We were told to pack up and leave immediately because the hotel had been repossessed. I had to quickly find a new place to stay, which cost significantly more due to the short notice, and no time to compare prices and hotels. Plus, a totally wasted, and frustrating day out of our vacation.

This property would have been a solid 2 star accommodation. Fairly clean. Old furniture, poor mattresses, but my unit did have a little kitchenette and a bathtub. The problem was 2 days into my 6 night stay they were forced to shut down so I had 5 minutes to gather my stuff and get out. It was 11:30 at night so I’m on the phone with Expedia and thank god we found accommodations within a few blocks. It was a more expensive and much nicer property but Expedia stepped up and covered the bill. Thank you Expedia you were my savior that night.

Reasonably priced but dated boutique hotel Zone 1.
Dated hotel with kitchen. Did not use, the water pot was not cleaned. Very weak shower water flow on 3rd floor. Smell of Marijuana and cigarette when outside and stinks inside the lift. Spacious room and close to Tube station and eatery. Good price for Zone 1. Needs improvement.

Curate's egg
This was very much the curate's egg. I've stayed before and returned because I had a positive experience. This time - not so much. There are many good points. Everything was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Plenty of sockets. What little staff interaction I had was very friendly. Less good were the total lack of any drawers anywhere or shelves in the bathroom or towel rails or hooks or basically any storage places other than a hanging wardrobe. The dodgy fridge - even when switched down to 3 was arctic ( I froze my salads and fizzy water solid the first night before I realised the settings were off). No dish drying towel or alternatively dish rack or even space for wet dishes. The shower was very good pressure wise but at bath tap level and without a shower curtain so either sit in the bath holding it or stand (holding it) and soak the bathroom. These are all manageable if not ideal. Less manageable is the lack of a single plug - not in the bathroom basin, the bath (why install a bath without a plug) or the kitchenette sink. Presumably there is a concern about guests flooding their apartments! Totally not okay was the absence of any light or light switch within the vicinity of the bed which meant groping about in the dark through the kitchenette to reach a switch or banging into the mezzanine ladder en route to or from the ensuite. However it is very competitively priced and perhaps that’s good for the money and I was extra lucky the first time?!
