Location is brilliant, very central. Place is the dirtiest hotel I’ve stayed in, flies as soon as you enter the building. Our bathroom was very mouldy. That being said, you get what you pay for and the staff were really friendly.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Not in great condition. Mould in the bathroom, no light bulb in a lamp, the cupboards bolted down, and a very springy bed. But sticky and some ants. Great location so able to get out to London attractions quickly which was main reason for purchase. For a cheaper stay than other accommodation close by, but wouldn't book this for a luxury getaway that's for sure.
