i booked this hotel as its website says a 10 min walk to the tube station. Don't be fooled it is more like a 20 min walk so i would advise you to get the bus 36 or 436 goes straight to it from oval tube station. the area can be quite intimidating and noisy with traffic the hotel itself does not look like much from the front but once you walk through the door its fine.
I found both the lady and young gentleman on the front desk to be very friendly and pleasant. We were on the 3rd floor - no lift - and it is quite a lot of stairs to the 3rd floor but once in the room it had a very warm welcolming smell (air freshner but nice), the room had everything you would need, tv, window with view of london, shower etc. We were there for 2 nights and the towels were changed on the 2nd day which is unusual but nice. Breakfast was in the restaurant section and was the basic cereal, toast, juice but what more do you need for ?60 a night i think this is a bargain! I would def stay here again.
We booked our stay here on hostelworld.com . They charged us with booking fee and deposit. And guess what? YES, when we arrived at this magnificant hotel we had NO reservation, NO place to stay. So, another money, change of our departure dates from london with national express, etc.
Very bad experience! I advise you to stay away from The New Dome hotel, as well as reservating online with hostelworld.com!!!
