As the title says, I don't think you can expect a great deal. I needed a place to stay in central London, as close to Victoria as possible and for that this place deserves one big tick, as you could not get much closer. Booked through easy2book and got a confirmation directly from the hotel soon after. The rate was paid in advance. On arrival given a key to the front door and another to the room which was two floors up overlooking the road. The carpet in the room was grubby, you won't be sleeping on it so bring slippers. The bedding however was very clean and each bed had a brand new clean white towel. The sink in the corner at the foot of one of the beds was a bit awkward to access but had instant hot water. The one radiator in the room worked maybe too well and the window was left open to keep the temperature more moderate. TV had the basic channels and one was fuzzy. There is internet provided in the breakfast room in the basement, I did not use the facility. There was a shared bathroom off the small landing and the bathroom a floor lower looked better. Yes there may be a bit of mould here or there, some cracks, some dated carpet or indeed for the most part seriously over painted walls and woodwork, but if you want somewhere dry and very warm with a hot running tap, in a fantastic location, I doubt you'd find anything for the price much better. I would not advise this property to anyone inform, there are steps up from the street, only a few but inside there are many more. If you are open minded and realistic about what £30 gets you in London, you won't be to distressed. Have a look at Kings Cross, you could do far worse.
