You can’t really beat the location of this place. I was able to walk home from Buckingham Palace on a night where my feet were aching and not feel bad or uncomfortable. Victoria Station is 5 minutes away. And there’s so many options for anything you need within walking distance.
I think if you’re a solo traveler this place is great especially if you’re traveling light. It’s a bit like a hostel but significantly more private.
That being said, I’m not sure if I would be happy staying here for more than a day or two. It wasn’t the most convenient for me personally but I think this is down to your preferences.
When I stayed here, my room was on the top most floor which meant I had to drag my bags up narrow stairs one at a time. I don’t know if the lower rooms were occupied but it would have been more convenient if I had gotten a room downstairs. The nearest bathroom was two flights down from me so that felt inconvenient especially if you need immediate access to a bathroom. And although it’s a full bath, it is super small and shared with at least 3 other rooms. It was fairly clean but again I don’t think the lower rooms were occupied so I don’t know if it would be so clean if they were.
The room itself is great. Comfortable bed, closet space, and desk. You can lock your room. A bath towel and face towel is provided. Easy instructions for wifi (although the WiFi was spotty and kept going in and out). There was additional space in the hallway that I believe is available if you want to store something that you’re comfortable leaving in public. The kitchen is available for use and there’s options for tea and dishes available for use.
I only needed the room for one night before my flight home and I was able to get an evening of sightseeing in before my flight. I partly wish I could have stayed an extra day to take advantage of the location which is seriously so unbeatable. But I also debate how comfortable I would be if I had to stay (I didn’t end up needing to shower and wash my hair since I wasn’t even here a full 24 hours).
All in all if you want something a step above a hostel that’s private and more secure/comfortable without being expensive this is perfect. If you need something more convenient and don’t want to compromise your comfort, this may not be the right fit. I don’t have any major complaints. For the amount I paid I was really happy with my room. And even the inconvenience of the bathroom isn’t a complaint considering that price tag. You get what you paid for but more importantly it feels safe and clean and quiet. I would recommend it if you really don’t care about luxury or the extra bells and whistles.
