London

Incredibly dirty, no staff on sight all day, which is pretty scary, considering the flimsy doors and the outright dangerous neighbourhood and no customer service at all. No one there to contact if there is something wrong, e.g. the putrid bathroom, loud customers running in the hallways at midnight or theft. Do not book here under any circumstances, even if the price is good.

Insultingly Bad

Nice hotel, the problem is you can't sleep at night. The whorehouse you've never seen. Music in the cars parked in front of the hotel. No soundproofing, in short if you want to have a good stay forget about this neighborhood, noisy and dirty.

Very disappointed

I'm arriving at the hotel, I get a call: remember you have to pay xxx cash, yes, I know. where can I change the euros? do you know?, that's not my business! Let's start well...arrive and knock (because the bell doesn't work and it's a palace, not a hotel). No one opens. We call. I wait 40 minutes. A man who works in a nearby store, saying that he's NOT the owner, shows up in my room and asks me for the cash and the credit card (sorry?!?!?!).

I wish I could give a 0.

The place is a nightmare. I don't understand how you can rent rooms under certain conditions, whoever checked in was very friendly but that doesn't help to make the environment any less bad.

But why???

I stayed here during my business trip. There are shared rooms in this hotel. Hotel is not very close to center of London. But can accessible to center almost 6-7 stop by metro. Metro takes 20 min. by walking. Owner is a friendly man and he helps. Rooms are clean. This hotel is cheap I recommend here. Thanks. 

Cheap and safe hotel

Booked 2 nights while visiting twickenham. No reception. Have to ring 30 minutes before arrival so someone can meet you at the door. Had to take credit card that the deposit was made on and even though the balance had to be paid CASH on arrival they take a copy of the credit card and driving licence WHY?  Coincidence it may be but I have been contacted by my credit card provider to say the card has been compromised !!! How odd !! Had to move the car first thing as only permit holders can park on the streets. Decided not to bother staying second night and preferred to drive home rather than spend another night.. I have stayed in hostels that are miles better than this place.

Avoid ! Paid for 2 nights left after 1

Me and three friends rent a big room with four beds in this hostel in April 18 for holidays. We were a bit confused by some bad reviews we read about it on advance but after the stay there we didn't have any complain. It is beautiful, kinda fancy looking I would say though it is an old building, the window has nice London views,the room was tidy and clean, with a kitchen fully equipped, it was in a safe and central part of Newham, 2 minute walk to the main street where all the shops are, and 10 minutes to the station which is in that street as well. The man that is in charge of the hotel was very nice, he helped us with questions... I really recommend it :)

Great for the price!

We booked this as 3 friends staying for a concert at the Olympic stadiium. A very good price for London so our expectations were not high altough we only needed a base to sleep at anyway. 

As requested we phoned ahead 30 mins before we planned to arrive (looks like quite a few people reviewing this did not read this requirement) and were met by a pleasant chap at the door who let us in and showed us around. The apartment itself was very clean and spacious with a decently kitted out kitchen and a kind of sun patio area. Beds were very comfortable, shower had very good water pressure (not the 'dribble' you sometimes get in converted buildings) and it generally ticked all the boxes for what we needed.

Clean, cheap and comfortable. Just the job

I was booked at this hotel via a airline vacation department.  This place is a dump and it is NOT a hotel, it is a hostel, 12 rooms share one dirty bathroom.  First al all I could not find the hotel, no sign.  The taxi driver warned me not to go out at night in this area.  When we found the hotel? I rang the bell, no answer.  Rang the bell for 20 minutes. Went to a nearby store and called, no answer.  After 30 minutes a gentleman answered and said he would be there in 5 minutes.  30 minutes later he arrived.  NO desk, trash in the halls and dirty linen in the hall.  This hotel is nothing like to pictures.  The bathroom was dirty and he informed us that there were cleaning products if we wished to clean.  I left when he wanted to take a picture of my passport and credit card.  This airline should have never booked people in this horrible dump.

The Worst!

The hotel is located in a Hindu neighborhood, although at the price point it should not be difficult, it seems to me that cleanliness remains a minimum, except there is nothing of that here.I share all the comments and details written by the other members of Tripadvisor.
