Disgusting Accommodation DO NOT stay here
This accommodation was disgusting and should not be used by anyone. When we arrived there was no one there to greet us, we were given a code to a key safe. As we went in the smell of damp was palpable. There was no electricity, and the only way to contact the manager was through Whatsapp. After a wait of just over half an hour, someone was sent to sort out the electric. Unfortunately this meant we could see the disgusting state that the rooms were in even more. To say they were substandard is a gross understatement. The first room we were told to use had no bed linen and was more like a store room, the beds were all damp to the touch, and the stairs down to it were a death trap. After several messages we were told to use a different room, which was only slightly better. The bathrooms were black with mould and stank of damp, the shared bathroom had a hole in the window and the cistern was constantly running. I have bad asthma and was so affected by the damp I had to take my inhaler. Our children were so devastated by the state of the place, it spoilt our weekend away completely. We asked for someone to come and see us but no one even answered the message. I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone even for a dog. Needless to say we did NOT stay here. If it wasn't for my partners family coming to the rescue this special family treat would have been ruined. We would like our money back as this was misrepresented and looked nothing at all like the pictures on the website.

not a hotel - not family friendly - great location
This is more like a very poorly ran air bnb. Use whatsapp to call the phone number as it shows him online and he will EVENTUALLY pick up. The other option is to pound on the front door. There is a guy who lives in the building who will let you in. Once in the room, we had to buy our own towels, TV was broken, roof leaked during heavy rain, and the toilet was a bit janky. This room worked though for 3 friends wanting to meet up and use as a launching point for London. If that is what you're looking for this is a great property, just don't expect any of the comforts or conveniences you would get at a hotel. again, use WhatsApp to make calls and text. The two days I spent calling, the only responses I got were on WhatsApp.

The most terrible experience ever.
Your website has false information about this place. It says there is lift and there isn't any at the property. Our room was on the 3rd floor and the stairs are very narrow and made it almost impossible for us to carry our luggage. The website says there is a private bathroom and there is only one bathroom to be shared with all the other guests in the property and it's on the first floor, so we had to come down 2 floors to use the toilet and it was busy most of the times. The host is very rude and unfriendly at all, it was very difficult to get hold of him. We have tried to contact the costumer service immediately to cancel the booking and look for somewhere else to go but the number is no longer in use, so we where trapped in this terrible place for 2 days. It was the most terrible experience I ever had.

I liked the location. It was perfect for coming and going in any direction with trains, buses, hop on hop off bus... Very cheap price, especially in our case, a family with 4 children, it made a difference to save more money for food. We had the top floor , a room with 3 beds. The inconvenient was that the only bathroom was 2 floors down and shared with other people from 3 rooms.Depending on luck, how long you could need to wait in line for the bathroom. Arriving at night, it was scary at first. Alltough we received the entry code by email with one day in advance. Our plane was 2-3 hours late and I was lucky I asked for an entry code in case of unexpected delay. The building had a narrow stair, partial in dark, the room smelled terrible and we were not able to open the windows at the beginning, in the first 15 minutes. However, after we opened the windows and got fresh air, we appreciated the beds as pretty comfortable, clean, and also we had access to a balcony next to our room that was almost private and quiet toward the back. The front street was actually very noisy all night but we were tired and sleep very good anyway. (with opened windows) For the price, we didn't have much expectations and sleeping comfortable in those beds was enough. We wouldn't trust the safety of our room, so we carried all valuables with us, leaving only clothes in the room during the day. In fact, we left our only towel in the bathroom for 5 minutes & someone stolen it. We had to buy another.

Do not stay here. Super dirty, with bugs. Terrible
The beds are uncomfortable, the toilet is dirty. We saw a huge slug walking in the bathroom wall. This property should not be available to rent, i don’t understand how the reviews are not lower. I booked this thinking that it was an accommodation in line with the 3.8 avg score it had, but it actually should be lower than one
