We had a room on the upper floor and the final set of stairs was so scary and dangerous, I was terrified of falling. The room was very small for two people. It was very hot up there and even with our window open all day it wouldn’t cool down.The beds were terrible. Mine was way too soft and the mattress left a dent when I laid in it. I asked them to switch my mattress which I then did myself because there was no staff to do it. The mattresses kept sliding of our beds as well.The bathroom was tiny and we had to climb over the toilet to get into the shower. After two days our toilet also stopped flushing properly.The wifi worked absolutely terribly since most of the time it didn’t work.The area was not quiet at all since it was close to a fire station so there were sirens all throughout the night.I don't understand these reviews because I wouldn’t recommend and wouldn’t stay here again.

Clearly the place has recently been both redecorated and refurbished to a very decent standard. Our room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, a perfect size and comprised a fantastic en suite bathroom. …

A really nice little hotel with easy access to Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush. The room was small but clean. The shower didn't have very good pressure and the towels were small but we were happy here. The staff were friendly and helpful. …

Perfect for my one night stay for work in London. Receptionist was friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Bed was small but very comfy with ample pillows. Decent shower. Walking distance to the tube and a number of places to eat. Good price. No frills but just what I needed.
