This is a great guest house.
My only objection was that they record a credit card in case of damage even after the room is paid. I know many places take a deposit, but this allows anyone to blame the guest for something that may have been damaged by anyone entering the room after you leave including a cleaner. And there is not a limit. Eg £100- they could potentially rob you if they wanted.
The hotel itself is immaculate, great WiFi and location. The water pressure in the shower is fantastic! After a bad day, it was very appreciated.

Clean, handy, budget guest house

I was ground floor which was handy for luggage. Clean room. Good shower. Shower itself was a decent size but shower room was very small and quite hard to close the bathroom door, especially with the bath mat down. Complimentary shower gel/shampoo & conditioner. Mattress wasn't great so didn't sleep very well. You'll need an eye mask if there's a window as the blinds didn't stop the bright lights outside. Surprisingly quiet with the window shut. Complimentary tea & coffee. I was close to the toilet which was handy. The toilet was very clean and well stocked with toilet roll. There was a TV but it was really high up & angled towards the corner of the ceiling!

For the money in London, the guest house was fine, but because of the bad sleep it was just ok.

We stayed at this hotel for an event at Clapham Grand, perfect location and lots of transport links nearby and a cheeky McDonalds next door. Room was cosy with great facilities, the bathroom was wonderful, but it lacked storage space and everything was a little narrow to move around without knocking into something. Lots of sockets and USB charge points. Comes with kettle, hairdryer and fan. The shower was lovely however the door didn't completely close which led to water leaking out, the soundproofing leaves a lot to be desired - the road outside is so noisy throughout the night and you can hear neighbours above and next door. For the price it's not 100% worth it, but it is a safe, cosy stay which is perfect for one or two nights. Our biggest complaint was the placement of the TV, we had to sit on the ledge above the beds to see it clearly and it was strangely placed above the bathroom door. Due to the area I wouldn't recommend for solo female travellers.

Very convenient in terms of transportation, bus stops right in front. However, the WiFi didn’t work in my room. I wished I would have been able to check in early as I was really tired from my early flight but it is what it is. Beware that you’ll have a bathroom but no actual toilet if you have a basic standard room. The toilet is shared which I didn’t like.

You can leave your luggage the day of your check in and the day of your check out which is helpful and there’s a McDonalds right outside.

As a young female travelling alone I felt reasonably comfortable in this hotel. I was initially given the room on the front of the building on the ground floor... this for myself did not feel particularly safe, the only other room they had available was the one on the same floor next to the reception. This room needs some serious soundproofing as I was awake pretty much every hour of the night with people checking in/ out. I made a complaint about this and they managed to move me for my remaining 3 nights, which made a massive difference! The next room I stayed in was in the second building, top floor at the back and drastically quieter!
The room was clean and for a short stay had everything I needed. It's about a 10/15 minute walk to the tube station and for the price & them being accommodating I would stay again.

Great location - we were heading to a gig at Brixton Academy. Train station 2 min walk.
Handy to have a McDonald’s on your doorstep for a quick bite to eat at any time. Spotlessly clean room and bathroom. Very comfortable. Not the biggest twin room but fine for our needs. Nice to have a kettle etc. for a cuppa in the morning.
Noise from the road could impact some especially if you want the window open but it’s on a main road in London so it should expected at all hours!
Would not hesitate to stay again if we’re heading to O2 academy.

Thin walls need sound insulation room 22

Room 22 down in the basement single room. Expected it to be lovely and quiet for an early start for a charity event.
Gone midnight I was awoken by the sound of water running loudly and quickly almost down the wall in the corner. I thought I'd left a tap on but 2 people came to their room amd must have had a shower. The stud walls were SO thin I could hear everything. The occupants got up at 5 a.m and although they tried to be quiet, I was still in the wide awake club after very poor sleep

Had a lovely stay! The place was very clean and easily accessible by taxi. A bonus is that there’s a McDonald’s right next door—perfect for a quick bite if you’re in a rush. Do note that in the evenings, it can get a bit lively with people singing or playing music loudly. It didn’t bother me, but if you’re sensitive to noise, it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, a great stay!

One of the worst hotel rooms I have seen

This was one of the worst hotel rooms I have ever been in. The bed looked unclean, and the bathroom had a horrible smell. The environment was noisy, with doors banging all night. There was a shower in the private bathroom but no toilet. You have to go to a public bathroom in the hall, which increases the noise. Stay out of this property if you can afford it anywhere else in the city.

Unsure if I would stay there again

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful. Room & building very clean. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Location was close to bus stop.
Cons: Very noisy at night especially on the weekends. The second night I barely slept due to the loud vehicles. After that I bought ear plugs. No hot water for shower in the mornings. Showers were only warm. Only hot showers at night. Water will turn off if used too much! I had no shower on my last day due to water being off. The air freshener or cleaning detergent used was overpowering.The smell was too strong & gave me a headache which is a “me” problem and not a hotel problem. The window was nice to have for fresh air.
One suggestion would be to add a couple of hooks in the room to hang coats. There wasn’t much space to put personal items.

Stayed for 2 nights whilst incorporating sight seeing with a visit to US Embassy. Check in was quick and receptionist was very freindly and showed us the way to our room. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Stayed during a warm spell of weather so room was very warm but a fan had been provided in the room. Our room was towards the back of the accommodation on the side. Even so if window was open even slightly road traffic and aircraft noise could be heard. No food served here but a good comfortable stay and rates were good. Bus stops virtually right outside in both directions. Would stay here again.

I was taken in by the amount of positive reviews for this place. I wish I also looked a little deeper into the negative 1s.
My stay was terrible. One of/if not they worst stays I have paid for.

I paid for a premium room, room was fine had everything I needed for short stay. Room was located on ground floor right by the stairs and entry door. It was also in a different building from the reception. So you can imagine how bad this was.

Noisy is an understatement. You can hear noise from all directions which meant sleep was a lottery based on how other guests behaved. You could hear everything from the rooms next to you, tv blaring, laughing, shouting, nothing that promoted relaxation.
Entry door was open and closing on regular basis.
Guests were thumping up and down stairs without any consideration for others.
Floorboards in rooms above creaked when walked on, echoing in my room.
Safe to say I got little to no sleep and left for an important meeting absolutely shattered. I will never stay there again. The only positive for me was McDonalds a stones throw away.
I just hope others will benefit from my review and not go through same experience. A complete waste of money.

Ok so it was in the right location for the activity we were taking part in. I can’t say anything about the outer rooms however our room was at the top of the hotel very hot and stuffy with only a roof window to open. Room above a fast food outlet open till 2:00am. Window had to be open to cool the room a fan was supplied but that was more noisy than the fast food out let. Also as the window had to be open due to the time year we stayed, we were woken early by the light.

I suggest you bring earplugs or noise cancelling earphones in case you are given a room facing the street. Noise is extremely disturbing, barely able to sleep. Better isolation would be the next best investment for them.

Also, rather small room (double room) and barely any flat surfaces. You are always wondering where to drop your stuff.

Except that, very clean, good room service and about 15min bus ride to big ben and areas. Mixed feelings about this one.

Avoid the ground floor rooms as it is like sleeping in reception. There is nothing close by except for McDonald’s drive thru which we could see, hear and smell from our room. Carpets in rooms are dark blue and feel tacky. Wardrobes open fronted so no excuse for them to be dusty. Reception is a desk and phone surrounded by suitcases. No discernible facilities so McDonald’s breakfast or nowt. Large dumpsters outside which were being rooted through at various times of the afternoon and evening. Think we missed some inside tricks with this place as there must be nicer rooms upstairs and in the annexed building. It’s a £7 taxi ride to either Stockwell or Clapham North tubes stations. Bathroom was warm modern and clean but very small. TV was tiny and placed high up near the ceiling for some reason. Didn’t see any staff really but heard them.
