Just spend a bit more and get a better place if you want to visit London as this as not a vibe .
Cons:

The staff who were working decided to have a bbq directly outside my room and were soooo loud till around half 2 in the morning … on a Wednesday evening. Got no sleep and the room stunk of cooked meat … I’m vegetarian.
When Leaving , the staff member meant to be attending the front desk was later down asleep on the sofa.

Cons:

We did not feel safe in hotel, we didn't stay in the hotel for any longer than about half an hour while I booked a different hotel. I would not recommend this hotel.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Cons:

Place was filthy and stunk of mould. Gap under door, walls falling apart, air con was a fan! Dodgy bloke living in front bedroom on mattress on the floor, staff kept us up all night outside the window then were asleep in the lobby in the morning. No parking due to market which wasn't explained. I dont know how a place like this is allowed to stay open.

Just don’t go
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

If you respect yourself, just book a room somewhere else. As the saying goes, first impressions matter, and this hotel (if you can even call it that) is the perfect example. The moment we stepped into the reception, we could smell cannabis smoke. Yes, inside the reception area, in an enclosed space.

They checked us in and gave us a room that also smelled of smoke (probably cigarettes). The room was awful, and the walls were dirtier than an exterior wall. We asked to change rooms, and they moved us to one that was visibly a bit cleaner, but still absolutely unacceptable to be rented to guests.

We stayed for three nights only because it was last minute and during the New Year period, so finding something else was nearly impossible. The smell in the reception was constant, and on the couch next to the entrance there was usually a guy sleeping (lying down without shoes), who we later realized was also an employee.

Every time we passed through the reception, we would politely say “hello,” and they wouldn’t even bother to respond. Stay away, even if it means paying a bit more elsewhere. People like this need to learn to respect their guests, especially since no one stays for free.
