This hotel is very deceiving when it comes to the booking photos. In the photos, it just looks outdated, but once you are there, the paint and the wallpaper are peeling and there was what looked to be dried blood on the walls. There were also stains on the ceiling, both water and something else. The toilet also stopped working and we were told to give it 20 minutes, and that maintenance would look at it the next day. Also, I could not find where it was disclosed on the website that you could not drink the tap water, but there is a sign in the bathroom - and then they provide a kettle, but you shouldn’t drink the water, so…? When we reached out about a refund (would have settled for even a partial), we were denied, which is crazy to me considering the photos are false advertising at the least. It’s fair to say that despite the friendly staff, this hotel was one of the worst I have stayed at in London. I do not recommend booking a stay here.
