Pros:

Great location, easy access to jump on the tube and lots of great shops and store stores nearby to get water and snacks. Separate bathrooms in the hallways were nice to have access to when multiple people have to go at the same time

Cons:

With our family of five this room was really tight. The bathroom was very tiny like an airplane bathroom.

Pros:

Lokalizacja obiektu

Cons:

Pokój klaustrofobiczny, mikroskopijna łazienka, strome, wąskie schody, jedno krzesło w pokoju 4-osobowym, brak choćby małego stolika w pokoju na którym możnaby coś zjeść, łóżka piętrowe na których siedząc uderzasz głową w ramę górnego łóżka, skromne śniadania, zbyt wysoka cena na oferowane warunki.

Pros:

La primera habitación que nos dieron estaba en la planta -1, tuvimos que ir a quejarnos, ya que era imposible dormir allí debido a la calor que hacía y la imposibilidad de abrir las ventanas que daban a un patio de luz,. Al día siguiente, nos pudieron cambiar de habitación y nos dieron una en la planta 1 con la posibilidad de abrir las ventanas y poder ventilar la ventilación para la calor.

Puedes dejar las maletas sin coste alguno.

Value for money!!!
Pros:

The location is very close to the station. Reception is open 24*7, so checking in late was not a problem. Rooms were pretty clean and tidy. For this cost, place was very good.

Cons:

The beds fealt a bit small in size. Guess for a lodge, it might be the standard size.
