first and pulled into the garage. As I walked... more

I'm an extremely discerning traveller (see my other reviews) but I must say that this hotel really isn't as bad as the reviews here, what on earth do people expect for £37 for a double room in London? We always stay at this hotel when we're attending the Lovebox Weekender in Victoria park due to its proximity to the festival... more

I’m afraid this hotel is as bad as the reviews it’s getting. Thank goodness I only stayed one night, and that was because it was to late to book in to anywhere else. The location of the hotel is not the best, its hidden away and finding the entrance is a bit of an exercise. The lounge, lobby and stairwell... more

I started reading reviews after I had already booked it. I was quite concerned about the location, the staff and the room itself. Fortunately, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The hotel is a 15-minute fast walk from the nearest tube station. I walked at night and was not concerned at all (a lot of churches on the... more

The worst hotel ever!!!They try to fool you by having a nice lobby, with tiles. They make you sign a contact of stay and then you go to your room to the horror that awaits you. The room- FILTHY, smell of urine, stained headboard, dirty sheets, smelly pillow, filthy carpet, rude and unhelpful staff. I had to sleep with the... more

All these bad reviews compelled me to write a review of my own because we found the hotel to be a perfectly fine cheap hotel. We were a couple with a 13-year old. The furniture -- a couple of bedside tables and a bureau -- was a little dingy and broken down, but the room and bathroom were perfectly clean.... more
