Aside from the good location, staying here was quite uncomfortable for me. The room was freezing cold for my entire stay, even after Barry assured me it was “fixed” earlier that day. In the morning just before check out, the water temperature was also very cold, which eventually got “fixed” after messaging Barry. It seemed as though Barry had the means to control the temperature for both the water and the room, yet didn’t do so until asked.
Though I’m aware this is a side effect of sharing a bathroom, it seemed as though Barry was always using the bathroom when I needed it, which was slightly annoying.
After my uncomfortable stay, Barry even had the nerve to contact me about some “white powder” that he found near the desk, which was residue from creatine monohydrate (a sports supplement). After telling him what it was, he seemed suspicious and nearly accused me of strange activity even though it was a completely harmless substance.
I do not recommend staying at this place if you’re visiting London. There are tons of other places available at much cheaper rates that I can imagine are much more comfortable.
