Seriously disgusting. Due to the late nature of our booking we had to pay a very high price. Hence thought, that we’d have a sort of normal hotel. However, this wasn’t at all the case! It Was dirty, old, the window in the bathroom could not be closed ( It was -7°C), There were several hairs from strangers in the bed when we arrived…. I could go on and on

Horrible. There was dirt everywhere, there was hair in the bed and the trash cans weren't emptied. It was also cold in the room and you couldn't close the windows properly. Also very noisy.

Was pretty standard, Wasn't dirty or anything. soundproofing was pretty good as there was a party in the park over the road but you can't hear it with closed windows.Was not going to stay because of bad reviews but it's actually pretty decent. Had trouble with shower being a little hot, and had to park a little further away.

Location is the only good thing about it. Good place to run to the police station in any need.Ridiculous horrid, and filthy bedroom AND bathroom. Bed linens had hair and stains.OUTRAGEOUS ROOM SERVICE: after the room was ‘cleaned’ it was even dirtier than before.The bathroom door couldn’t even shut! The taps were MOULDY and GREASY. A low pressure shower with JUST ONE temperature setting. Sharp edges on the beds frame were TAPED! TAPED! Not good enough. Disappointing.Don’t even get me started on the disgusting floor. Barely any ventilation in the room. Definitely NOT value for money. The towels were appalling. The closest was broken!! Not planning on recommending to any of my friends who regularly come to this end of London.Would give no stars if I couldI don’t need your thanks for any feedback. 😊

The first night a mouse came out from under the bed, after calling the manager 3 times he told us that the next day he would see what he could do. Of course we packed up and left. The stay was refunded to me, but the managers of the facility, to avoid making me review the incident, declared on the site where I booked that we did not show up, "but since they are good-hearted they still refunded us the entire amount without withholding even what is due." Very bad.

In a lovely area but not the nicest place to stay its alright if you just want somewhere to rest say for a gig like me and my partner did but don't be expecting anything about it to be better than "okay I guess?? It'll do for now I suppose"

Avoid at all costs! Performed a Bait and Switch on me - Booked this hotel via hotels.com being told throughout the location was within 1 mile of the embankment, confirmation received the week prior has the location across London in Peckham (6.5 miles further away) this made it completely unsuitable for my needs (needing to be at embankment at 5:30 am) and because they have a 'month in advance' cancellation policy I have potentially lost £000s based on them not disclosing their location honestly. Totally misrepresented their services to me and now won't even communicate with me to discuss.Looking at the reviews on here, it appears that the hotel is not of a great quality anyway, never cleaned, beds in bad state, building falling down. as I said avoid at all costs.

Worse than any student accommodation or bedsit. Very scruffy and noisy. ||Constant banging and people shouting and chatting.||Just awful. Glad I'm only here for one night.||Wish I'd booked somewhere else.

Absolutely filthy rooms! There only seems to be one member of staff and he clearly hadn't hoovered or cleaned anything before we came in. The toilet was left unclean (public hair unfurling delightfully across the bowl) and there was more hair and grease and all kinds of other filth over the bedroom floor. The receptionist started kind and friendly but then became rude and defensive. Won't be hurrying back here. Absolutely not worth £70 a night. I ended up cleaning the toilet myself - I should bill the management.

Great little hotel with an excellent location. I everything I needed was a stones throw away. So convenient within a block or two in any direction - the busline, train station, post I office, laundry facilities, phone repair currency exchange, restaurants, pubs, grocery stores, and the icing on the cake; a vegan bakery around the corner. Who could ask for more? Not I. The convenience helped me reduce my carbon footprint. I walked and walked and loved everything and every step. A highly recommended hotel and area.

I spent four nights here during a business trip to Central London & Bromley. It was very well placed for both and commuting was very easy. Driving out to Bromley was actually quite pleasant despite the traffic.Getting into London was easy from here by the nearby Queens Rd Overground.There’s also a shop just round the corner too.I note some people were somehow a bit put off by the area but it seemed pleasant enough & generally people seemed reasonably friendly ( keep in mind it is London!! ).The rooms were nice and spacious and I chose to dine in a couple of nights.The people on Reception seemed cheery and friendly too.
