“Virtue House offers a no-frills base in Woolwich, benefiting from its proximity to transport links and the array of shops and fast food options right outside; the location is undeniably convenient, and the rooms are clean, offering a functional stay. While sound insulation could be better and some furnishings are a little tired, the value for money is compelling, particularly for solo travellers on short trips. Overall, it's a practical choice if you prioritize location and price over luxury.”
