Just terrible with stinky smell. Not even think about staying there. Too small room, no TV, and bunk beds. The only good thing is that when we threatened to leave they took us to another hotel, slightly better.

Don't go if you wish to spend your travel in a small, cramp and dirty place.The overall cleanness of the room is awful with visible dust and stain all over the blanket and carpet. Floor and the towel provided feels unclean and even smelly in the beginning. Room itself is very basic. No workable internet and TV. The floor is uneven, so is the bed. And we were given a tiny room with no space for a large luggage. Kitchenette is dirty and felt uncleaned since last guests. So is the toilet. I even found a bottle of piss under the sink.Most importantly, the host will downgrade your room if they have a smaller one. I booked a double bed studio in the first place, but the host gave us a tiny single room that looked completely different from the pictures on their website. The hosts insists she was right when we asked about the matter. Two days later we were told to change room because someone booked the small room.Overall, don't book unless you're expecting to have a minimum quality.

Friendly staff. There was a very sweet lady whom received me even though I arrived quite late.The location is great. Easy access to public transportation.The price is ok for what you get. Nothing luxurious but just what you need. And the view to the park is just great for an early morning. I can totally recommend it

We spent 6 nights in this tiny hotel. Location is the best! Only 10-12 rooms in total and all are tiny but cozy. We had the second level room with the only balcony which was beautiful.The host was very nice!Good price and close to Paddington station(4 mins walk), red tube line(8mins walk and take you to central London).

this is a hostel without basic privacy, all you have is a room with no toilet or shower inside, and the window is facing a wall because its a basement. the owner is not candid about this on the time of booking, and let us know only on the day we arrived. this is a very low level placed, priced as an apartment. stay away.we fled the place first thing in the morning after a terrible night.

Solid place to stay, but it's certainly on the quiet side. Management is very helpful. Toilet can be confounding, though.
