Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very small, which was usable; however, the shower and bathroom space was so narrow that it was difficult to wash and get ready. I enjoyed the proximity to the park, restaurants, and tube. The lodge felt safe and was definitely a good value.

We were on the top floor so the water pressure wasn’t great - had a very awkward shower. Sloped ceiling and the WiFi didn’t reach us so had to walk bent over half the time and go downstairs to use the internet. It was quite clean but the mattresses seemed pretty budget. Was quirky to look at and good access. Neighbourhood seemed pretty quiet.
