In my opinion, this is a great place for someone who wants an affortable place to stay in London, doesn't mind the concept of sharing a bathroom, likes a full kithen to prepare meals , doesn't mind walking 15-20 minutes to the center area (there are lots of metro and train stations close by if you prefer not to walk), likes a comfortable bed for one or two individuals, and doesn't mind a rather small room. Altough, this room has access to a patio out back, but since I was waking up early and coming back late, I didn't realize it was back there until my last day. For me, it was what I needed and I would not hesitate to go back. In the end, it all depends on what your looking for.
