Picked up a late booking as I needed somewhere cheap in London to avoid travelling in bad weather the next morning - found this hotel for c£50. Remembering that you get what you pay for, I was pleased that the room was clean, had good TV and tea/coffee facilities,had a lift to my room (important as I carry a lot... More

As always excellent hotel, very clean and friendly and made to feel at home. Staff are very helpful and assisit in whatever way they can. The breakfast is now self service and few little problems, but nothing untowards. Many thanks for a lovely visit.

I was taking my wife to Paris on the Eurostar from Kings Cross and booked this hotel for the night before. It was £100 for one night so not even cheap. I was never so embarrassed.

This hotel has a poor quality. We stayed in a room for 2 persons, and it felt claustrophobic. The bed was old and had wheels underneath it and it made so much noise. The closets were old and broken.
