Myself and my gf stayed over the first week of december.

Good points:

The shower worked with hot water and the bed was comfortable, Edward and his room mate were really friendly and helpful.
Location is great with many resturants and bars nearby that do happy hours, half the price of midtown. Tube is 10 mins walk away which wasn't too bad.

Negatives:

Room temperature was up and down, some nights it was cold, other nights very hot.
For two people (who did quite alot of shopping) we struggled for space in the room however I would see it as perfect for a lone traveller or for people with not alot of stuff.

If you don't like cats then I would not recommend staying there, you cannot avoid the litter tray and the friendly inqusitive cats!
