We stayed in a family room. It was a very basic room and simple breakfast, but it’s a central location and affordable price. No frills, but would stay there again

I like a perfect location 10min near Victoria station. Everything else was mediocre - clog in sink, tiny room, light directly to window. Continental breakfast without cheese or salami. Creaky floor, no soundproof between rooms on the floor. Good to spend a night-two between bus excursions from Victoria bus station. Hardly fits to stay longer.

I liked it, I knew that it is very small, only if you travel with a carry-on suitcase will you be able to accommodate it, but it is very clean, the location is formidable, just one block from Victoria station, it does not have an elevator.

Our room was in the basement, screen on window was ripped open, TV didn’t work. Because the room was warm we had to open the window and the street noise is loud…we did not sleep well.The location is excellent, however this property is showing its wear. They did fix the TV 24 hours later.
