    Great spot for when you just need a place to sleep & clean up!

    Honestly can’t say there was a lot I didn’t like. I knew I was getting a budget hotel so anything that wasn’t amazing was to be expected - reception staff wasn’t 24/7, space wasn’t like ~luxurious~ - but literally I just needed a place to sleep and there’s certainly much worse spaces!

    It was a really solid room for the price! Bed was pretty comfy, room was clean, and staff was friendly. It was in a really nice location and felt safe. Really accessible by public transit and near some decent bars, restaurants, and shops.

    Didn’t like the location of the room, right near entrance, so I constantly heard people going in and out. Also when ironing the rust came out from iron with the water, so I stained my shirt a little

    The location, the receptionist lady, the room itself was pretty good too

    Room 101 should have a single bed in so that you have room to walk around bed , large damp patches in corner above wardrobe , not one of there better rooms

    Have stayed here many times and always been happy with the size of my room , this time room 101 was quite small the only place to sit and dry your hair so that you can use the mirror is in the little hall way, and you can only use this mirror if you have a long lead , need another mirror on wall in bedroom . Room has microwave and fridge , you would have to eat your food sitting on your bed.

    A little worn in places (door frame of bathroom for example) and noise level of other occupants was a little disruptive during the later hours

    Such a convenient location literally just 4mins from Kensington Olympia. Staff were so friendly and though room was small you cannot complain about the price and how cosy / comfortable it was

    You have to pay a £100 deposit which is NOT clear on booking’s website. I knew ahead of time because of reviews. You also HAVE TO HAVE a bank card to pay this deposit otherwise they can’t check it in please note. I confirmed this with the reception. You will eventually get it back, but most transactions take I think 7 days so you won’t get your money back for a few days The main thing that would deter me from here is that deposit. More hangers are needed. There was only one in my room. Ironing board was flimsy but hey Walls are thin so beware The bathroom could do with a place to put towels. The space is quite limited

    Okay. I guess I didn’t mind the size of the room I got. Hotel rooms in London are never big anyway so it was decent. I also had a window that was nice The lighting was good. So you’ll have enough light for makeup which was important for me as I was dressing up

    Very noisy neighbour (I was in room 302). It was raining and appears that room has the rain drop on ‘something’ outside which meant quite noisy.

    Location excellent. Price was great as we are small company.

    It was warm and not well ventilated/air conditioned. The safe broke down. No staff available on site in the mornings. I had to wait 25 minutes. Luggage could be stored before check-in, but at another hotel at a 5-minute walk from there. The elevator was very old. Only tea available, no coffee.
