2.Customer service poor and didn't take any action its seems like without paying money so booked a room.
3.Now come to The main point another one its about Bed which is uncomfortable because of matres its was totally a damage and inside broken and all spring inside of matres its hurted overnight our back part of body even we both didn't sleep overnight.And our back pain started already again.
So the overall experience is 0.And we was now exhausted.Even they didn't take afford to change our room if they want they will because that time it was only 8 pm.

Safe spot, everything else is not great
Pros:

The staff were friendly and tried to be as helpful as they could. Felt safe.

Cons:

AC was broken in the room, was not offered a move or discount. The sink in the bathroom was leaking, we were told just to put a towel on the floor. The key card scanner on the door didn't work, the door didn't lock automatically so we had to go get a key. The top of the window sill was COVERED in dust. The walls were dirty. The inside did not look like the pictures at all.

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

The doors did not close on the lock, if we left the room, any stranger could enter. The doors could only be locked from the inside. The towels also had a bad smell

Terrible - I wouldn’t stay here for free.
Pros:

N/A - I’m unable to answer given the circumstances.

Cons:

The room I was given was disastrous to say the least. The bathroom ceiling was covered in black mould and the paint was flaking. The room also had black mould on the window fixings and on the wall. The room felt like a temporary set up with little to no thought on decoration.

Upon contacting the reception I was told there were no other rooms available to move into, leaving me in London with no place to stay. No apology, no solution. Raising it with Booking.com to which they responded the hotel has refused to give a refund due to the “facilities being used” which they weren’t. I have since escalated this complaint, informed the parent company and if anything fails to get done I will be taking it further.

Absolutely unacceptable state of a hotel! Wouldn’t stay here for free let alone for the money I spent. Do not stay here.
