Pros:

La signora ci ha accolto subito nonostante eravamo tantissimo in anticipo! Purtroppo avevamo avuto una brutta esperienza con un alloggio la sera prima e spiegando la situazione alla signora ci ha subito messo a nostro agio facendoci fare anche la doccia che ahimè non avevamo fatto la sera prima!ci ha pulito la stanza appena è riuscita! Ottima la posizione e la stanza era molto confortevole!

We booked overnight for somewhere to stay while attending a concert in Tottenham. For the price the room was fine. Could
Pros:

Staff were helpful with a late check in. They messaged instructions and let key in secure key box for me to collect. Beds were comfortable enough.

Cons:

Air con unit wasn’t on so had all windows open, which isn’t an issue but was a bit stuffy. Shower soap was nearly empty. Floor in bathroom needs attention as was a little soft (from getting wet)

Decent budget room.
Pros:

Decent sized room, beds were fine, decent shower too.
Iron in the room.
Theres also a communal area with kettles, toaster, fridge and tv.
The lady on the desk was friendly too.

Cons:

No real issues, tesco is a short walk away, go under the tunnels to avoid the busy dual carriageway.
Only downside would be that the room is very hot and there was no fan or AC.

Struttura da evitare, molto sporca e tenuta male
Pros:

La signora che ci ha fatto il check in e che lavora lì è stata davvero molto gentile, disponibile ed accogliente.

Vicino alla metro, ben collegata.

Cons:

Molto molto sporca, insalubre per alcuni versi (polvere, umidità sul soffitto, cavi scoperti in bagno, moquette con angoli pieni di sporcizia, muri sporchi)

Unclean, tired, very basic, questionable safety. But air con and tea/coffee!
Pros:

Had air conditioning (but extra charge), had tea/coffee making facilities

Cons:

No staff at the property unless you message them. Room was not clean, crumbs on the floor, old bar of soap in the shower, lots of mould in the shower, dirty glasses. Smoke alarms covered with plastic bags. Bedside tables wonky. Cigarette burns in the bathroom. Tatty towels.
