Axiom W6 Hotel

I went to the desk at approx 3.40pm for a sign to be on the door telling me to wait 5 or 10 mins. After 10 mins I got changed in the bathroom and called the number. Someone came and took me to another building not far away. I was round the corner and on the top floor. The room was spacious but unclean. Dirty and generally dusty. Bedding was clean and room was quiet. I was told the code to the door. When I tried to get in that night I inputted the code and the lock wouldn't turn. I rang the number I called before and they didn't help me at all just told me to go to reception. I walked to reception and had them come back with me to open the door first time, there was an issue to with lock and no one had told me about.

Let me start with a caveat - I wanted to book a cheap rooms as it was just for a quick overnight stay - pretty much sleep and shower only needed. So I certainly wasn't expecting the Ritz or even Travelodge standards. However, although it was cheap, it certainly wasn't cheerful. The reception was empty when I arrived but the receptionist arrived well within the 5-10 minutes indicated on the sign on the window, which was fair enough, if he was the only staff member currently working. But then he took me to my room. The building was shabby, and the outside area was neglected and overgrown. The stairs and passageway down to the basement room were dark and dingy - nothing like the bright and welcoming views on the booking site. The room was small and compact, as I expected, but in no way resembled the shiny, sparkly, newly refurbished rooms on the booking sites. My room had certainly seen better days, as the furniture was scuffed and broken in some cases and unfortunately, on a swelteringly hot day, the fan controls didn't work properly. There were stains on the walls and floor, and the bathroom had stained grouting and signs of mould. None of which was pleasant. In mitigation, the bits that needed to be clean were clean - the bed and sheets, toilet and sink. The shower less so, but usable. I wouldn't say not to go to this place, as although it wasn't attractive in any way, shape or form, it did serve my needs for a cheap overnight stay, although rather unsavoury. Just don't expect it to look like the photos you see when you book it.

Only booked this hotel due to location as close to Eventim Apollo but wish I'd checked the reviews first. The room was filthy, I had to go to a shop to buy anti bac cleaning wipes. Everything was filthy. Room also smelt. Floor had not been hoovered / cleaned. Hairs everywhere. Walls had paint chipped off everywhere. Door frames hanging off. Shower tray stained and plug blocked so when showered it over flowed and flooded bathroom. Literally just slept here and avoided being in the room as long as possible!

The facilities in this hotel are quite old and really don’t match the photos shown online. The condition is very basic and not what I expected. However, considering the price — which is actually quite good for London — it can still be a reasonable option for budget travellers. If you’re doing a low-budget trip and just need a place to sleep, this hotel might work for you, but don’t expect much from the facilities.

My 3rd stay at w6. Location is perfect- 5 mins from the tube and bus stations. Staff always helpful and friendly. Will be back
