It's satisfactory for the money: great location! Clean. Cramped.
Pros:

Location and staff

Cons:

The room is very small, and bathroom space is cramped. I opened my window to get some fresh air, and the club next door was noisy....fresh air, poor sleep!

Very enjoyable apart from Muslim breakfast
Pros:

Great location, very clean and friendly staff

Cons:

Only criticism is that we are in the UK and no full English Breakfast, only halal breakfast, why is that? Not really fair on British citizens who pay good money to stay in their own country

Couldn’t wait to get out of the claustrophobic room and return home.
Pros:

The location was good.

Cons:

Our allocated double room on the top floor was tiny. Hardly enough room to walk around the side of the bed.
No view from the window. No wardrobe for clothes. No telephone. No chairs.
All the above facilities were said to be part of the room description on Booking.com.
No mirror for my wife to use. Minuscule wash basin where you barely had enough room to brush your teeth.
The shower was uncontrollable and unusable due to the very hot water temperature. We didn’t bother having breakfast so can’t comment about that.
The receptionist didn’t seem very interested in our complaints.
Not what you expect when paying £187 for a one night stay for a double room.

Bija OK
Pros:

Brokastis bija vienveidīgas. Nebija dārzeņu - tomāti, gurķi. Lokācija OK - visur, kur gribējām - nokļuvām.

Cons:

Papildiniet brokastu klāstu. Priecātos par otru segu, lai katram gulētājam ir sava.

Pros:

La amabilidad del personal, y la ubicación y la zona son perfectas.

Cons:

Estábamos en una habitación para seis personas, no había ni un armario, ni una estantería, ni una silla. Lo único que teníamos para todos era una barra con 5 perchas. No pudimos sacar las cosas de las maletas, incluso las toallas que te dan y las cosas para el baño, no hay sitio para ponerlas, las tuvimos que dejar en el suelo!! Con lo fácil que se solucionaría poniendo unas estanterías, porque cabrían perfectamente. El baño enano, no hay ni para colgar la toalla, el lavabo es tamaño baño de avión, y huele a tuberías.

My short stay was "okay" for us?
Pros:

We stayed in a triple room for five days. Since we spent most of our time exploring London and only used the room to sleep, the size was manageable at first. However, once we put down our luggage, there was hardly any space to walk around, which made a long stay feel quite cramped.The mattresses were also somewhat uncomfortable, and the room was noisy at night, making it hard to get a good rest. Additionally, the bathroom heater was difficult to adjust between hot and cold water, and we noticed there was no soap tray inside the shower.

Cons:

Another issue was the room supplies. They only provided bottled water on the first day, which made me feel like they don't really cater to long-term guests. We also weren't given any milk for two days; although I didn't ask for it, I expected it to be replenished. There was no ay refregirator and that i thing is a must though it's hotel.

Great value and the kids loved it.
Pros:

Great value for money for a family of 5. Good location and easy to reach by tube. Some good site seeing in and around location as well and plenty of amenities.

Cons:

Room was too warm on a night and although a fan was provided it was very loud even on a low setting. Blinds not the best for keeping out the light.
Some general maintenance could be done, some carpet lifting up on the stars, mould spots on our bathroom ceiling and scuff marks on the wall etc.

Pros:

El hotel y la habitación en la que estuvimos, cumplieron expectativas, pues tenían lo necesario para poder descansar después de todo el día caminando por Londres. El personal del hotel muy amable y además, el lugar está bien comunicado.

Te mooi voor woorden.
Pros:

De kamer was schoon, dagelijks schone handdoeken. Centrale plek, dichtbij 2 metro stations. Hotel ligt in de wijk Kensington. Dit gaat echter snel achteruit.

Cons:

Het ontbijt was matig. Koffie niet te drinken. Kamer te klein voor een vierpersoonskamer. Het 2 persoonsbed is te smal. Terwijl de 1 persoonsbedden prima zijn. Te kleine douchecabine en bijna geen waterdruk. Een Shisha tent welke s avonds laat tot midden in de nacht herrie maakte. De omschrijving van het hotel matched niet met wat je ervoor terug krijgt.
