Amazing a clean and a warm place I felt great kind and friendly stuff and a happy night. Unmistakable .All excellent. Recommended.
The room I was assigned to had a very comfortable bed but the overall space was very small. ||I had a lot of luggage and it would have been preferable for there to be a cupboard in room. ||Nice en-suite. ||Staff were overall friendly and attentive when I needed assistance (particularly the night team) but on a whole, there wasn’t a great deal of interaction and I didn’t sample the breakfast throughout my stay.
Very well located with regards to Clapham South Tube station. I would say that the standard of the room in terms of size and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The cleaning staff seemed uninterested. The room floor was dirty, the bathroom wasn't well cleaned in the nooks and crannies - and these things are important and make a big difference to the impression given. The top of the coat rack was filthy. I can't believe it had ever been cleaned. The standard of in room furniture was very poor too; the shelf wasn't very secure and there wasn't even a proper wardrobe. Wallpaper was coming off one surface. I would suggest to them do a thorough review of your cleaning and maintenance staff, set a higher minimum standard of cleanliness and maintain the furnishings properly.
I stayed here for a week before moving into my flat and I wish I hadn’t. I arrived with three large bags, but my first room was literally the size of the bed, and that was it. I had to put my bags in the shower to be able to move around. I figured I’d deal with it, but when I took a shower, the water was FREEZING (this was in January). It never warmed up and I couldn’t even wash my hair it was so uncomfortably cold. After two nights I asked to switch rooms, which after they realized what room I was in and how long I was staying finally agreed. But I had to lug all my bags back downstairs (through the tiny hallways) and wait for a few hours while they turned the rooms over. My new room was still small, but perfectly acceptable - bonus that it had hot water, too. The rest of my stay was without incident in that room - the temperature was a little hard to control but not terrible. WiFi is expensive to do every day but I had to as I didn’t yet have a phone in the UK. Convenient to the Northern line but ultimately if I were to do it again, I’d spend a little more for a better experience.
It's very basic. Second time I've been here and two times the alarm went off late at night. Noisy in the corridors with slamming doors echoing. Everything is a bit dated. The telephone was not connected which I informed them about so I couldn't dial into reception to ask why the fire alarm has gone off instead I had to get dressed, go to reception to ask only to be told a shower had tripped the alarm. The bed is comfortable, the place nice and warm. The room is small. The floor is laid with vinyl that is peeling. The bed light kept flickering. Despite my list of things I still enjoyed staying there. The staff were extremely amiable and the room was functional plus warm at night which is a plus for me as I feel the cold. I would definitely go again.
I had a cozy room with clean bathroom. Every day towels were renewed. Conditions are commensurate to cost. Staff is also really kind and helpful. Hotel is in perfect localization close to underground. |There is just one negative think that I have to say - when I was in my romm I could have heard every noice from the hall. It wasn't comfortable. But, to sum up - I hope I will be back :)
Staff were very rude from day 1. Unfortunately I've had to spend the week here. The room feels like it should be a storage room, almost as if they've squeezed it in to make a few more quid. No window to the outside. Power was turning on and off quite a lot. There's a chair in the room but it's pointless because of the size of the roo. Can't move the chair out to use it because it's basically touching the bed. Bed was comfortable and shower was clean but very cold! After getting out of the shower its beyond freezing! Decor is dated in the main lobby. Watch your step on the carpet tiles if you're staying on the ground floor. I would say cheap and cheerful however this wouldn't be a fair review..... Cheap.
The hotel is not so bad as it has been described!!! It has small rooms, but we did not spend so much time in it. It is not the cleanest hotel in the world, but at least the sheet were ok (anyway don't look under the bed or into the radiator). The location is perfect, just close to the tube station of Clapham South and with a bus stop just in front of the hotel. The place is for me the best place where to stay in London (considering my budget :-), it is just a shame that the staff has not costumer service at all!! Nobody smiles, no one recognizes you when you pass by the reception, it looks like you are bothering them every time you stop by asking something (in my case, my key card got demagnetized every day every time I got back, basically, it never worked)! Just the lady at the check out was very nice. It seems like that the staff wanted to tell us:"We are very happy you are leaving!!! Of course I will come back again and of course I will advise this hotel to my friends, but I do not expect a warm welcoming!!!
