Dont stay here. This hotel is one of the worse I have ever stayed in London. It's a total rip off, the noise is awful, it smells and there are unidentiifed stains on the carpets and walls. Do yourself a favour and pay the little extra for something better. More

My boyfriend and I were celebrating his birthday and our 2 year anniversary. We both live in London but we're not from London so we thought staying in the heart of the city away from our flats would be nice. It was a fantastic location, particularly as Old Street/Angel is one of our favourite places to go out at night.... More

My personal opinion, don't stay here unles you are absolutely forced to. The web pictures are misleading and thankfully we only stayed for one night (solely due to other hotels in the area being fully booked (London Fashion Week)). In hindsight we should have booked into the other hotel that we had considered miles away near Waterloo (cheaper but one... More

The room was small dirty, looked like it had not been decorated for 15 years. The window had been painted in the open position and therefore left a 12inch gap open and fixed. The only protection was a secondary double glazed unit which was ineffficent. The heating did not work at all, the fridge stank and was loud, the kettle... More

Cheap but shabby. Ask for a quiet room at the back or you will stay awake all night. Breakfast poor but bathroom good and clean room, if tiny. Spend a few pounds more for a room only deal elsewhere and eat at a cheap cafe. More

The small double room was clean and fresh and the shower was excellent. There were tea/coffee making facilities, a smashing hair dryer, two good sized mirrors, enough clothes storage space, an extra work surface with stool and loads of electrical sockets. Staff very helpful. More
