A to Z Hotel - London

D S.

The place I was residing in was a lounge dressed up as a bedroom.

If you have rubbish, you need your own black bag and if you would like to dispose of it, the council black bin is outside for you to dump around. Let the council deal with your rubbish, is the hotel's reply.

Severe human odour all round the premises, with no refurbishments in or out. As if they praying for the hotel to be haunted.

You meet all sorts of people and most are relevantly okay. Not so much a group of people from a part of Europe. Which all they will do is lurk outside the hotel, checking strangers out, smoking, drinking and being loud with their language.

Since it's on a road linked to a busy motorway there are loud noises, 18 out of 24 hours a day.

Also there were a few mice traps within the corridors so imagine that

The fridge in the canteen has expired, mouldy food with...it's not the one.

Couple times, fire alarms went off in a week. I left the premises, but except one, everyone else stayed in. They were so use to it they left their senses outside the hotel.

Toilets stayed grim for my entire time being there. Hotel will not present tissue so you must include that in your budget.

If you're looking for peace, you will not find it, other than people who love to be nosy as a pastime.

I weakly would use the hotel as a pit stop and would not recommend staying for long. "Doom and Gloom" is the motto.

Budget hotel. The staff member I dealt with was very friendly and the hotel is in a great location. My room was warm and sparsely furnished but fulfilled my requirements perfectly. The price was excellent. The bathroom enables you to have a shower, use the toilet, and brush your teeth all at the same time, very efficient.

Ok hotel, cheap and get what you pay for. Some rooms can be decent and reasonably clean, but have stayed in a couple rooms where we were not happy. Needs a massive refurbishment and deep clean. But staff can be friendly and has usually attended to me and my partners requests. You are lucky to get a kettle as there are only some in a few rooms but may be lucky requesting one.

Room stinks of smoke, fire alarm is actually covered by a carrier bag (be it previous guest or hotel staff this is an appalling lack of health and safety). Room is very basic. Although the white sheets seem clean the rest of the bedding does not (and also stinks of smoke). Bathroom has poor drainage and lacking anywhere to hang towels. There is a kettle in the room but nothing allowing you to actually use it (cups for example). Basic breakfast is included but not sure if i actually want to risk eating it. Cheap but worth paying a bit more to go elsewhere.

The first staff Member we met was very good. His English was poor but very helpful. Gave us choice of rooms and was almost apologetic that we had chosen to stay there.
The room itself was ok. Small and dated but adiquitley clean. The shower and toilet where the same. Nothing to write home about but no dirty. The room had a slight smell of cigarettes coming through the vent system. But nothing bad. Bed was clean and averagely comfortable. As a whole it was a room for the night nothing else.
The free breakfast in the morning was just toast and coffee. The breakfast staff where pleasant when the where not in their phone's.
All in all. Short stays only. Nothing special. Still London prices for £79 for two nights.

Where do I begin? Firstly I thought this would be a cheap and cheerful place to spend a couple of nights whilst exploring London and all its sight. The hotel smelt awful and was not kept clean at all. The room was not clean and the beds were extremely uncomfortable! There was a dirty sock hanging from what I assume was a smoke alarm in our room. Worst of all there was a used condom on top of the wardrobe. I’ve never felt so disgusted!! Never again! Avoid this place, you have been warned!

How can I describe this hotel - well, anywhere that has heating listed as a feature kind of describes itself!||On our arrival, we were directed to our room by the friendly guy on "reception", and, after traversing the antique carpeted staircase, opened the door with much anticipation - we were not disappointed. There actually was heating and, when it was on, the constant cold draught from the window assisted in distributing the warm air around the room. The bedspreads displayed "memories" of other peoples stays, as did the gnarled edges of the desk (assuming from being used as a convenient bottle opener) and the various handles and knobs for the wardrobes and drawers provided an interesting spot the difference game. The lack of headboards on the beds allowed for some exciting abstract art of greasy staining which wouldn't look out of place in Tate Modern and, upon entering the bathroom, we discovered some of the best features. The ability to be able to wash your hands whilst sat on the toilet can never be underestimated and saved a lot of time! When bending over the sink to wash, the door hitting you from behind ensures that you don't put your back out, a great safety feature. The use of pubic hair as an art form in a shower is something I have not seen before, but was cleverly combined with the décor of the rest of the "cubicle" to showcase the rich history of the establishment (well done!). I feel that the description of this hotel has not done it justice, and more of the features mentioned here should be highlighted to prospective customers (the three broken coat hangers provided in the wardrobe teach you to find inventive ways to hang clothing!). All in all, was a great stay for £45 a night and has ensured that I have a much needed health check up at the doctors ASAP, so win, win!||Thanks A to Z for a memorable trip to London!
