Awful hotel experience. Only booked because of its ratings on Trip.com and because the last accommodation recommended by trip.com was a good one. Accommodation and bed was indescribable, with insects in bed, dirty bedsheets., broken bed. Will have to focus on ******* and other places before looking at trip.com again for accommodation. Couldn't even sleep. Would not recommend.

The staff are very friendly and kind, but the overall cleanliness of the accommodation is terrible. However, there are not many places in London where you can get a very simple breakfast (just to fill up your stomach) at a fairly cheap price, so you should consider the price. The sheets and pillow covers smelled bad, and the bathroom and shower room smelled a bit and were not very clean. ㅠ However, the radiator in the room was turned on so I was able to sleep without worrying about the cold, which was nice. In order to shorten the time spent on direct London sightseeing, the accommodation is a bit far from the city center, except for the National History Museum and the V&A Museum, so it would not be bad to choose a similarly priced accommodation in the city center.

My stay at the hotel was good. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth check-in experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with modern amenities. The location was perfect, with easy access to local attractions and tube station. Overall, it was a relaxing and pleasant stay, and I would definitely return.

Cats are a big plus!! Then deductions😡lie that the luggage storage fee is 10p per day I saw on Ctrip that the storage fee is 2p per day, but when I got there, the front desk said that I had too much luggage and couldn't go upstairs, so I could only store it, 20p per piece per day, and because I had too much luggage, the storage fee was almost higher than the accommodation fee, so I felt something was wrong, so I went to booking to check it out, searched for keywords in the comments, and it said 2p, so I asked the front desk, are you sure you have always been at this standard? She said yes very confidently, and then I showed her the booking comments, she was silent... and then said you can move all the luggage upstairs... Isn't it because you think I'm easy to bully? Haha, if you mess with me, you're kicking cotton😆 But other than that, the accommodation experience is good, the hygiene is average, and I met a very pretentious man, other than that, nothing else

There is no hair dryer, so it's best to bring one. The breakfast was an English breakfast and was very delicious. Although it lacked cleanliness, the guests were very friendly and there was a place to eat on the first floor, so it was only natural that we became friends.

It exceeded expectations. There are Chinese female waiters on weekends. They are very good. The guy at the front desk can speak a little Chinese. The breakfast is rich, which is difficult to find in London.
