Good value for dollar. Everything was basic but clean. Location is excellent. Walking distance to Victoria station (coach, Gatwick express train and tube). If you have mobility issues this hotel is not for you as there are no lifts and the breakfast area is down a flight of stairs. Our only complaint, there was no hot water for our morning shower.

The hotel is very small old, doesn’t have ventilation , one small fan in a room with 4 beds, the bathroom is super small, the door cannot be locked. The rooms are small paid too much to be in the basement, have to leave the door open all night to get some air in the room.

What you get for the moneh

Room was serviceable and what you’d expect for the money. Gentleman at front desk was great and made wonderful recommendations for local restaurants. The “continental breakfast” was extremely disappointing. Stale cereal or one slice of toast per person and some warm yogurt. No fruit or anything else.

It was ok. Old carpet on the floor, tiny bathroom and no AC, which made sleeping tough with the heat.
