Nice place to stay for the money

If you’re looking for a place to rest your head at night, then this place is perfect. There’s no thrills or frills but for the price it’s great.

Great location and it’s exactly what you pay for

Stayed for a concert at Wembley and this was perfect location, easy to get to and from even late I’m not sure what some of the people on here are moaning about, it’s less the £20 per person so it’s more there expectations that need adjusting then the hotel/hostel itself
