    Hard to fault at the price but the property did feel a little run down.

    The location was perfect, just a short 15 min walk to the Excel. Tesco Express and restaurants near by and within 5 mins of a DLR station. Comfy double bed in a large room. Mary the host was superb and very laid back which I liked.

    Well it was a shared bathroom which was clean and had toiletries provided ! It was the fact that the sink tap was rather wobbly and that the shower hose had to be hand held as you shower due to it not having a working hose holder that worked.however thst is only minor things!

    It was on an ideal location for going to the O2 arena with the bonus of going over the Thames by cable car!

    My one-night stay in this private room was excellent! The room was impeccably clean, with a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom. The location was also convenient to the Excel exhibition centre. The host (Mary) was incredibly responsive and friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I would definitely recommend this property to other travelers!

    Nothing to criticize. You get what you pay for.

    The room was clean, pretty basic but decent enough for short stays. Close to the tube station. Has a kitchen downstairs, can make yourself tea, coffee. Our host was pretty prompt in responses to our messages. We personally didn't have any contact with the host. But clear instructions were provided for self check in.

    Bedroom and washroom were clean. It was affordable too

    Wasn't aware of the shared bathroom / toilet, which was on the 1st floor.

    The location was 5 minutes walk from the DLR (Royal Victoria) in a quite and plush neighbourhood. Host Mary was very accommodating and courteous. Will surely revisit

    Grubby and only take cash or bank transfer

    Bed was like a rock and has plastic sheet on mattress under main sheet. Very uncomfortable and noisy if moved around on bed. Went to use bathroom and there was poop on the toilet. No brush to give it a quick clean because let's face it, a smidge of poop can happen in a shared bathroom. Ventured to find the kitchen for a fork to eat my dinner and the kettle to make a drink. Again everything was grubby. Every surface needs a good wipe and I decided to switch off the light and back away. Cool looking bedside clock/lamp/phone charger but had no charge cable to plug it in. No plug socket there anyway! I had to.use my phone as a torch to turn off the main light by the door to get to the bed. After no sleep because of bed and my asthma reacting to the dirt I got up ready to prepare for.the day. Shower over bath crusted in timescale and the bath to stand in had brown water stains. I cleaned the bath before trying to have a shower. Floor around and under toilet was dirty and stained. Clean patch is where I put a towel.down to stand on after the my attempt to shower. Shower dribbles so unable.to.wash hair. I was then overtired, struggling to breathe and had yucky hair. I decided to leave instead of staying my 2nd night which meant a last minute booking costing me more money than I would have paid. Note that they do NOT take card payments. On arrival I was asked for cash or bank transfer and the details were sent to me. I will be honest and I have not paid for this room for either night. I did offer feedback directly and to go through customer services if the owner wished to discuss me making a payment but I have not had any contact from them to discuss further.

    Owner lovely and welcoming. Bedding and towels white and clean. Heating works well.

    Kitchen was full of moulded food, didn’t look like it had been cleaned for a very long time. The kettle also had a lot of scale so I suggest you don’t rely on any kitchen utensils or appliances.

    Bedroom was nice and clean, bathroom also comfortable. Area wasn’t touristy at all so it felt unique and local.
