Cheap for a night’s sleep, but the dated rooms, strong smell of cigarette smoke, and rock-hard pillows mean I wouldn’t s
Pros:

The property was close to what we needed as we were attending the o2 academy.

Cons:

The property was very dated and could really do with a refurbishment. Someone was definitely smoking in the hotel as it really smelt strong of cigarettes around the rooms. The bed was clean but the pillows were like sleeping on a mortuary block they were so stiff. It was a cheap place to sleep but I definitely wouldn’t stay again. I’d is required on check in and when returning at night there was security with a check list which made me question what kind of place this is. As someone who travels a lot I have never known this.

Cons:

I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! I can't even name this hotel; just look where the light switches are. This is not possible for safety reasons. There's only one outlet in the room, which only has a small fan plugged into it. I'll send a photo to the inspection team for this "hotel."

Don’t do it.
Pros:

They refunded my money because the hotel was awful.

Cons:

It was smelly, it was dirty, the rooms were disgusting, the smell was bad and it shouldn’t be open in my opinion. Walked in and walked straight back out.
