Lots Of Problems , I asked about Leaving suitcases they said I had To Book which was going to Cost £25, This is Ridiculous Most Hotels will look after Luggage with No Extra Charge , The Room itself was shocking it was Supposed to be Delux -It was Nothing More than a Dingy Bedsit , No Tea making Facilities , No Remote Control for TV , bathroom was So Small You Couldnt use the Toilet without Hitting the Sink , There was a Heater Pump outside the Bedroom Window Making Sleep Imposssible , It Felt Like some of the Floor Boards were broken as they moved when walked on , This Hotel Needs Inspecting

8/10 Very good

I was worried about staying here because of previous bad reviews but for the price I paid in the location. It wasn’t bad and the service was amazing. They always wanted me to be comfortable and have the best stay possible so if you’re looking for something in this location at a low rate I think this is a decent choice

Weekend break. Would have liked to have a kettle in room. It was advertised on the website.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Dirty, gross and shocked that this is even offered on Expedia!
Roy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not very good. Booked a deluxe double and sorry to say it was disgusting. Nothing deluxe about it. Dirty, tired and tiny. No tea coffee facilities. Moved to another room and no hot water. Moved again which was a lot better but the hotel is not clean or hygienic. For the price you pay it’s just not worth it. I come a lot on business here but will try and avoid this hotel

Terrible hotel
Aleksandr, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

I’ll start with the positive. The two young guys on reception were very polite, respectful and helpful. That is unfortunately where the positives end. It’s incredibly shabby & run down. The single room was like a prison cell. Tiny, drab and no light through a tiny window high up a wall facing a vestibule not outside. Dirty bathroom, which the receptionist did organise another clean. Towels & hairdresser on request. Lights so bright it was like being in a solarium. Scuffs all over the walls, springy bed, dank furniture. Paper thin walls so you can hear every thump, cough, bang, door etc. excruciating. Apart from the lovely staff. Avoid. Oh, the area is great though and right next to the station!

Don’t waste your money!!!

I got there early and told to come back at three, came back and had to wait over 15 minutes for someone to come and check me in. The room was small and the shower was even worse because you had to manoeuvre yourself to get in. The mattress was terrible, could not get comfortable and had hardly any sleep, I will never go there again and would not recommend it to anybody!!
Kevin, 1-night trip

The room was very narrow for two beds; you could barely walk in it. The shower wasn't very clean, and it was difficult to open the window because it was very old. Otherwise, we got the bare minimum for the price.

2/10 Poor

I booked a "deluxe double" room, which was smaller than the interior of a minibus. The paintwork on the walls was falling off, mould in the bathroom. The springs in the mattress could be felt just by touch, never mind sitting or laying on the bed. The room was not soundproof, traffic, pedestrians and birds could be heard out of the window and the blind was non adjustable, so no natural light was let into the room. No towels, soap, toiletries, kettle, cups, tea coffee etc were in the room, although towels were available if we asked nicely at reception. There was a fridge, although we didnt use it. A very small wardrobe, big enough for 3 coats and a couple of pairs of footwear, but you had to climb over the bed to get to one side of the bed, as the wardrobe obscured the access to that part of the room. The "ensuite" was small, 2ft wide by 6ft long, you needed to pivot to sit on the toilet seat. No mention on the website of a cost to use the luggage room, £12 for 2 cases, the receptionist demanded to see our phone for booking receipt. A receipt that was sent to a temporary email address. It claimed we had until 3pm the following day to leave our luggage, yet the following day, we encountered a problem as the same receptionist refused to allow our luggage back into the room, saying our booking was for "one day only". A story which changed twice, from 1 day, to 24hrs, to the day you checked in only. A very poor experience and i would discourage anyone from using this hotel.

Good location. The hotel itself was old and a bit rundown. The price was pretty reasonable.
Alan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not as bad as previous reviews had. It’s a budget hotel. The room was tiny. The corridors and doors were tiny. You get nothing if you don’t ask for it, ie clean towels and tea and sugar. But otherwise it’s cheap and close to town.
Andy, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

I booked 2 x deluxe rooms. In my wildest dreams i could not imagine how they could describe our rooms as deluxe. The one I actually stayed in was more of a small box room. There was 2 bath towels provided for 2 of us but no hand towels. . The TV did not work in either room and we pointed this out to receptionist who said he would sort it out (he didn't). There was 1 teabag, 2 coffee bags and no spoons and this was just put on bedside shelf loose (no presentation). Black mould along the lower part of wall where radiater was.window only opened about 2-3 inches and no fan or aircon so quite hot in the room. Think the bed needed replacing as it creaked and groaned every time you moved so no definately not a deluxe room. Would I stay there again, probably not.

Rooms smelt like mold. Things broken, stained walls, cold. Insanely small bathrooms.

Stay away

Carpet was dirty and with debris, toilet paper holder broken and left at the floor, tv didn’t work (image distortion), shower stall full of mold
Patricia, 2-night trip

This was absolutely awful and I want a full refund. There was no hot water in my room, ants everywhere, dirty carpets and bed sheets, dust and extremely poor decor.
Bryony, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The deluxe double room was no bigger than a large wardrobe! If I had swung a cat I would have smashed its head in !! The shower was tiny , I’m a large framed man and just squeezed into it , once in I couldn’t move , the shower head was fixed and aimed at the ceiling, I had to remove it from it’s cradle to get myself wet , the tv was no bigger than a mobile phone , it definitely needs to be decorated , the paint was aged and grubby , I feel the description on your website is very misleading , on the plus side , it was warm and clean
Steve, 1-night trip

Just Terrible

Shower was dirty and didn’t work. Only boiling hot water would come out as the thermostat was broken. Bed was uncomfortable - really lumpy and needed a new mattress! Overall terrible hotel.
Sebastian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve travelled far and wide. Electric sockets hanging off the wall. Window lodged open with piece of wood. Room in a disgusting state. I threw the “key” back on the reception and told them to stick it and went somewhere else. Absolutely awful
Stephen, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The location of the hotel is great, close to Hyde Park and the underground. However, the room was very dirty, the bedsheets were so dirty that I slept with my clothes on, and didn’t want to take a shower in that bathroom because it was really grouse. The guy in the neighbour room was constantly smoking pot, and the smell went all the way into my room. There was no breakfast cafe at the hotel, and the room was not ready by check-in time. For the price, much better options are available in the same area.
Kristin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Opportunity for improvement

The pictures of the room and its aesthetic are not true; the hotel only uses part of the building shown. The pictures of the rooms and restrooms are inaccurate. My room (106) had a terrible toilet with no space between the hand basin and the toilet; you would literally have to sit sideways to use it. The toilet was very tiny, a detail not included in the hotel room pictures. There was no room service as claimed. We spent two nights, and our room was never cleaned once not even to dispose of waste or change the bins. Both the room and restroom bins were never emptied. Zero percent value for my money; if I could, I would have checked out. The hotel needs to do better. You'll be constantly awakened by the noise and vibration of doors closing next to your room. The room also lacks a functional night light; you either sleep in the dark or with the full light onthose are your only options. In all, it was a terrible experience. I paid less for a 3-star hotel in Spain and enjoyed my stay there. Craven should inform prospective customers of the true condition of their property with well-detailed pictures.
