Stay far away from this place. I stayed in room 103, the room above us as they showered leaked through into our bathroom every time. Mold in the bathroom roof since the leaks, holes, cracks everywhere. …

Budget accommodation at its worst! Four days in a row, our room hasn’t been cleaned. We don’t expect the ritz but fresh towels, toilet paper and clean mugs would be appreciated! …

Absolutely disgusting! The room I stayed at was completely filthy and stunk.I had a terrible experience at this Hotel. The staff was rude and unhelpful, and the bed was mediocre at best. I would not recommend this place to anyone. …

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights. I read all the previous reviews, wo I was, of course, skeptical. We arrived at noon, whereas check-in wasn't until 3 PM. However, the receptionist was really nice and let us check in for a small fee (£20).There are no elevators, and the stairs are quite slim. We stayed in room 104. The room is quite small, with a queen-sized bed and a bathroom. Despite what people say on here, the room was quite clean. The bedside drawer was partially broken.Other things that didn't work: The shower handle (there's an over-the-head showerhead) & the remote control. There was a hole in the bathroom door. The walls are also quite thin and you can practically hear everything.So much for the bad. As I mentioned, the room was clean, and the water wasn't boiling hot. It took about 5min to warm up though. The hotel staff was excellent and very welcoming.

We left the hotel almost immediately after seeing the room, which was disgusting and unhygienic. Every corner of it was covered in mould and you could feel the moisture in the air. …

I booked at this hotel because I needed a place to stay overnight after a concert at the Royal Albert Hall and I wanted it to be inexpensive and a walking distance from the venue. …

The only thing that even allows this hotel to get a “1-star” is the fact that it is right by Earl’s Court, which is quite nice. However, if you expect to have WiFi that reaches the room, questions about the city to ask reception, or expect a clean room, save an extra tenner and go down the street to Premier Inn. The room was in shambles, the sheets were clearly unwashed. The bed was loud and springy, not to mention the paper thin walls. The bathroom was a tiny room that had a terrific stench, mould, and the shower only ran on boiling hot. Finally, the train, every 2 minutes there is a train that goes by. If you expect to sleep, you can’t here. All things considered, don’t stay here. If any part of you says “it can’t be that bad”, let me tell you, IT CAN.

the service here is absolutely terrible. For what we paid for, The room itself was fine. Not nice or comfortable, but fine for a sleep and a shower in a decent location.We notified the hotel we would check in between 11pm-12am which they replied yes to, and were surprised to see that we needed to check in at a completely different hotel about 5 min walking distance, The Cromwell International. When we got there, we had a professional and short interaction with the receptionist. Then, later that night I was surprised to see I received an Instagram follow request from the same receptionist. So he used my personal information to find me on Instagram. Super unprofessional and creepy! To top it all off, he RE REQUESTED to follow me the next day after I did not accept his request!!Then, checking out was another fiasco. When we went to pay, my card was approved, then the receptionist voided the payment and said my card declined. I tried multiple different cards and the same thing kept happening. We suggested he may have been processing it incorrectly by voiding the payment after it was approved, but he simply ignored us and told us to pay in cash which we did not have and then instructed us to the nearest ATM. We ultimately ended up paying at the other hotel we checked in at which he had a staff member follow us to, and the payment was processed without issue. Super inconvenient and wasted an hour of our only day in London. Would not recommend this hotel …..
