Good value for dollar. Everything was basic but clean. Location is excellent. Walking distance to Victoria station (coach, Gatwick express train and tube). If you have mobility issues this hotel is not for you as there are no lifts and the breakfast area is down a flight of stairs. Our only complaint, there was no hot water for our morning shower.

Excellent staff allowed us to leave our bags until our room was ready for an early check-in. Only downside was the fan in the room which was loud and didn’t help cool the room down at all sadly.

Great location near Victoria station, shopping, dining, and areas of interest. The only issue was the lack of air conditioning as we visited when it was hot and humid. Otherwise it was a great experience.

The hotel is very small old, doesn’t have ventilation , one small fan in a room with 4 beds, the bathroom is super small, the door cannot be locked. The rooms are small paid too much to be in the basement, have to leave the door open all night to get some air in the room.

Short and quick stay

Value for money. Overall condition of the hotel was ok but there is room for improvement w.r.t cleanliness and furniture. Reception staff was quick and nice. 10 mins walk to Victoria bus/train station.
