I wouldn't recommend. But someone might take it for a single night that is affordable
Pros:

Good location. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Uncomfortable.
Mattress was sagging, small room, floor boards uneven and separating from each other, bathroom was a cupboard. Could hear the neighbours to the side and the family above. Too many stairs covered in a carpet that needs some deep cleaning.

Las dimensiones de la cama y habitación, y tal vez el olor.

Pros:

L’ emplacement, le très bon rapport qualité prix pour Londres et le personnel sympathique

Cons:

Mon arrivée dans la chambre à 16h30 occupée par quelqu’un de l’hôtel pour une réparation mineure. L’accueil ne m’avait pas prévenu et j’ai dû attendre dans le couloir
