convenient locationcomplimentary breakfast

The location was very convenient, about a seven minute walk to Abbey Wood station. A LARGE sainsbury's is located near the station. The host provided complimentary coffee, tea, milk, bananas, bread and cereal for breakfast.

The water pressure in the shower WAS quite low.

The location was near the train and a grocery store, it was okay.

I didn't like the shared washroom and other guests used it, and that one washroom had to be shared between four rooms. It was an issue.

the location is near shops and public transport including the elizabeth line. free parking was available at the weekend, and spaces existed. finding the hotel was easy. the host was friendly and gave tips for my stay. the room was spacious and tidy, providing things like a fan and travel adapter.

the neighbour made noises on the bathroom wall. at one point she started shouting random stuff. she is not a security threat but had a negative impact. it affected my feeling at this accommodation.

An Okay Stay with Some Issues

kitchen cleanlinessnoisy neighbor

I found the kitchen cleanliness lacking. Some cabinets had old food remnants. The water pressure in the shower was also quite weak. It made showering a bit difficult. I also wish I had known about the noisy neighbor before my stay. Her outbursts were disruptive.
