Avoid this scam hotel at all costs. I can't believe this place is still allowed to operate after wrongfully scamming people out of their deposits. The staff are rude and aggressive. The manager is the worst kind of human. …

4 day and 3 night stay.ESSENTIAL: THEY ASK FOR A DEPOSIT OF £100.Fairly clean rooms and very friendly and helpful staff.Beds and pillows not very comfortable, but luckily tiredness allowed us to collapse immediately.The hairdryer doesn't work very well and neither does the air conditioner.The adaptable sockets are very nice, USB is also present.Location not very convenient, only bus 9 arrives nearby.The deposit was returned approximately 12 hours after the check out deadline.However, the prices are excellent compared to other hotels in London.

The room was too tight fit. Nearly no walking space. The bathroom, impossibly small.Cleaning service left the sink dirtier than it was before we left.No one in reception. No answer through the booking app, through WhatsApp or through calls even though I could see someone was online.I was completely ignored.Also, there was already food in the fridge from a previous guest when we arrived and I suspect the sheets were already used as there were hairs under the duvet.It’s located too far away from the city. 30 min by car, 40 walking. There’s a tube station nearby.Edit: was not allowed a late check out. Understandable due to late notice but still we were autorized to leave by 11:30am. We left before that and was charged the £100 deposit.Messages through what’s app were answered an hour and a half after calling at least 7 times with someone online. My call was being rejected.Messages through booking were not answered at all; only to announce we were being charged the deposit for our “late check out.”Clearly we’re being charged the late check out we did not have for a bad review.
