It is a room with Bunk beds and little space to sit straight. So if you just go to room for sleeping then it is fine.

As a solo traveller for three nights, this was perfectly adequate. Couple of minutes walk from Paddington station with the Stansted airport coach. Not the roomiest of rooms but clean and hot shower.

The best thing about this place is the location. Staff politeness varies but it ok overall, and breakfast is a good effort. Room for improvement regarding wifi (no wifi connection during our stay), condition of the room (we stayed at the Dolphin Inn side of the building, which felt a bit neglected), and noise (nothing can be done about the trains, but the walls and ceilings feel rather thin).
