The place looks dirty and old at the outside but in the inside it looks the complete opposite but trying to see where you are staying is very tough to find once you check in doorway after door way and just seemed inconvenient

Excellent overall. My only concern was the noise coming from other people as they were closing the doors too loudly and were talking too loudly in the middle of the night.

The property was OK, but I was perturbed to be asked for photographic ID at check in. I don’t remember this bring mentioned in any correspondence and the fact that I was allowed to check in after I had confirmed my name, address and phone number shows how ridiculous this is. This has never stopped any criminal activity in my view.

Small and noisy
Firstly this is our third or fourth time at this hotel. Thiis time we were put in a small room with the double bed pushed up against the wall, It was on the first floor. It was very noisy with creaking floorboards both in our room and the room above. The fire doors slammed shut heavily every time they were used. The fire alarm went off at 6 30 ish in the morning. I am sre it was unavoidable but an explanation could have been given

Absolutely awful
The absolute worse hotel I have ever stayed, at the room stank, the toilet was extremely dirty inside, all the tiles in the floor was cracked, the door handles had something sticky all over them, the shower and bath were full of grime along with the tiles, the pillow may aswell have not been there it was so thin. The walls were paper thin, we could literally hear every word of the conversations going on next door. The fire alarm was going off. The carpet was filthy. I’ve never had a worse sleep or felt so dirty staying anywhere in my life. The only reason I didn’t leave and go elsewhere was that I couldn’t find another hotel so last minute but I tried

The stay was great I've stayed before. However this time I was in a room overviewing the street and got limited sleep with the noise of people outside. Also one of the beds had sand on a portion of the sheets under a cushion. Otherwise once again a good stay.

Just very dirty and there was even mould in the shampoo and body wash bottles. Ripped wall paper in room and very very small room meant for 2 people. Tv barely worked and asked for water and got told to drink out of bathroom tap. Which didn’t even run cold by the way. The bed was gritty like somebody ate toast in it before us and just generally uncomfortable. When we entered the room it smelt of vinegar we had to open all windows as it stunk that bad. Very inconvenient to not have a lift while carrying heavy luggage up stairs. No iron either and just lack of essential items. Worse sleep of my life

This place was very dirty. My blankets had old coffee/blood stains. The new towels they would give us every day didn’t seem that clean. Also our door didn’t close properly you had to give it a good pull or push. We came back one afternoon to find our door wasn’t even closed.

Good quiet base for a London visit
Good budget hotel in the clean and safe Jewish suburb of Golders Green. Decent sized rooms for this kind of London accommodation plus a handy fridge. Initial hot days were tough with no air conditioning, and the shower had a mind of its own with the water cycling between hot and cold. Decent transport links, about 10 mins walk to the tube station.

On two of my three night at this hotel I was woken up by other guests banging on my door, screaming, yelling, slamming doors outside my room in the middle of the night, ongoing for multiple hours at a time. Quiet hours had been listed at this hotel, however no staff was there to make sure that these guests were being quiet. My partner and I are not originally from the UK and did not have access to a phone plan, nor did the room have a phone to contact the front desk. We did not feel safe enough to exit our room at this time to see what was going on and feared for our safety at certain points. During the day, we spoke to two different receptionists at the front desk, both of which told us they were unable to do anything for us without a manager. We are extremely disappointed in their service of this hotel and are highly unlikely to ever come back or recommend this stay. On top of this the hotel was extremely dirty. There was visible mould on the doors, stains all over the floors, visibly unwashed sinks, garbage left from previous guests and a terrible smell.

Check in a nightmare as didn’t have photo id, no idea we needed this so at one point didn’t think we would be able to have rooms. Dirty rooms, stains on sheets, some lights didn’t work, shower dirty. Unable to open window. Had booked as when searched online was looking for hotels near Wembley hence booked as it gave a different walking distance on search. It wasn’t till got there realised would be over 4 hour walk and tubes not direct or easiest to there!! All in all pretty shabby, dirty, noisy, unpleasant experience!!!

Mixed Review
Good points - Location, parking, price. Bad points - took ages to locate my room as the receptionist told me it was first floor and it was actually on the 2nd floor. Also the following morning i woke up with bad bites to me knee and shoulder both of which had been covered up all day except for when in the bed.
