Did not like anything about the place. It was dirty, we had no "shared toilet" on the top floor as it was marked out of order and had to go to the 2nd floor for facilities. Curtains were not even hang properly using rusty wire. There was not even a shower facility for a family of 5 adults. Staff did not even speak any English. We will not be using this place again.

Location.it is central point very near to the metro station.

Saleem, Pakistan

Good, convenient location near tube station, all central London attractions are within 30 mins by tube. Low price and friendly staff.

Neelesh, United Kingdom

The location was excellent! Staff were very friendly and willing to help and go that extra mile!

Abby, United Kingdom

nothing to say. BAAAAD. Not a hotel and the worst B&B I have ever lodged in.

Eghosa, USA

Simple - friendly staff, but as for facilities - do not expect much, and you'll be happy enough ))

Pinewomble, United Kingdom

The staff was very accommodating allowing us to drop our bags off early when we arrived before check in

Rebecca, USA

The room was just awful. We had booked a double room but were given a triple with 3 single beds in it. The beds were camp beds that were decked with tartan travel rugs, not so much as a duvet or proper blanket. The toilet was so small that your knees touched the door when you sat on it. The shower was tiny too, you had to step out of it to be able to turn around.

Moira, United Kingdom

Staff very friendly. Room was clean but very basic. Location brill and easy to find

Katie, United Kingdom

nice and clean room & bathroom, enough breakfast. the accommodation is close to the underground but the place is still quite and clean.

What travellers love about this location

“Very good value for money in room 2 there is a shower and sink in the room and it is reasonably quiet. Breakfast is on time and staff friendly although don't speak a lot of English. WI-FI in the room is non existent despite advertising WI-FI in rooms. Overall a good base with parking after 6.30pm right outside.”

Winnie

United Kingdom

“Good location, spacious room ”

Laura

United Kingdom

“Absolutely everything. The staff greet you with a chocolate biscuit and after a few minutes of confusion at the fact they have a guest, you are sent off to find your room. Heading down into the basement you squeeze around a few hotel supplies and enter your room that shares a door with the staff area. The room comes with a couple of prickly blankets that make you think of home, and a shower at the head of the bed. The shower easily accommodates two people and has a step to sit on when you get tired of waiting for the hot water to come. It is a great venue for contemplating life as you do not get any cell or wifi signal in the room, plus whenever someone flushes a toilet you get the soothing sound of water cascading loudly on top of your room. At check out you get another chocolate biscuit that you can munch on whilst the hotel owner tried to hunt down your deposit for the next 10 minutes. This place has so much character and has you laughing at every turn - will definitely be back”

눉We had to go back later to check in, because our room was not ready in time. The cleaner/kitchen staff could not speak English. Had to be very careful with the shower door because it could fall off. Breakfast was absolutely disappointing. Had to wait for table, had to go into the kitchen to ask for plates and cutlery-but he did not speak English. Got some toast and could chose from muesli, corn flakes, boiled eggs, jam, and fat spread.
눇Nothing.

눉This is an old house converted into hotel, and provides only basic facilities. The maintenance and cleanliness of this property could be better. Rooms were ok.Breakfast was included but it was very basic, just bread and butter, corn flakes and boiled eggs.

눉The room was nothing like what we saw on the photos on booking.com. We stayed downstairs in the basement and there was a bad smell and cobwebs everywhere. We booked 3 nights but actually left early before our 3rd night because it was so bad. It's a good location but I would never sleep there.

눉After we had travelled to London, we had a phone call telling us that our room would be cancelled if I didn't give my card details over the phone. Not good to feel my family and I would not have accommodation after booking it correctly. We had to cut short our sightseeing and head straight for the hotel or risk having nowhere to stay.
눇It was value for money for a budget hotel

눉The beds were camp beds, ignore the photos they show on here. You will be given camp beds pushed together with what is believed to be mouse traps underneath. The shower smelled so badly of damp and mould and the stains surrounding the sink and making the floor sticky were so bad along with the bits of food left in the drawers and mould and damp growing on the walls behind the wardrobes and walls - I forked out more money and went to a premier inn at gone 10pm. Staying here would have made us ill no doubt breathing in those fumes. Please do not use room 17 and room 5. The smells and dirtyness was horrendous. The noise was a joke, just awful all in all.
눇Awful, mould on walls, the smell was so pungent in room 5 that it made us gag. Please don't open the shower door, the smell is eveb worse than that of just the room. There were dirty huge stains around the sink which looked to be that of human waste of some kind or some other vile smelling substance.

눉We stayed at Windsor House for one night. We were booked for five nights but moved out after one as it was nowhere near what was promised on the website The rooms were filthy (not a little bit dirty but utterly filthy) The bereakfast was very poor, the breakfast area was dirty an we couldn't even get a napkin. And there was no service. There was no hot water in the bathroom. As we mentioned this to the staff we were told to let the water run for three minutes. We let it run for 30 with no result. When we told the staff this we were told "there should be hot water" which didn't help us at all. The service was close to non existent. When asking for an extra blanket we were told to turn up the radiator instead as the person in the reception didn't want to look for a blanket. On the website it said there would be free wifi but there was no access in the room. Neither was there a working tv. There was a television set but not plugged in. None of the bedside lamps were working. The beds were old and uncomfortable The minuscule bathroom had a door with a non functioning lock and I was locked in and had to struggle to get out. All in all the place was torn down, noicy and unfriendly.

눉Warning!!!!!! The place is disgusting and not a hotel. There isn't a bathroom in the room. Instead there is a shower cabin. The floors beneath the cabins have probably begun to rot, because you can see damage due to damp on the ceilings beneath the cabin floors. The beds are awful, rusty hospital beds from pre-war time, with wheels!!!! The matresses are covered with plastic!
