Small and old but cozy and well-done

Not a luxury hotel, one of those where a huge number of rooms are carved out of an old Georgian building, so no elevator, fridge, or microwave, rooms are small, and if you want a good price, you share a bathroom. Complying with fire codes has made it a very rabbit-warreny experience, as every few feet there is a fire door (good). OK, now that that's out of the way: The place was clean. The staff was very friendly. Probably the best continental bf I have ever had, with fruit, freshly cut cucumbers and tomatoes, 6 types of cereal, hard boiled eggs, and several types of bread. The gluten free options included bread and cereal and a toaster labeled for GF use only. :) Oat and soy milk available for the lactose intolerant. Well-decorated; my room had posters of local interest, and the halls were all wonderful theatrical posters, excellently hung. Room cozy, with a fast-acting kettle and with tea, instant coffee provided. Waterstone's across the street! Close to Goodge St. Tube stop. Would stay again.

Excellent location

Great location. amazing reception staff. We booked a quadruple room for 3 of us which was comfortable. The bathroom was tiny but everything worked. The breakfast was included and was ok but the breakfast room was crowded and hot. The coffee was stewed from sitting on a hot plate and the food was not what I would choose to eat.

I recently stayed at the Arran House Hotel and had a pleasant experience overall. One of the standout features of this hotel is its prime location; it’s situated in a lovely neighborhood that is close to various attractions, shops, and restaurants, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. When booking your room, I highly recommend ensuring that you choose one with an en-suite bathroom. Some rooms do not have private bathrooms, which could be a downside for some guests. I booked a room with four beds, and I was pleased to find that it included its own bathroom and shower, providing added comfort and privacy during my stay. One thing to note is that there is no elevator in the hotel, so be prepared to carry your bags up the stairs. This wasn’t a major issue for me, but it’s something to consider if you have heavy luggage or mobility concerns. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Arran House Hotel and would recommend it for those looking for a convenient and cozy place to stay in a great neighborhood!

Short trip

Was pleasantly suprised as had read negative reviews . Clean friendly stay , the staff were so polite and helpful. The breakfast was of a good standard too . We had to share bathroom and toilet but were very clean . Reception is 24 hr and you get to speak to a person. I discovered the plan is to renovate al rooms to an en-suite design for spring 2025 . A lovely stay for us in the heart of London !

I’m usually pretty relaxed when it comes to overseas hotel experiences (I’m from the states). And in reading the reviews I was hopeful that others were overreacting… they were not. I feel 3 stars is generous. The location was excellent which is ultimately what caused me to book the place. It is very walkable to the tube and restaurants are right around the corner. The accommodations left much to be desired. If you’re spending a day or two in London and need somewhere to crash. Perfect. If however, like me you plan on making it your home base as you take day trips to Stonehenge, Paris, or Dover. Best to book somewhere with a bit higher star rating and more comfortable accommodations.

I was for 7 days and they never changed sheets or towels. They gave me a room without a bathroom, when I made the reservation it was supposedly with a private bathroom, they gave me a room with a shared bathroom, the they told me that those were more expensive. Before making a reservation at a hotel check what they offer.
