There's not really that much you can say about this hotel.

Generally very basic, and I mean BASIC and a little to close to the road for some people, but take a set of earplugs and you'll sleep fine!

Used by a lot of city break tour companies for a one night stay. ALSO used by a lot of "couples" (if you know what I mean) who arrive at 11.00 and are out the door by 3pm!

I found the rooms to be extremely dirty with need of a good clean, but obviously the usual customers don't moan as they don't actually stay overnight! Staff often enter rooms and leave them open for the world to see, so take any valuables with you.

Good if you just want to put your head down for the night, but avoid if you want to use it as a base to visit London.

I paid £30 for my room, but be warned, there's no closet, so you will have to live out of your suitcase for the duration of your stay. Bathroom is out in the hallway and not very welcoming.

You can pay an extra £2.50 for a continental breakfast, but I think your better walking down the road and going into the local Tesco Store, you'll get better value for your money!

I do repeat, there aren't many places in London you can stay for £30, but I would only stay for a night at most!

I would think twice about recommending this place to a "tourist", but for the occasional one night or emergency stop.... certainly worth the money.
