Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is perfectly located, right above a pub, and in an excellent position. The rooms were kept clean and had bunk beds suitable for three adult males, along with a handy water boiler. The dining experience included tea with milk and relaxing music, but could have offered more options. The service, particularly housekeeping, was top-notch. On the downside, the location could have more dining choices nearby, despite being close to a cafe and the Kilburn tube stop for easy access to Wembley.
The hotel is a mixed bag of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the dining options were lacking. The staff was friendly, and the location offers plenty of evening entertainment choices nearby. The facilities are decent though more dining options would have been appreciated.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the city center and offers easy access to the underground. The rooms provide a nice bathroom with a water boiler and feature pictures of three separate single beds, which is great for groups traveling together. However, the surroundings can get noisy as the hotel is right above a pub. Overall, a decent option for travelers looking for budget-friendly accommodation with good room amenities.
