great locationpool tabledepressed numberother people

The location was great I could easily walk to Wapping Wharf. The room was clean and I found the bed very comfortable. There were some great additions such as table tennis and a pool table. I also saw board games which I thought was a nice touch.

It rained when I arrived and I found two doors I could try. The door number had a depressed number 2 and I struggled to open the door. I had to ask other people staying there how to open the door. It was not an easy experience
