Value room in the centre

Good basic room well positioned in central London. Not the most comfortable or clean but for a single room in central London for less than £50 it met my expectations and good value.

Great location, much neglected

This was once a great boarding house in a prime location. But it has been neglected for years. I am sympathetic to businesses recovering after COVID, but there was no indication of any interest in improvement. The TVs were broken — mostly simple repairs— the WiFi didn’t work upstairs, the bathrooms were yucky, and the rugs needed replacement. Given all that, you would imagine they try to compensate, and one fellow was kind. But they wouldn’t even keep luggage, which every hotel I’ve stayed at does.

Although the hotel is at the cheaper end of the market, the whole experience was unpleasant. The staff are slovenly and unfriendly; the room was extremely basic. We booked for two nights but left an hour after check-in due to the conditions and booked ourselves in a better hotel at the same price.

It was okay. The host wasn’t able to tell us anything about sight seeing in the area. But it was fine. Lots of stairs but I think that’s the norm in Amsterdam.

Does the job for 1 night

It is a cheap affordable hotel which for the price you expect it not to be perfect however it is just borderline with this hotel. Very old and worn out room, tv not working, lamp didn't work, couldn't open window and was on lower floor and very warm room. Staff were friendly and polite but bit slow on checking in. For 1 night it does the job but wouldn't want to stay longer.

Avoid! Worst Hotel I've Ever Stayed In!

This was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in in London. The room felt more like a cell, it was incredibly warm, the bed mattress was thin, the toilet seat was broken, there was no sink in the room with the toilet so you couldnt wash your hands, the room was dirty, the staff were rude. By far the worst place ive ever stayed. Avoid avoid avoid

Does the job - no complaints

For circa £60 for one night for one person in the summer in the centre of London I honestly could not complain. Sure, the shared bathroom situation wasn't ideal, there's no AC or fan, no lift, stained floors, and I had someone's beard clippings on the hand soap in my room's personal sink BUT I had 3 mirrors in my room, various lights, tv, my bed was clean and well made, I got a fresh towel, men at reception were nice, and I had a personal sink which made up a bit for the shared bathroom. For price and location I'd stay here again for a night if I needed to - as a previous hostel traveller, there really wasn't anything unexpected for me to complain about. If you're staying here in the summer I'd recommend bringing a plug with multiple usb ports and bringing a portable usb fan to help with heat...and a long phone charger cord as the sole plug socket was far from my bed.

It’s a basic room with just a single bed and a shared bathroom. The hotel overall was pretty clean for the most part but some people staying there apparently didn’t know how to flush the toilet! 😂 The bed was very creaky and has probably seen better days so that could probably do with being updated. A refresh on the paint on the walls would be nice and the carpets are looking tired. But overall staff were friendly and accommodated me being able to stay an extra night. Only WIFI available in the lobby which is a shame but I knew that prior to booking. My 5G was a bit iffy when in the room but that’s probably more to do with my network than the hotel itself. I was a little worried reading some of the reviews but it’s fine for a few nights & the price I paid was reasonable. It’s walking distance to pretty much anywhere you’d want to go & has a good selection of shops and restaurants close by. is only about a 7 minute walk to Tottenham Court Road tube station. I went to the palladium and it only took me 15 minutes to walk. It seemed to be in a pretty safe area. I would stay here again.

Would have been nice to have some air conditioning since the room was very hot. Conveniently located close to euston station and tottenham court road station. Floorboards a bit creaky, and the room could have been a bit cleaner. The front-desk staff were friendly.

Poorly maintained only had 1 curtain, cobwebs everywhere, toilet seat didn't fit, shower was temp wrong, no tea coffee facilities or even a plastic cup, gap under door you could hear everyone come and go. The only plus side was location so close to Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road underground. Would i stay again yes but only for location.

Cheap and great location but not the nicest hotel.

This is a no thrills hotel but it was cheap and in a great location. 24 hr check in was also great as I booked the hotel very last minute at 11:30pm and checking in was no issue. The shared bathrooms did the job but were not the nicest or cleanest bathrooms. The room itself was nothing luxurious in the slightest and left a lot to be desired but it did the job. I can’t complain for the price as the price does rightly reflect the product I feel.
