The room is too small, but the location is good. It’s too tight for those who are tall, also the equipment is a bit old. You can get a better hostel with this price

Best place for tourists and for business visit too with low budget.bathroom and toilets are getting cleaned regularly. I opted 9 members stay and not much disturbance during night. One night I heard snooze sound 😃. They provided 2 blankets and need to drop during the checkout. I prefer by one padlock to use locker at home. You can store one cabin luggage and small back bag.noticed microwave if you want to use.

This accommodation was a good, affordable option for a solo traveler in London. However, the lack of soundproofing in the room made it difficult to sleep. Even late at night and early in the morning, I could still hear people talking and socializing.

The hotel has some cleanliness issues, especially the bathroom, which didn't feel clean. The bedroom had an unpleasant odor, reminiscent of smelly feet. However, the location is quite good, and considering its price, which is quite affordable for London, it's a decent option. A notable advantage is the availability of paid luggage storage, which is very convenient. There are both pros and cons to staying here. I hope the hotel can improve on the cleanliness aspect and continue to thrive. Best wishes for continued success! .
