Not as bad as previous reviews had. It’s a budget hotel. The room was tiny. The corridors and doors were tiny. You get nothing if you don’t ask for it, ie clean towels and tea and sugar. But otherwise it’s cheap and close to town.

I was given a ground floor room with no windows. The room looked like an old store room, painted in a dark colour and desperately needed repainting throughout. The furniture was sparse and dated. The bathroom sink was so small you couldnt get the kettle under the tap to fill it. It was so cold however there was a wall heater. Although advertised with hairdryer, there was not one in the room however one was obtained from another room. the lift did not work for those staying on upper floors, they had to carry bags up a staircase. Very disappointed.

The deluxe double room was no bigger than a large wardrobe! If I had swung a cat I would have smashed its head in !! The shower was tiny , I’m a large framed man and just squeezed into it , once in I couldn’t move , the shower head was fixed and aimed at the ceiling, I had to remove it from it’s cradle to get myself wet , the tv was no bigger than a mobile phone , it definitely needs to be decorated , the paint was aged and grubby , I feel the description on your website is very misleading , on the plus side , it was warm and clean

Don’t book it unless you have to, you can’t use the toilet without hitting the sink or you have to let the door open , also the shower is tight you can’t even clean your body properly. The bed wasn’t clean as well as the pillow have stains and hair. The location was good , it’s close to paddington station

Absolute dump and ripoff
This place is an absolute dump and not worth the money spent. I usually stay at the Park Grand nearby but it was booked out so I tried this place as the pictures made it look modern. Pictures were very deceptive. Room was tiny nowhere to open baggage... Everything worn and dirty stains all over the walls and floors, no working tv, no air con, room was so hot and stuffy I barely slept. Bathroom awkwardly designed like a closet, couldnt sit on toilet properly... Rooms noisey, one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in barely worth 30 pound a night let alone the 129 the charged me.

Avoid this place
This place was not worth the money. There are so many things wrong with this place. We had people trying our door all day and night. The bathroom had black mold in it. I booked a room for two and there was only enough supplies in the room for one. The toilet had a crack in the seat. Every time you sit down it would pinch you. The keys on the room would keep resetting. Really irritating when you are in a place for three days and you have to go to the front desk multiple times a day. The last thing I will say but the is a whole lot more is every where you look there are signs that says the hotel is not responsible for stolen items. Are you have that many issues!? You can tell they don’t invest any money back into this place.

The room was disgusting. The bed sheets were clearly dirty, the carpet was filthy, the walls were stained, the entire bathroom was unclean with no soap, shower gel, or shampoo provided. The shower was dangerous. It suddenly goes from cold to boiling hot and never settles into a consistent temperature. I stayed for two nights and the room was never attended to or clean sheets provided. I had to request replacement toilet roll. On the whole, the worst experience I have ever had in a hotel.
