Similar experience to the recent reviews.
Pros:
- good location with tube stations very close by
- decent food, supermarket options nearby
- good price relative to other London options
- stored luggage on our day of arrival.
- air con
Cons:
- self catering with insufficient provisions, no spoons, no adequate saucepans (one small one provided). Odd collection of cups and plates and only one bowl
- no toliet paper, bin bags
- very poor quality pillows, asked for extra but never received
- bed is in bad condition, not supportive and makes lots of noise
- shattered window pane
- walls are thin, problematic if there are noisy neighbors
One reception staff member (evening time Wednesday) was helpful in providing spoons and toliet paper after we asked. Other staff at check-in and check-out were not so friendly.
