Cosy location near Turkish restaurants

8.0

The bed was cosy, the bathroom had all the necessary items, there was a clothes iron, hair dryer, etc. There really wasn't anything that we felt was missing. The neighborhood is super nice, plenty of Turkish restaurants with really good and tasty food.

− After booking, the host asked us to pay either a big deposit to "cover for possible damages" or a damage waiver, none of which were mentioned beforehand. We refused both options and they "happily waved that for us".

Camera piccolina ma funzionale in ottima location

Posizione molto carina nel quartiere molto vivo di Dalston Comodo da raggiungere con un self check-in con istruzioni semplici e chiare Camera pulita e calda

− Camera molto piccola, lavandino del bagno minuscolo Tende non molto oscuranti che lasciano entrare moltissima luce al mattino Le prese sono tutte UK, serve un adattore, quasi tutti in mikimarket in zona li hanno

Great location but the hidden fees, noise and general upkeep could definitely be improved.

The location of the room, right in the center of Dalston and close to Kingsland High Street, is great. The Wi-Fi worked well and unlike what a previous guest had mentioned, there was a small tube of shampoo in the shower and two sets of towels.

− There are some hidden costs that future guests should be aware of: After booking, you’ll receive a text message from a third-party website (not Booking.com) asking you to pay either £25, which is non-refundable, or a £250 deposit. This feels quite sketchy and since most people wouldn’t risk the higher amount, you end up paying an extra £25 that you won’t get back. The studio is extremely noisy! It’s almost impossible to sleep through the night, as you constantly hear people coming and going, slamming doors, talking or playing music. The window blinds also don’t block much light, so unless you’re used to sleeping in a bright room, you’ll probably find it difficult to rest properly. The room itself has definitely seen better days, with scratches and marks on the walls and some quick fixes that make it look less neat than in the pictures. It’s also smaller than it appears online. I couldn’t find the keys right away either, as there’s another lockbox behind the apartment door that isn’t the right one. I called the provided phone number and got help immediately though, which was appreciated.
