Bad Choice
This "so-called" hotel was the worst place I have ever stayed in, in my entire life. First of all I was stuck up in the attic with no means of getting my suitcase up three flights of stairs which I refused to do or else I would have had a heart attack, only one case was taken up for me.
No room for the other one.The room was so small that I had no room to put anything. The bed ran down hill when laying in it was so old that the mattress moved around on the base. The TV had no volume and no channels to change and was more black/white than colour.
The bathroom was the pits, the only way for anybody to get into the bath was to climb onto the toilet seat (not good occ,health and safety issues) because the shower screen could not be opened was permanently shut. very poor standard of hotel, would not recommend anybody stay here in future.Dining was non-existent |

London: Euro Hotel Clapham:
We had the pleasure of staying the Euro Clapham (80-81 Clapham Common South Side, Clapham, London, SW4 GDL) last October 2007.
We booked over the internet looking for budget accommodation and we must say that despite the negative reviews, we found this hotel very nice.
It was quiet, (some of the rooms in front of the main busy road may get a little noisy though), well-located next to the Clapham South tube station (5 minutes walk), so about 20 minutes from Trafalgar Square on the northern line. Reception is open 24h/24 and the keys stay at the hotel.
The Clapham Common South area is nice, including the large park right across from the hotel, restaurants and bars close by, as well as both a Tesco and a Sainsbury supermarkets nearby.
The double room we got was actually quite large, simple but nice furniture, comfortable bed, television, cute balcony and a small, but clean bathroom.
Most of the staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was simple: toasts, butter/jam, coffee/tea, milk and cornflakes.
A friend who was travelling with us got double bedroom, witch was very much like ours. Another friend stayed at the Euro Lodge Clapham (just 2 minutes walk from this hotel) in a single quite small and simple room, but clean, fairly quiet and with a larger bathroom. There was indeed some old furniture and an old mattress past the reception on the way to her room, as there were some works and refits being done.
In a nutshell we can say that we really enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Euro Clapham; its nice, clean, close to the city and yet affordable and good value for the money.
We would definitely come back again! :)
Liked: Location, cleanliness, room in general
Disliked: 3rd night a little noisy (busy road)

best service
Read a review before we went and were not expecting class, especially at the prices we were paying. On arrival nice service but the people on in the morning at breakfast were excellent and made the holiday for us. We have stayed in many hotels in london with short breaks holidays and this was the first that actually interacted with us so thanks. For anyone wanting a good budget holiday it is excellent. We got about with an all day travel ticket so area and location were no problem as the bus stopped ten metres away and less than four mins from clapam south underground. |

"Good Value Hotel"
I was very sceptical about staying at this hotel based on the unbelievably inexpensive rate at which I managed to book the room (42 pounds per night). The negative reviews I read in advance also gave me cause for concern.
I have to say, however, that overall my experience with the hotel was a pleasant surprise. As I arrived in London early in the morning, I was hoping to get into our room early to take a power nap, and get ready to meet my partner who was arriving later that day. I arrived at the hotel at about 10:00 a.m., and the the front desk receptionist was helpful and able to arrange for a double room to be serviced and made available to me within the hour.
While the room was dull and small, it was clean apart from a couple of small oil stains on the carpet and everything worked fine for the five nights we stayed there. And even though I had to take a basement room as that was the only one available at the time of my early arrival, it had a nice big window that opened to allow in enough daylight and fresh air. The room also had a nice-sized fridge with a freezer which I was not expecting and which came in handy during the 5-night stay.
After having tried the breakfast which consisted of white toast and weak coffee, we opted not to have breakfast at the hotel again, but for 42 pounds per night we were not expecting much anyway as far as the breakfast was concerned.
The location itself was excellent with easy access to the London Underground and various bus routes. The Clapham Common South area is nice, including the large park right across from the hotel, restaurants and bars close by, as well as both a Tesco and a Sainsbury grocery store nearby. The street was noisy at night with both drunken bar patrons shouting at sporadic times throughout the night, as well as the London police and ambulance sirens that go on at all hours of the night. It didn't really bother us too much though, and we opted to leave the window open all night for fresh air anyway.
In conclusion, for 42 pounds per night for a double room, I found the hotel excellent value and would stay there again next time in London, if on a low-budget trip. This is why I have given the hotel an above-average rating.
