Well what can I say! If you fancy a dose of bed bugs, scabies & Severe chest allergies then this Dive is the place for you! We visited booked in, saw the state of EVERY room as the manager tried to move us numerous times. Each one layered in dust thicker than the manager himself. Worst 90 minutes of our life! Hills Have Eyes have nothing on this place! Windows all smashed, Wiping your feet on the way OUT of your rooms never a good thing.All in all I've seen cleaner and healthier crackdens than this place.... GROSS

We checked in and had a whole talk about how the place is non smoking yet we walked into our bedroom that wreaked of smoke despite the window being wide open. We were also "upgraded" to a larger room due to others extending their stay. The bed frame looked like it would snap if we sat on the bed, the shower was mouldy, the flooring was torn, the floors clearly dirty not even the minimal effort of sweeping, overall the rooms are grim. Shared bathrooms had a weekly and hourly cleaning schedule to look as if they clean although nobody had initialed any of the spots to show they actually cleaned.Very cheap for London and decent location, but overall would never stay there ever again.

I can't begin to describe conditions here. We were shown to our room and immediately left and booked elsewhere . The floors were sticky and the overall feeling was grimey. The bed base was covered in stains with sheets that were also stained. The crowning glory was what appeared to be rodent and other type of pest catcher in the corner of the room. Would not advise booking here.

Non smoking rooms covered in cigarette butts/odour, very dirty floors, out dated TVs gives the feel of being in a strangers house. Don't waste your money pay an extra £10-20 and stay somewhere that acually deserves a 1 star rating.

Seems unfair to give a low rating to an already self proclaimed 2-star hotel when you know what you're getting yourself into.The staff were lovely, facilities weren't as bad as the other reviews were saying and the family room I booked was really spacious.Only downside is the price and communal bathroom. It wasn't "filthy" though.Everything else was fine

This hotel is registered as thornton Lodge limited with Companies house.It is a registered with the QCC to offer housing to homeless and down and outs.wnd social care. Even if it's not top star it should not be contaminated with pests and vermin.
