Fuyez !
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

J'ai atterri dans cet établissement suite à l'annulation le jour même à 17h d'un logement sur Booking: merci !
Cet établissement est sordide, usé jusqu'à l'os, tout part en lambeau: les murs sont sales et plein de trous, la salle de bain (dans une seule des deux chambres) est un nid à microbes, moisissures et rouille, sans parler de la crasse et du calcaire; chambre 1: fenêtre à demi murée; chambre 2 sans wc ni sdb, rideaux pendouillants et crasseux; salle de bain partagée épouvantablement salle et repoussante. Mobilier cassé ou bancal et limité à la plus simple version. Saleté repoussante dans tous les coins; linge de toilette sales et sacs poubelle traînent à tous les étages toute la journée, des matelas sont stockés dans les couloirs et dans la cour qu'il faut traverser pour accéder aux chambres. Bref, fuyez !

Perfetta per stare pochi giorni
Pros:

Posizione perfetta, a pochi minuti 2 metro con linee diverse che permettono di raggiungere qualsiasi punto.
Camera normale

Cons:

Il bagno non era il top, nella doccia mi sembrava ci fosse un pochino di muffa (il bagno non aveva finestre, forse per questo)

Posizione ottima per i trasporti, ma condizioni igieniche da incubo per la presenza di insetti nel letto e scarsa pulizi
Pros:

L'unica nota positiva è stata la posizione, molto comoda perché vicina alla fermata della metro e della DLR, ben collegata anche con la Elizabeth Line.

Cons:

Tutto il resto è stato inaccettabile. La camera era sporchissima e, cosa gravissima, abbiamo trovato degli insetti nel letto. Lo staff, invece di risolvere il problema o cambiarci stanza, ci ha dato un inutile spray per mosche e zanzare. Un'esperienza pessima a livello igienico e gestionale.
