I wish I had read the reviews on this hotel. I like many people judged the hotel by its outside and lobby pictures and was sorely disappointed. The location is great, but the hotel room was so disgusting that I was tempted to sleep in the lobby. The first room we were given had questionable stains on the bed cover and there was no room to place our luggage so we asked for another room. Although the second wasn't any better we decided to stay the night in there. I refused to walk anywhere in the room without shoes, the shower and shower curtain were completely moldy (there was no tub and the shower was simply separated from the rest of the bathroom by a shower curtain) and I refused to touch anything in the room before I went and bought disinfectant spray and sprayed the room and sheets down. The next day we checked out and went home even though we were supposed to stay another night. At first the hotel insisted on charging us for the second night, but after a few minutes of argument we were able to make our point and not have to pay. In addition to the condition of the rooms the front desk staff was rude and unhelpful. I recommend staying further out of London for the same price and just stay close to a tube stop or pay the extra money for a better hotel.
