Spend your money elsewhere.
Pros:

We were given a basement room which size wise was ok and the TV worked, but thats about the only good part.
Blinds broken, curtains did not cover the full window.
Dirty marks on the walls, damaged carpet from being melted. The fridge sounded like a plane overhead. The mattress was possibly the most uncomfortable I have ever tried to sleep on. Broken shelf in bathroom, filthy extractor fan.
Bad road noise and its exactly opposite a large Shell garage.
The worst part which we had not even been made aware of was the continuous rumble and the whistle of air with every underground train from below our room, which was around every 4 mins. They even put ear defenders on bed side table.
No reception was open and no staff to be found so couldn't even speak to them about it.
Do not spend you money here its not as nice as the pictures portray. Stay clear!

Affidabile
Pros:

L'ambiente nel complesso.

Cons:

Luce non funzionante nel corridoio.
Il bollitore elettrico per scaldare l'acqua del tè era rovinato
all'interno e quindi non mi sono sentito di fare il te'.

Do not stay here, advertisements are very much not what you receive.
Pros:

Not much at all.

Cons:

Basement room, dark and gloomy. Not the cleanest, curtains did not fit across the window. Blind cords broken. Dirty walls burn mark on carpet.
Not enough sockets, bathroom shelf broken.
The most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept in and to top it off they left us ear plugs! Soon found out why, the bedroom was just above the underground line and all you could hear was the train below us about ever 4 minutes. The tunnel is that close you could hear the air rushing through the tunnel as the train came through.
Fridge was so noisy.
No reception available keys were left in small key safe outside main hotel entrance.

Two night couole break
Pros:

Good location for us. Staff were friendly. Hotel was clean and comfy

Cons:

Not much really. A bin in the living area woukd have been beneficial not just the bathroom bin. And an easy way to fill the kettle wouldn't go a miss

Ho già scritto tutto prima.
Pros:

È un Hotel piccolino, perfettamente integrato, con i suoi mattoncini rossi,con le villette attorno. Il check-in è comodissimo, ti lasciano le chiavi in piccole cassettine chiuse con un codice che ti inviano tramite email, ma per qualsiasi domanda, puoi contattare la struttura e ti rispondono subito! La nostra camera, al secondo piano, ha il letto alla francese, molto comodo, ma la grandezza è giusta, per un soggiorno di qualche giorno. Il bagno è piccolo, non c’è il bidet, ma non lo trovate da nessuna parte, è normale; la doccia bella comoda, il tutto molto pulito e accogliente, nonostante la moquette!😅 Ho letto qualche recensione sui rumori notturni della strada, è vero, si sentono, ma a me non danno per niente fastidio, anzi, mi cullano! Avevo qualche perplessità sulla mancanza della colazione, ma appena attraversi la strada c’è un’ottima Bakery, carina, informale, con ottimi prodotti ed anche conveniente! Il quartiere molto tranquillo, ricco di supermercati, non è un quartiere turistico, non trovate tanti ristoranti per cenare, c’è un Burger King, camminando c’è qualche localino, ma consiglio un pub della zona, si chiama Avalon, praticamente a 3 minuti dall’hotel, classico pub inglese tradizionale. Clapham è ben collegato, ci sono autobus, ma soprattutto la Northern line (2 minuti dall’Hotel!) che si collega praticamente a tutte le altre linee di metro e ti porta dappertutto. Vedi pochi turisti, ma tanti giovani del posto che o vanno a lavoro o tornano da lavoro…o corrono…qui sono tutti runner!!! In sostanza, ottima esperienza, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, ci ritornerei!

Cons:

La mancanza di regolazione della temperatura e una finestra con la maniglia rotta, quindi senza possibilità di aprirla.

Enjoyable 3 night stay, with parking
Pros:

Great location and very clean

Cons:

Not the property’s fault but we would have liked a bigger bed, but to be fair to the property it’s listed as a double bed

Pros:

The location was great, close to the metro and there are a bunch of food options around the area. The room was as described and perfect for three people.
