While this hotel is undoubtably in a wonderful location, close to the tube and on a road containing more than one Aston Marton, the place itself is a dive.

Our bathroom had a sink which was too small even for brushing your teeth, a shower which had been sealed incredibly badly and seemingly patched up (which would explain the huge damp patches and mould on the ceiling in various points throughout the hotel). Oh and the toilet seat wouldn't stay up!!

The room itself had "curtains" which were full of holes and falling off the hooks, letting so much light in we couldn't sleep. They genuinely looked moth-eaten. Our blanket was full of cigarette burns and the whole room stank of damp.

To add insult to injury, my husband decided to watch TV while I was in the shower. Yes, there was a TV as we had been told BUT the aerial plug was missing from the end of its cable, having been seemingly pulled off exposing bare wires. This added to the other bare wires and dodgy DIY fix jobs we saw elsewhere in the place.

We had to wait around 15 or 20 minutes in a queue for breakfast, and then I had to wait another 10 minutes or so for my toast. My husband tells me the fried breakfast was the only good thing about the hotel and was fairly enjoyable!!

We didn't sleep well during our stay and were glad to leave!

Well for the price paid this was a fairly standard hotel, it was a little taty in places but our room was ok, the bed was fine and the building was quite grand, just in need of some tlc.
The area was very nice and it was close to a tube station, about what you would expect for this price in London.
If you are delicate about your surroundings then perhaps not for you but about the standard you would expect from an older hostel.
Bareable really.

I stayed here with a few friends from Uni at the beginning of April. 10th and 11th and I found it to be good value for money. OK its not the Ritz but what can you expect for the Money particularly given that breakfast was included in the price.

Its also located in a really nice park of London. Which is unusual as most budget Hotels tend to be located in less affluent areas.

Anyway, i would stay here again. Its clean, ok its basic but its worth more than I paid any day.

As you can see in the candid photo, it's just a broken house with rooms for travellers. The reception counter is just a small table. There were painting dropping off from the wall in the reception area. You can see electric cables coming out from the wall. There were nothing in the room except your bed, an old TV and a broken wardrobe. There was only 2 soaps provided in the toilet. The breakfast was cold and no one was going to refill if the trays were empty. The tea was cold as well. The staff were not friendly. I just felt like being in a haunted house there.
