Excellent experience. Loved the luggage storage facility. Felt taken care of as a guest.
Pros:

Everything was clean, new and pleasant. Every small trouble i had was fast resolved by the online support team in dt time. Simply would definitely turn back.

Cons:

A bit shabby carpets in front of elevators made me sceptical at first what the room will be.. the room was spot on though!

God beliggenhet, hyggelig personale men ikke så renslig
Pros:

Bra beliggenhet og hyggelig personale

Cons:

Veldig tett luft, vond lukt og mugg i gangene og dørkarmene. Rommene var ikke vasket ordentlig, og vi opplevde flekker, møkk på gulvet og gjenglemte gjenstander fra tidligere gjester. Etter en prat med behjelpelig personale fikk vi bytte rom til et som hadde litt bedre luft og var litt renere, men fortsatt ikke rent.

Super verblijf
Pros:

Het is een kleine maar fijne kamer en super schoon. En de buurt is ook prima, de metro en bus zijn op loopafstand zijn. Net zoals de supermarkten.
Gewoon boeken, je krijgt geen spijt

Cons:

Het was bloedheet buiten en dus ook binnen. Er was geen airco maar dat wist ik al, gelukkig had ik een ventilator. Ik zal hier zeker nog een keer blijven maar NIET in de zomer of warme periode.

Good and comfy stay in London
Pros:

Safe and simple stay in London, comfy room and had everythingn we needed!

Cons:

Air circulation in the room wasn’t that great, although the fan helped a bit. Got pretty stuffy.

Unbearably hot, do not recommend
Pros:

Location is the only good part

Cons:

The room and the whole building was unbearably hot in may and the window barely opened. The staff didn't do anything to solve the problem, leaving only a fan to deal with the problem, but aside from being very noisy, all it did was recirculate unbearably hot air (over 28°C). We weren't able to sleep properly because of that.

It was very noisy too, with doors banging violently.

Pros:

la peor experiencia que he tenido en un hotel de booking, voy a ingresar un reclamo formal. No hay lobby por lo que si tienes cualquier problema es imposible solucionarlo rápidamente, te hacen hablar con una IA a través de una aplicación, estuve esperando 2 horas para poder hablar con un humano porque la habitación estaba a 28° y no hubo una solución. Las ventanas estaban bloqueadas por seguridad. No pudimos dormir por el calor, y afuera hacían 8°

Cons:

pésimo servicio, la habitación estaba sucia y tardaron un día en solucionar el problema de la habitación, cuando nuestra estancia eran 2 noches. Ya no valía la pena buscar otro alojamiento.

Good value for money but bed was uncomfortable however location is ideal.
Pros:

Location and was clean

Cons:

Took me around 2 hours to get in, it did not clearly state I needed a physical ID to complete check out and have it in person uploading a document wasn’t valid. I couldn’t get through on booking.com or directly through the site and had to wait on the phone for help to speak to a human. Very frustrating and inconvenient was NOT made clear when booking that this was needed. All the more harder when there is no check in desk which I knew but when you have these issues when you turn at the location what can you do a part from wait two hours like I did

Fun but frustrating
Pros:

Really convenient location for Olympia. Funky vibe to room which was full of useful kit. The best breakfast in London despite it being a 10min walk from the hotel.

Cons:

Very small room. Absolutely ridiculous over complicated method of gaining entry to room and hotel.
