Liked: It was very good value for money considering its location and the fact that you got a single room without having to share. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even when I accidentally got locked out of my room. I liked that it was self-catering and you were pretty much left to your own devices.

Disliked: I don't think it made it clear enough that you were required to bring your own cutlery and crockery if you wanted to use the kitchen.

Liked: I liked the fact that it is close to shops and commerce area, but is situated in a very calm residential street. Central places like Oxford Stree, Picadilly etc. are just 15 mins. away by subway. You can sure get a good sleep! Rooms are small and simple, but clean and organized. Shower is good and every guest has its all cupboard and private appliances in the kitchen, very practical.

Disliked: I did not like that they do not provide towels neither breakfast on site. I was not aware of that, then I had to rush and buy myself a towel.

Liked: Reasonably priced and excellentt location for central London visiting; well-served by tube and buses nearby. It was warm and the showers worked well.

Disliked: Several of the toilets were out of action over the days I was there - and some had been out all week. The rooms are very spartan - but for a short stay, that doesn't matter.

Liked: Very clean. The best showers (roomy, lots of hot water) I've seen in England. Close to underground station that is a cool area and on direct line to Leicester Square. I liked that it was women only, too.

Disliked: You had to pay if you wanted internet connection.

Liked: Fabulous place, lovely garden, felt really at home- great if you want somewhere quiet, cheap, central in london with a private room and access to kitchen - including your own allocated half shelf of a fridge! Will definitely be back :-)

Disliked: Wouldn't be so good if you want somewhere lively to meet lots of people, but then I didn't so I loved it.

27 April 2011 Carol would recommend this property

Liked: The amazing quietness and the international mix of residents. Many are long stay and regard this as their home. Some want to keep their own company but many are very friendly, so even though I was on my own, I never felt lonely. it was lovely to be able to sit in the garden or the lounges or be able to access the internet. Bed linen very clean.

Disliked: The problem finding it. All instructions should state that the building entrance is at the start of Augustus St where it joins Park Village East - google maps give a false impression of its location and the building notice written in pale green on white is very difficult to see especially at night. Also over a 4 day public holiday the bins in the toilet were full to overflowing - not pleasant. Communication of my special bedding request ( which had been agreed) and which I notified twice by email did not reach the night staff so I had to firmly press my request until it was met.

Liked: Great neighbourhood not in crowded downtown. Nice and clean and comfy. All the people who stayed there were very decent and quiet.

Disliked: An electrc appliance (a giant ventilator?) was going all day and all night long, and nobody seemed to know what was causing it. And I couldn't sleep basically.
