    Quiet, clean, friendly and an efficient access system. Access details sent on the day by text.

    There is very little I can complain about. I was aware that the bathrooms were shared in advance. The rooms are not spacious. The staff have always been very polite when I have politely requested anything. Staff are not on site 24 hours a day, but there is a number to call if there are problems and the security systems seem appropriate. Once or twice (out of more than 30 nights in total), there has been someone snoring very loudly in the next door room. Ear plugs have solved that problem. Be prepared.

    I have stayed in Frances House a few times for a few days in a row as I am writing a book and need no distractions. It is relatively cheap but definitely cheerful and bright, and the double beds are comfortable. On arrival, the rooms are always visibly clean and they smell fresh and clean too, and the heating works. There is a kettle, some tea and coffee and towels and a wardrobe, and a table. The TV is a smart TV allowing access to loads of channels. For me, the free to access internet connection needs to be good and I have rarely had any problems. The table and chair are reasonably comfortable and I have spent many hours working on my laptop. The shared shower and toilet facilities are properly cleaned every day and most of the other guests have been respectful and maintained good standards. There is a small supermarket almost next door and three takeaway outlets within 100 metres. It does not matter that Woolwich centre is a 15-minutes walk, and 5 minutes by bus..

    Could have had a bolt on the door. I swear I heard people trying to get into my room at 2am which was scary.

    Nice room, especially last minute. Bed was comfy, had lots of amenities like hairdryers and fan

    The area was a bit rundown, but I came to go to the O2 Arena, so it wasn’t far in a taxi

    It wasn’t expensive, but the room was clean and tidy, a decent enough shower and tea and coffee facilities

    The soundproofing for the shared bathroom rooms are not good. The shower is a little hard to get right temperature on but a minor thing.

    Facilites are fine, for these days over the weekend we had a quiet and nice neightbour which highly affected our experience to the positive. They don't enter your room to clean and you can put towels etc. Outside your door for changing. It's really fast to get to woolwich stations and custom house.

    Could have done with a mini fridge over an oven. There were stains up the walls by the bed. It smelt of smoke and fried foods from the kebab shop downstairs.

    We stayed for one night to go to a concert at the o2. We were in here for less than 12 hours so it served its purpose as a super cheap base for one night in London. The bathroom was clean.

    Although very good for price maybe an extra towel and pillow and possibly a fridge for our refreshments to keep cold. Also WiFi didn't work the first night but fine the next day.

    The property looked very dull when walking in but once in the room was very welcoming and comfortable.

    shower didn't drain properly. you had to turn the shower off to let it drain then turn it back on and continue showering.

    very affordable, modern bathroom, easy self check-in, clean and comfortable rooms, close enough to town center for train access to london.
