I don’t know why this hotel has such low ratings. I must admit, I was hesitant to book because of the bad reviews but because my booking was so last minute, I did not really have a choice. Here is my review:
The Pros:
- Everything was clean and tidy
- Super quiet! Honestly, this was probably the quitest hotel I have stayed at. All the budget hotels like Z hotels, Ibis, Travelodge boast of soundproofing but I could always hear people CONSTANTLY! This was such a refreshing change. The road is quite noisy but once you close the windows, you can't hear a thing.
- Mostly well-connected. It is a bit out of the way and takes around 40min to get to the centre of London but at this price, it's a steal! There are multiple bus stops nearby and the tube is a 15min walk away.
- Room size is very generous. We stayed in the triple room and it had 3 single beds, a large single seater couch, a dressing table and chair and ample room to spare!
- Comfy beds and sheets. We slept very well.
The cons:
- The carpet and couch could do with a deep clean.
- The walls are a bit grubby. Could do with some new paint.
- If I'm really nit-picking, the nearest shops and restaurants were about a 10min walk away so a bit far if you are feeling lazy.
The hotel is not perfect, but for the cost, it was more than sufficient. More than I can say for many other hotels in London.
Overall, my family and I had a wonderful stay and were more than happy. Fantastic value for money! We will definitely be back!
