Budget Friendly con passeggiata inclusa!
Pros:

Struttura ordinata e pulita.
Staff disponibile e rapido.
Colazione pagata 10€ a persona li vale tutti! Terza volta a Londra hotel budget friendly e con tutto il necessario.

Cons:

Servizio trasporti non disponibile nelle vicinanze, considerate 15 minuti a piedi dalla stazione metro-treni più vicina, comunque comodissima per raggiungere il centro! Ad esempio prendendo il treno si raggiunge il London Bridge in 35 minuti incluso di camminata dall’ hotel alla stazione

Okay stay
Pros:

Clean and friendly staff

Cons:

Crowded breakfast, room was very average kinda like a dormitory. On the whole it did the job and reflects the price. Can’t complain

The closest way to try “prison cell” experience without committing a crime.
Pros:

The exit reception & car park.

Cons:

Sub-budget if anything can be trimmed further off lower than budget they have unless it’s spending money on their own dim wit Ibis designer reinventing a standard light switch by designing their own lighting system which has an illuminated control panel which stays lit up all night long “apparently broken… yeah broken by default by its design” …

Reception experience is pitiful.

Rooms look like they’ve been swept though haven’t seen a mop to properly deep clean in years. Same for the shower trays need a proper cleaning. Just like everything else in the hotel housekeeping is a little half baked.

Bedding is thin particularly the duvet which makes single ply toilet paper seem thick.

The property is a comfort free zone with all efforts to maximise displeasure even the sockets are located as far away from where you actually need. Bring an extension cord with you if you want to keep mobile on charge.

There is no air conditioning even though it’s stated on the room spec and as for soundproofed rooms stated on various pages of advertising you can hear exactly what’s going on neighbouring, above and in the corridors.

In the morning expect Reception to be deserted, thankfully a box to leave one’s key cards as you walk out saying “glad to get out of here”
