I had a basement room with a single window overlooking a light well. The main problem with this room was noise from nearby unerground line(s), several of which in this part of London are shallow, not deep, lines.There was a rumble from these lines every couple of minutes until late into the night and recommencing early morning, making sleep virtually impossible. This might not have been such a problem in a non-basement room.
TV was faulty - reported to reception.
Wallpaper was beginning to peel in places, not seriously but not great.
No shower gel/shampoo in the shower, only handwash. Even in budget (but by no means the bottom end of the budget range) hotels I would expect shower gel/shampoo. After a full day travelling this lack was unwelcome.
The breakfast was very limited, even by budget hotel standards, and the room too small, having to queue for a while to be seated. The breakfast staff were busy and cheerful, though which helped the atmosphere.
