Would've loved to have given a better review however, the venue was extremely basic. Service was friendly, and we were given a free upgrade to a ground floor ensuite as I was travelling with my 80 yr old father to see a show, and his mobility and eyesight is quiet poor. So that was really lovely of the lady on reception. However, we arrived from Birmingham at the venue at 2:40pm and we were told to come back in an hour as our room wasn't ready, so we weren't able to wait 20 mins to check on. Instead, we left our bags and walked over the road to grab a cuppa and came back and hour later. We were given a room at the annexe which is approx 3 buildings walk away?! Very weird set up. Got into the room, and even though it was spacious and clean, the room itself is on desperate need of a make over. Our front door looked like it had lunch holes in it, the wardrobe door was broken, furniture was lacking in comfort and looked like it had been donated for free to the venue as someone was throwing it out. The bathroom was cramped, and when sat on the loo, your knees hit the sink?! So as much as I appreciated the fact the staff had upgraded us, it still didn't feel very accessible to my elderly father. Also, our neighbours were loud and disrespectful of other guests in the hotel. Priced well and fairly for it's location, and based on it's appearance.

It is more a student residence instead of a hotel. Very limited services. No daily room cleaning. No WiFi. No restaurant, no safe box, etc. The bed and courtains seems kind of old. Nevertheless, it’s around the corner of the British museum and Tottenham Court Underground station. 20 minutes walk to Picadilly anda Tlafalgare Squares. Very accessible

Real value for money for a central London stay. Bkg in & out really easy. Secure access late in evening, also easy Downside: no facilities (tea/coffee making) in room nor WiFi. If included, they could add £10 -20 to the room cost per night

Was hard to find, get to from coach station. On arriving lady checking us in was nice friendly easy to do. Getting to room had go outside, down then in doors. Out room was ground floor nearly fell down stairs steep step soon as open door. Getting in room there was empty spare that could be used as table chairs for guests maybe to eat if staying more than a night. Bed was so comfy lovely was tidy. Can do with bit more work. Just a kettle no cups etc. bathroom can tell just been made new shower toilet sink lovely. Can see they working on things. Would stay again. As can see from reviews was bad before but they working on improving.

Close to British Museum. Minimalist room small bed small TV. Would have been suitable if it were clean. There was dried blood splattered on the wall and someone's dirty boxers were on top of the wardrobe. When I went to complain, only a receptionist was available. She was very nice but said that "it was just an old building so they can't help things like that". Saw manager when I checked in but was not present upon checkout.

Listen, this is a classic example of you get what you pay for. It’s very, very central, dirt cheap, the carpets and everything else haven’t been updated since about 1980, there were numerous stains in the room which may have been blood or not, who knows?! The sheets were clean, the bed was comfy, you can’t turn off the heating and you get a fresh towel and basin with a pump soap. Can’t deny it’s very competitively priced though.

I'm not really sure what to say. We booked a basic double room. It really was exactly that... The paint across the entire room was mismatched, hand rail next to the sink was broke, water in the taps was extremely slow running. I think for us being out of the room for most the afternoon and evening helped as we were only using it at a place to crash/sleep. Transport links near by are excellent and everything is in walking distance which I felt took our mind away from any of the issues. I would say this place has an extreme amount of potential. It just needs a little bit of an update
