Worst place ever. Don’t waste your money.

It was the worst place I’ve ever stayed, and I have backpacked in New Delhi. Didn’t get a code despite having checked in online twice because my card hadn’t gone through. Why didn’t they ring??? Fire exit blocked. Fire door sign upside down behind the junk on the floor. Toilet filthy, no toilet paper. Shower ghastly, broken, didn’t drain, drain cover missing, standing water and a vile smell. No room to undress unless you stand in the shower. Fire safety notices in rooms not filled in. Window filthy and broken, repaired with tacky back. No soap or plug and another foul smell when the tap was run. Scaffolding outside so anyone could get in. All paint chipped and peeling. Walls and floor filthy. No mattress protector. Safe not fixed to wall. One cup which was cracked and dirty. Noisy floor and door. Sensor for lights didn’t work until second floor had to use my phone on the stairs. Finally -that awful crack den painting!!!! Chipped and foul. See pics I posted, not the hotel ones, don’t know where they took those.

At 8pm arrival, reception was closed and the doors were locked and there were no responses to the phone numbers posted when we called. I found an email in my spam they had sent (from a different email) hours earlier with a code to enter. No staff to be found. The shower wouldn't drain, so it was unusable. There were bugs on the beds, in the towels and on the wall. We were too exhausted to find a new place, so we slept on top of the beds in our clothes and left early. Stellar location, and creative paint jobs, but too much of a hassle to gain entry.

No towel

The shower on my floor was out of order (maybe fixing it from when I stayed there a couple of months), but didn't matter as no towel was provided. Comfortable bed, but not being able to shower wasn't a great start to the day.

Self service Hotel

Self check in worked out well. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Shared shower could do with a new hose and floor needs attention. Nearly knocked myself out on low door frame when the motion sensors didn't turn hallway lights on. But otherwise good value for the stay.

Don’t Do It

Very poor, looks nothing like the photos in real life, it’s run down, dirty and the beds are terribly uncomfortable. £97 for that? I don’t think so. NEVER again

On arriving I found the sink blocked, no towels and there was a bad smell in the room (likely to be from the blocked sink). Contacted reception which is in the next door hotel. No other rooms. This is a budget hotel, right, so do keep this in mind when booking. Only good thing is that it’s close to Kings Cross, but was up at 6 am and decided to find somewhere away from hotel to wait on my train later in the morning.

No heating, no blankets and no information

I checked in online, which was great. They sent all the information by text and email. However the toilet wasn't easy to find and the radiators didn't work. There was no extra blanket and it was freezing during the night. Worst night, I've ever had. I'm now ill

Miserable

Parking wasnt available. Rooms dirty and dated. Bathroom was tiny. Hairs in bed. Reception lad was canny though. Would have complained but had to leave early before traffic wardens were about.

Grubby but good location

The room was grubby, bathroom wasn’t very clean and only one pillow per person. Good location. Check in was automatic but did give later check in time than advertised. Wouldn’t stay again. Bed is not comfortable and strange set up where the extractor fan is in the toilet but not the bathroom / shower.

Nice enough

Does what it says on the tin! We picked it because of the proximity to the Eurostar for an early morning train. Couldn’t have stayed there more than one night because the room was small but did exactly what we needed it for, somewhere to sleep! Loved the ease of check in and not having to faff around with keys!

Much more then what I was expecting for this price! Normally you get a room the size of a closet in London for the price I paid, but not at this hotel! The room was not fancy but huge and it had a kitchen so I could get groceries. Also the location is perfect! Every metro line in the city comes right there! No transfers necessary.

We didn’t pay a lot for the property and expected it to be basic which it was. It was clean & tidy, staff were friendly also. Strange layout in terms of the shower being in the kitchen so if anyone wanted to make a cuppa and you wanted a shower you’d be totally visible. They have tried to make the best use of the space by giving you kitchen facilities but when there are 4/5 in the room I’d rather have had a bigger bathroom with just a fridge / kettle to use than a shower in a kitchen. As a base the location is great. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Overall for what was paid it was ok and just as expected as a base.

Where are the toilets?

You don’t see anybody at check in - a code is just sent to you. Which would be fine if toilets were signposted well and/or easy to find. I stayed there for 2 nights (luckily I was working early and late) because I am still unsure where the toilets are here. The room was basic but the bed was comfortable and I stayed during high temperatures so it was nice that the window was large and easy to open for night times (which other hotels in the area don’t have). The shower was fine - just a cubicle room on each floor. The location is perfect.
