We booked the family room with a queen bed and a pull out couch with an ensuite - it was pretty good - ac was nice and cold - the location was easy to manage buses and trains and had good dining options around it - the place seems a bit sketchy when you first arrive lots of young people - we are 56-58 and our 30 yr old daughter - this wasn't too bad cost wise compared to other hotels in London and I don't think I realized how much of a hostel it is because of the room I booked - pull out couch wasn't great - be ok for kids not an adult and the bed was fine but plastic mattress and floopy feel to it - but it was fine for the 2 nights - room is the nicest there for sure - needs a curtain on one of the windows badly and the noise at night outside from traffic sirens and people sitting on the steps of the front of the building playing music at 1 am as annoying - but overall it was fine
