Stayed for three nights back in September. The staff was very friendly. The guy working the night shift printed my flight tickets. There is an Internet cafe around the corner, but still, that was very nice of him. Place is small, but clean, in a great location. 5 min walk to the train/bus depot. Would definitely go back! More

Stayed here for one night during the week. Check-in was quick and easy. We had booked the room on the hotel's webpage and after the receptionist checked the register we were handed the key to the room. We had a double room which was small but clean. There was tea and coffee making facilities in the room along with a... More

We thank you for the points you have raised. We will review the option of providing a wardrobe in the room. It is always a balance between free space and services provided. More

Hi, I booked the hotel based on the pictures on various website including their own website. When i went there we were totally disappointed. The room was very very small, bed squeaking, bathroom smaller then my ward-robe. If they had advertised as a B&B it would have made sense but i would not have paid the GBP 75 as I... More

We were disappointed to read your reviews. However we are constrained by the size of the buildings in Central London. It is always difficult to maintain a decent balance between free space and provide all the necessary facilities that our customer expect and prefer. We are constantly reviewing this. A majority of our guests are happy and we have a... More

We appreciate your comments. We have some cheaper rooms where the toilets are shared but the majority of our rooms have en-suite facilities. We have advertised and provide a continental breakfast, which is included in the tariff. There are plenty of cafes nearby which provide English breakfast at a good price. Our aim is to provide clean and comfortable accommodation... More

I was very pleasantly surprised with the comfort of the room and the en suite facilities. The decoration and the furniture was not recent but both produced a feeling that was pleasant and accommodating. The hotel is well served with late-night corner shops, pubs and restaurants in the proximity and the shopping centre at Victoria station is two minutes walk... More

Stayed for 2 nights, the room is very small and bathroom really compact. It is generally clean but the place could do with freshen up, the bathroom smell quite bad because it so small. It is a very basic hotel. The fire security system was puzzling because I had the receptionist guy knocking on my door on the second evening... More

Stayed here for one night with my Mum after a show in town..it was a cheaper option but it would have been nice to have had a little more comfort.

The customer has exaggerated all his concerns. We have been established for over 21 years and enjoy average occupancy levels of over 95%, with lots of happy repeat customers. If we were as bad as the review suggests, we would be out of business. As far as the theft is concerned, we had a full police inspection as we were... More
