I will be the most real as possible with this review: People are OVER EXAGGERATING with their other reviews so here is how it really is:|When you come in to the reception, you'll see a desk and a lovely sitting area - similar to a concierge …

It was alright for the price. The room was a bit shady but i guess that’s what you can expect for £50 a night. It was a bit disgusting how dirty everything was though. Also the staff was nice at first but they kept staring at me very weirdly every time i walked by. The night before the check out i was told my check out is til 11:30 but i could stay til 12pm but at exactly 11:30 someone knocked at my door that i had to leave. I mean it’s okay but a little disrespectful if you tell me it’s okay to stay til 12.The location is also not the best. It always took like an hour to get to the city which was a bit annoying but all in all alright.The neighbourhood in general is a bit creepy. The room looks nothing like in the pictures on the website it’s darker and kinda shady. Also the door didn’t really shut sometimes you had to really pull it quite hard so it would shut completely. But that’s okay i guess.There was a window but that only opened to a hallway so i never had fresh air in the room and no daylight. It was all a bit depressing. I will definitely not be going back there next time I visit London.

It’s not exactly the Ritz but for £50 it’s not the worst. The pillow was like a brick which wasn’t ideal and my window was just the staff outside area. Also the shower head was broken so was a nightmare navigating that. But all in all would potentially go again

Just don’t book. Feels very unsafe, especially as females. You aren’t allowed to keep your own room key when you leave the premises, very unsafe and unnerving. …

Really nice staff, super affordable rooms. Could do with slightly better cleaning but I would still recommend this place for anyone on a budget. The street outside is old school east London too which I really appreciated. Check out the jellied eels across the street and try to forget about that weird Japanese movie you saw as a teenager with the eels you know the one

This hotel is not a hotel, it is a scam! Beyond any hotel standards. The description of amenities does not match reality. There is no air conditioning, no breakfast in the hotel! There wasn't even ventilation in my room... there was a window, but it opened outwards only to the corridor... The bathroom (sic!) is a shower cubicle with a toilet bowl and sink installed inside... Some of the furniture in the room was just dirty.

5 stars all round. Look. Here’s the deal with this place. If you’re coming here on holiday and want a full hotel experience. Then yes, you’re going to be disappointed. But if you want a place to lay your head down for a very reasonable price with no expectations, then this is the one. I give this place 5 stars all round. Nice staff, good facilities, a place to crash. Don’t listen to the haters

It's small hotel in Roman Street with cozy environment. Staff is good and cooperative. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is not provided there, have to dine out. A Turkish cafeteria opposite to hotel have good quality food. There's nearby 1 minute walk a bus station to move easily on the otherwise can get a rent a car or Uber which is costly.

Well, first of all, this what it's called a hotel, is one of the cheapest in London, 50£ or so (March 2023).If you are looking for a cheap stay regardless of service or room amenity, then this is for you, otherwise try to forgo this hotel.I got a room in the basement or celar with locked window. There's nothing outside to look at, maybe a wall since you are in the basement, but what I mean is, there are no ventilation. The room stinks disgustfully like hell of ash-tray. Like someone was smoking the whole year and as said window is locked and no ventilation.The less than 1m² toilet with built-in shower has at least an exhaust air - this doesn't help to get fresh air. The room is just a large ash-tray.Normally I would review with one star, but because it's cheap, two stars.There's a near bus station taking you to the tube.

The room was nothing like it is shown in the pictures, barely got a greeting on arrival. TV remote didn't work at first, no blacony as per booking. Also the front of house staff were up in the reception area until around 12-1am making a fair amount of noise. So if you need to be up early do not stay here
