Disappointing, nothing like the photos.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The property was smelling of smoke, even though it was a non smoking room.
The beds were in bad shapes. The pictures dont look at all like it looked in real life. It was dirty and suspicious.
They did change our towels daily, and one time even the bedsheet.

Pros:

La habitación era muy espaciosa, con 3 camas de matrimonio grandes perfectas para las 5 que viajábamos. Teníamos disponibles dos toallas para cada una, destacando nos las cambiaban por otras limpias cada día.

Cons:

Lo único negativo a mencionar es que, al estar nuestra habitación alojada en el sótano de la casa, los techos eran un poco bajos. Por otro lado, pese a que el baño disponía de todo lo necesario, la ducha era bastante pequeña.

Buena estancia
Pros:

La ubicación es buena, estaba a 20 minutos aproximadamente del centro. Rodeado de comercios y un centro comercial que podías atravesarlo para acceder a la estación de autobuses y metro, Estaba a 10 minutos andando.
Tenía servicio de limpieza de habitaciones l (algo que nos sorprendió gratamente y no lo sabíamos) también teníamos una nevera, el personal fue bastante atento y agradable.

Cons:

Diría que tienen aspectos a mejorar como por ejemplo la conexión de red WiFi pero tampoco fue algo importante, deberían mejorar la limpieza en general de zonas más específicas por ejemplo el baño

Pros:

​Perfect location and comfortable room!
I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is located right next to Stratford tube station, which makes traveling around London super convenient. The room was warm and very clean. Having a microwave, fridge, and kettle in the room was a huge plus. The neighborhood feels very safe too. Would definitely stay again!

Relación calidad precio perfecto
Pros:

Todo. Tiene los mejores anfitriones que he estado nunca en un alojamiento, nada mas llegar nos dieron agua, un secador y un adaptador de corriente. Luego para irnos nos guardaron las mochilas y otra vez nos dieron agua.
Está cerca del centro (25 minutos en metro), limpio, cambio de toallas diario, café a diario.
Es perfecto para Londres, llegar dormir y ducharte.
Relación calidad precio insuperable

Cons:

Nada
