After we had booked this hotel, I found this sight and read the reviews, I was horrified to read some of them. In fact I cried for days before we actually arrived here, as I didn't want to go, however we had saved a long time for this holiday.We had also spent a fortune on all the attraction tickets, so didn't want to lose all our money from not going. At 1st glance we were very shocked to see how run down this place was.. The room we had was in the basement.. ROOM 3 .Very small , my husband stood in the middle of the room , put his arms out and was able to touch both walls at the same time.. The on-suite was extremely small. When getting into shower you had to leave bathroom door open, get into shower then close, bathroom door before you closed shower door. The carpets could have done with a good clean. The kettle flex didn't reach the socket, so I had to sit on the bed holding it until it had boiled. We soon got used to it. However this is all the negative stuff about this place. The staff were very friendly & helpful. In fact we spent many a night, after returning to hotel, about 9:30 ish. Downstairs chatting to the night clerk. Whom we became very good friends with before we left. The bedding was changed everyday. Including the towels, which we never used, as we had taken our own.The bin in room was changed everyday as well. The room didn't smell. Big plus was we didn't have any bedbugs, or any other insects sharing our room or using us for a meal as we slept. We were close to all the attractions, short walk to the tube station. We never had breakfast at the hotel, so I can't comment on that. Instead we went every morning to a local cafe, just outside Victoria coach station. To have a full English for £5 each. I said last year on leaving that I would go back here as long as we could have the same room. We are returning in a few days to London, unfortunately we couldn't get rooms again here, as this time we are taking our youngest boy with us, so no room. This hotel is okay after a long day trailing around London, just to have a shower, then bed, to sleep before another hectic day. At the end of the day, we only wanted somewhere to sleep with clean bedding, that wouldn't break our budget etc. We got exactly what we paid for.
