  (Translated by Google) A run-down flophouse is probably the most harmless term for this "hotel". It starts with the check-in in a littered office (which is supposed to be the reception), where I was first told in a very rude tone that this was a "very basic hotel" and that I had to refrain from doing it anywhere to give negative reviews. Even from a very simple hotel, you can rightly expect a certain minimum level of cleanliness and security. My room was as booked without a window, although it is completely inexplicable to me what sick spirit drives someone to nail up an existing window front with wooden boards and then sell the room as windowless. The next shock was the bed, large areas of dirt from various previous guests were found on the sheets! Supposedly the sheets were freshly washed and the stains didn't come out - but it's an absolutely disgusting impertinence to let a paying guest sleep in other people's sh.... There were several razor-sharp edges of broken veneer and metal fittings on the bottom of the bed box, so that you could severely injure yourself or tear your foot with every movement. The condition of the hotel is probably no wonder, considering that the operation is apparently maintained 24/7 by a single person, who is then responsible for reception, housekeeping, etc., all in one person. The tiny prison cell was ventilated with ice-cold air from 3 holes in the ceiling. The constant, icy drafts gave me a sore throat and a runny nose after the first night. In addition, the cell was so poorly soundproofed that you could clearly hear every word and every fart from the hallway or from neighboring rooms, sleep is out of the question! Various legacies from former residents were also found in the bathroom, and the paint on the mirror frame, which has been brushed over several times, is peeling off extensively. Smearing paint on damp, moldy surfaces simply doesn't work! According to the description when booking, television and wifi should be included at no extra charge, but of course nobody wanted to know anything about it on site. With all the "extras" that are simply standard in a hotel (regardless of the price range), the room price would have climbed to the level of an upscale 4-star hotel. (Original) Eine heruntergekommene Absteige ist wohl noch der harmloseste Begriff für dieses „Hotel“. Es fängt schon beim CheckIn in einem vermüllten Büro an (das wohl die Rezeption darstellen soll), dort wurde mir als allererstes gleich mal in sehr rüdem Ton erklärt, dass dies ein „very basic Hotel“ sei und ich es tunlichst zu unterlassen habe, irgendwo negative Bewertungen abzugeben. Auch von einem sehr einfachen Hotel kann man aber zurecht ein gewisses Mindestmaß an Sauberkeit und Sicherheit erwarten. Mein Zimmer war wie gebucht ohne Fenster, wobei mir aber völlig unerklärlich ist, welcher kranke Geist jemanden dazu treibt, eine vorhandene Fensterfront mit Holzbrettern zu vernageln und das Zimmer dann als fensterlos zu verkaufen. Der nächste Schock war das Bett, auf dem Laken fanden sich großflächig Kotspuren diverser Vorgänger! Angeblich sei das Laken frisch gewaschen und die Flecken sind nicht rausgegangen – es ist aber eine absolut eklige Zumutung, einen zahlenden Gast in der Sch….. anderer Leute schlafen zu lassen. Am Bettkasten unten gab es mehrere messerscharfe Kanten aus gebrochenem Furnier und Metallbeschlägen, so dass man sich bei jeder Bewegung massivst verletzen oder den Fuß aufreissen kann. Der Zustand des Hotels ist wohl kein Wunder, wenn man bedenkt, dass der Betrieb offensichtlich 24/7 von einer einzigen Person aufrechterhalten wird, die dann für Rezeption, Housekeeping etc. alles in Personalunion zuständig ist. Belüftet wurde die winzige Gefängniszelle durch eiskalte Luft aus 3 Löchern in der Decke, durch die ständige, eisige Zugluft hatte ich bereits nach der ersten Nacht Halsschmerzen und Schnupfen. Zudem war die Zelle derart hellhörig, dass man jedes Wort und jeden Pups vom Flur oder aus Nachbarzimmern deutlich vernehmen konnte, an Schlaf ist dabei überhaupt nicht zu denken! Auch im Bad fanden sich diverse Hinterlassenschaften ehemaliger Bewohner, und die mehrfach überpinselte Farbe an der Spiegeleinfassung blättert großflächig ab. Farbe auf feucht-verschimmelte Oberflächen schmieren funktioniert ganz einfach nicht! Laut Beschreibung bei der Buchung sollte Fernsehen und Wifi ohne Aufpreis inklusive sein, vor Ort wollte man davon natürlich nichts mehr wissen. Mit all den „Extras“, die in einem Hotel (egal welcher Preisklasse) ganz einfach Standard sind, wäre der Zimmerpreis auf das Niveau eines gehobenen 4-Sterne-Hotels geklettert.

  (Translated by Google) It's complicated... From the photos we expected something small, and we were a little scared but when we arrived it was to be. The room has no ventilation, dirty walls, the bathroom handle literally fell off (I was locked in on one occasion), and in general... It looks little care, little maintenance and is a bit claustrophobic. If you are two people, it is impossible to get dressed or go to the bathroom without the other person waiting for you, literally, lying on the bed. Now, if you are ONLY going to sleep, and for a few days, the beds are comfortable, and after kicking around London, you are going to fall flat anywhere. In addition, the metro is nearby and you have restaurants of all kinds in the area. I would repeat only if I could not find something better for the same price or less. (Original) Es complicado... Por las fotos esperabamos algo pequeño, e íbamos un poco asustados pero es que al llegar fue para estarlo. La habitación no tiene ventilación, paredes sucias, la maneta del baño se caía literalmente (me quedé encerrada en una ocasión), y en general... Se ve poco mimo, poco mantenimiento y es un poco claustrofóbico. Si sois dos personas, es imposible vestirse o ir al baño sin que la otra persona le espere, literalmente, tumbado en la cama. Ahora bien, si SOLO vais a dormir, y por pocos días, las camas son cómodas, y después de patear Londres, vais a caer redondos en cualquier lado. Además, el metro cerca y tenéis restaurantes de todo tipo por la zona. Repetiría solo si no encontrase algo mejor por el mismo precio o menor.

  Not like the pictures they show, there isn’t space for anything. The prices are high for the room you’ll find. I would definitely not recommend it. It’s better to spend a little more in another hotel.

  (Translated by Google) A few minutes walk from the subway. It's what you pay for so you can't expect a super room. To sleep and cheap is the best. (Original) A unos minutos andando del metro. Es lo que pagas por lo que no puedes esperar una super habitación. Para dormir y barato es lo mejor.

  A bargain for the area. Can never go wrong with Easy Hotels. Friendly and helpful staffs too. The only unfortunate thing about this particular hotel is the omega cramped room you will get. However, this is expected for the price point as your other options would be staying at a shared room with 6-8 other people in a similarly priced hotel.

  (Translated by Google) Be careful when booking because it has rooms without a window, quite narrow, if you are only going to sleep... acceptable but a bit overwhelming in the end. (Original) Cuidado al reservar porque tiene habitaciones sin ventana, bastante estrecho, si solo vas a dormir... aceptable pero un poco agobiante al final. Rooms: Muy pequeñas y agobiante
