Not worth the money
Pros:

It was tiny , the light flickered and the blinders where broken in the bathroom so anyone could look in. Also they messed up my other booking for my friends room.

Cheap Hotel
Pros:

Upon arrival was told that room was not paid for as I had expected they said they had received my card details but had no card processing facilities and I needed to pay the full 10 days in advance in cash that I could go to a teller machine in a nearby service station to make the withdrawal, which I did and insisted on a receipt, I will verify the payment made to Expedia upon my return to Aus. The room had a small Dinning table with 2 three leg chairs which fell over backwards unless weight was put on the seat, the bedroom area had a small square coffee table that one leg had fallen off of and a double bed with 2 very thin pillows there were no draws or clothes hanging facilities. toilet and bathroom were seperate and shared and were clean and tidy. TV worked but took 40 mins to come on

Bottom end accommodation
Pros:

Dreadful. Yes it was cheap, but dirty, filthy carpet. Shower produced only a low flow of warm water. Bathroom door wouldn't open enough because bed obstructed. Receptionist (pleasant guy) tried charging a higher rate than was quoted.
Definitely wouldn't recommend. There are better cheap hotels/guest houses in the area.

Pros:

Wasn't as good as expected. Ended up having to share a bathroom/toilet if you want to call it that. No one on Reception when I first arrived, and when they did come through after another customer found them they were on the phone. Room smelt like someone might have been smoking on there, and being a non-smoker didn't find it very nice.

Hotel lejos de Londres
Pros:

La entrada fue complicada, puesto que habíamos llamado a Hoteles.com para confirmar que llegaríamos tarde y nos dijeron que no pasaba nada porque tenían recepción 24h. cuando llegamos a las 02:30h nos dijeron que teníamos que pagar en efectivo toda la estancia ( 4 noches. 222 libras) para poder entrar, menos mal que había un cajero enfrente. Muy lejos del centro de Londres, hay que coger autobus hasta Stratford (la parada esta cerca del hotel o 35min. andando)y metro hasta el centro, unos 30 min. Nunca habia estado en Londres, pero por ese precio en España tienes hoteles muy buenos.

Bad experiance
Pros:

I will highly recomend to not stay in this hotel basic thing which is required is comfortable bed and privacy in this hotel both things are not present.
Bed is acctualy whith concave groved matres and we can easily hearand understand the voices from nearby room.
Toilets are badly maintained.
And room had some smell
Carpet is full of dust
Over all not value for money go for central london hotels

NEVER AGAIN
Pros:

ich habe mir für meinen Aufenthalt in London eine andere Unterkunft gesucht, weil ich dort nicht schlafen konnte. Das bezahlte Geld war mir dann auch egal!

Hotel con cero limpieza
Pros:

You get what you pay for
Pros:

The location was good with regular buses going to the Excel centre right outside. The only complaints would be that the room we stayed in had a boiler which made the room very hot - not particularly comfortable in the middle of summer, and that it could be noisy at night depending on the other guests. I stayed here with two others but had I been alone (as a women) I might have felt less safe. The staff were always pleasant.

The Worst
Pros:

Stayed here on the 29/06/16.

Was raided for unknown reasons by the police (apparently it was a prostitution house but I can't confirm that). Might be able to find a story about it on the internet. Room was disgusting, was in one of the basement rooms - mould everywhere, bed was stained and only 1 out of 4 lights worked.

Would NEVER recommended. Please, please, please pay more for a better hotel.

Mouldy, dirty and loud!!
Pros:

The room was disgusting, nothing like the photos, the bed, the walls and the ceiling all going mouldy. The noise throughout the night, I don't even know how anyone can sleep in this place.
