Well, you get what you pay for. This hotel is as old as British empire and most of the things look like they are going to fall apart any moment at least the things in my room.
The refrigerator doesn't work and sits in a enclosed wooden shelf and if you don't keep the door open the heat coming out of the refrigerator adds to the heat in your room.
There is no A/C in this hotel so you need to depend on the table fans and they make hell of a noise.
The beds, wait a minute, "they are cots for gods sake" this is my reaction the first night. They don't probably clean rooms everyday because in the morning when i wake up to open the curtains you can see dust flying all over your room.
The two stars are for the staff and the proximity to the tube station.
