Stayed with friends for a night out from London. Cheap, cheerful hotel. Friendly staff. The door staff where a bit off putting and more like thugs but just ignore them. Room could have been cleaner and the noise from other rooms a bit quieter, if you want a quiet hotel this is not the place on a Friday or Saturday... More

Struggling up to the fourth floor with heavy luggage is not a good start to the night. Usual bleak interior that we expect from Ibis and the like, Feltham Young Offenders stylee, but for £65 not a great deal, especially with the unexpected exercise! Booked late though, beggars can't be choosers.

I’m sorry we failed to live up to your expectations. The team and I appreciate your feedback. I would like to apologise for the lifts being out of service.

Although it is basic I find this hotel to be great. It is clean, great service and nice rooms. Although I am not too keen on the bathroom arrangements, with the shower basically as part of the main room. The location is not too far from central, 5/10 minutes max walk. I would definitely recommend this hotel for short stays.

Just completed the Ibis survey following a stay at the above last night. Deliberately arrived late, 12.30am, thinking that one would just swan in and get one's head down straight away.
