Problems in the bathroom15 of 3001 in 20 reviews
Bathroom initially smelled a bit off and room was tiny and seemed to have weak AC (during heat wave), but otherwise very clean, well stocked, very good value, great central location near Queensway and Bayswater station.

Mould or damp12 of 3001 in 25 reviews
If you have booked the single room, it’s underground and it’s extremely dirty and damp and the walls are paper thin.

The carpet in the room was dirty and the shower could do with some Exit Mould but otherwise loved it.

Not as shown or booked10 of 3001 in 30 reviews
Another annoying thing is, the website were I booked the room said there would be a fridge and there wasn't, and from reading other reviews it sounds like none of the rooms have fridges, which is a let down

Heating and air conditioning9 of 3001 in 33 reviews
The electrical outlets weren't working properly, the air conditioning was quite weak, they made a mistake with the room assignment, the bathroom had no ventilation...
