I booked this hotel as a 40th Birthday surprise and emailed the hotel advising it was a 40th but got no reply....perhaps I was hoping for to much!

Arrived, checked in and all ok, had asked for joining rooms as we have 2 young children and got rooms on different floors which makes sharing the shampoo and toothpaste a cardiac workout! Rooms are basic, only 5 channels on TV but you are in London so TV is not a priority.

After 1st night I noticed bite marks from insects on my arms, checked the beds and found....what we think were bed bugs, now I am home and checked on the net I am convinced! In fact I am still itching now!

Rooms get very warm, our windows looked onto the back, into private homes so make sure your curtains are closed. The floors creak but it is old.

Breakfast is very very simple. Its not even what I would class a continental breakfast which is what it was advised as. You get a pot of Tea, Coffee or Chocolate. 3 Rounds of toast (4 people), the \"buffet\" is a plate of cheese slices, ham slices, buns, yoghurts, fruit (tinned) and cereal...(how old??).

The staff are all foreign, If you need help getting to places ask at the tube, they are very helpful. Bar is for the dead or elderly only, the lady serving spent the hour glaring at us as we only got 1 round!

So I think thats it, we will not be staying there again...its cheap (ish) not cheerful and very basic....and with bed bugs

Convenient location, close to transport routes. Spacious, spotless rooms, but the interiors need refurbishment. Lacks some amenities. Ample breakfast service. Worth it, would return.
