Hotel was alright and did the job. It defo ain't worth £200 a night. It's worth a max of £60 a night. I originally booked Woodland Lodge but I didn't know it has now become a Emergency Accommodation for people living in a Council flat so they had no room available so I was shifted here for the night

Once we arrived at the hotel we were told that our room was in another building about a 3-4 min walk from lucky8 hotel. We were also asked for a £100 deposit instead of £50. However I decided not to spoil my trip and just put up with it. BUT I was left fascinated. The room was clean and tidy, they cleaned every day! The hamper was changed every day! New towels every day! I said okay, I'll regret the deposit, the room was clean after all. We went home and a week later the deposit was in my account! The deposit was returned!! I didn't expect it, after all the comments I read, I didn't even have hope but the deposit is indeed returned. You just don't get a notification of money being transferred and if you don't keep track of your account balance you may not notice the money is back in your account. I also spoke to the bank who confirmed the information the hotel gave me. No payment was ever made to them. The deposit stays in your account, you just don't see the money. The hotel is very close to a metro stop, which makes getting around much easier. The only thing I didn't like was the breakfast, there was almost no choice, you can do without it. There had been some confusion and their system said we didn't have breakfast, however after I showed the confirmation from agoda, they saw we had paid for breakfast and added us in right away even though we didn't have breakfast at the hotel.I certainly recommend the hotel :) don't be afraid for your deposit. If there is no damage to the room the hotel will refund your money :)
