“Your life in their hands”

The bed was comfortable and the bedroom, hallway, and bathroom were all clean. However, the entrance was filthy and full of litter, the front garden was an eyesore, and on arrival I met the owner who was installing a washing machine that continued noisily into the early hours of the next morning. The bedroom was at the rear of the property, not the front as booked, and was a room for two, not three as advertised. The table lamp in the bedroom is a danger to human life; the supply cable to the lamp has an exposed electrical connection, so if a guest were to touch it, depending on footwear, they could receive a severe electric shock or die. The only way to switch this lamp on or off is via the wall socket, which itself is hanging off the wall. In the kitchen, which is clean and well‑planned, the lighting was a floodlight hung up near the kitchen entrance, and the supply cable to this lamp again had a twisted pair of conductors, rendering it electrically dangerous. Another danger in the kitchen was a delicate display of Stanley knife blades hanging from a magnet over the food preparation surface. Finally, I would suggest that the facility stop playing.

The location was good and the staff were courteous, but the elevator does not work.

“Great if you can get a room on the 1st floor or higher”

The rooms are clean, the staff friendly, and the facilities good, yet when I stayed the second time on the basement level it was extremely hot and I could hear water flushing through the pipes loudly, whereas the first stay on the 1st floor was lovely.

“Comfortable and close to Oval station, but can be better.”

The location is close to Oval tube station and the cricket stadium, but the street Kennington Park Rd is very noisy, the place is very basic with no restaurant or attractions, and in my room the shower head was malfunctioning—more water came from above than from the holes.

“Basic, does the job.”

The bed was very comfortable and the room stayed clean, but there was no chair at the desk so I had to hold my meeting on the bed; the ironing board I received was broken, and the ID‑check process felt overly complicated and unnecessary.
