All accommodation in this vicinity is expensive. This was the cheapest we found. The room was very small but clean and freshly painted. The shower wet room was tiny but newly refurbished with good quality equipment. We were able to get a breakfast at 6.45 am. Fresh croissants and cereals. It was ok for what we wanted. 10 minutes walk... More

This must be the worst hotel I ever stayed in. Drab from the outside - revolting inside! The staff I encountered was indifferent and unwelcoming. The room and especially the carpet were dirty, the mattresses ancient, the décor more than dated and the en-suite cupboard-sized with a dirty toilet. Luckily the artistically draped towels sported one folded-down corner which nicely... More

The outside was the first part of the drab experience and the unfriendly welcome but the receptionist were the first parts of a pretty unpleasent stay. The decor is in need of some serious TLC as are the peeling carpets off the floor. The whole basement section could do with fumigating to get rid of the damp musky smell too.... More

I book hotels on behalf of my clients for when they require overnight stays in the UK and to be honest, if we haven't already stayed there before, we go off a combination of location, availability, budget and reviews. Luck also plays a part in our choice and in this instance, for the 5 people who stayed here on 16th... More

By far this was the worst hotel stay I have ever had. Ignore the threadbare carpets, outdated decoration which for one night I could live with. The matresses (All 3 of them) were beyond use and should have been replaced years ago. The table lamp of which there was one, wasn't even connected to the lamp. The en-suite was tiny,... More

Was truly awful, the whole place is shabbbyand dirty. I had a single room at the top and being an old building everything creaked when the person in the next room got up at 5am to shower, hardryer etc. The TV switched itself off if you changed chanel. On the second night I had either no water or cold water... More

After reading the less than favorable reviews on this site it was with much trepidation that I agreed to stay at Swinton on our recent 'lads weekend' to London. First impressions upon entering the reception area were that it was clean and welcoming enough although as other reviews have said it did smell somewhat of stale smoke. The staff at... More

Was better than I expected after reading some of the reviews. think it has been recently refurbed. It was very basic but there again it was very cheap for where it was. A good hour walk into central london 10 mins on bus ( buy an oyster card ) buses better than tube you see more but you can use... More
