“For a budget-conscious trip to London, its location near bus and train lines offers a real advantage. While some past guests mention noise due to being on a main road, others appreciated the in-room amenities such as the TV. From what I gathered, if you understand it's an older building, you're setting your expectations correctly.”

Acceptable Budget Stay

convenient locationpolite hostthin wallssmall room
The location was very convenient. It was a short walk to the bus stop and I found that quite useful. The host was very polite. I felt safe upon arrival. He gave clear instructions. I also appreciated the big fan provided during a very hot period.
The walls seemed thin. I could hear a lot of noise from other guests and outside. The constant noise made it difficult to sleep sometimes. The room was also quite small. There was not much space to move around.
