The pictures are very different to the room that we were given. The decor was extremely tired, light fittings missing, mould in the bathroom, rot to the bottom of the bathroom door, very old and creaky bed - I could go on. With minimal expense, the rooms could be made so much better.

First room had a nauseating smell of either cheese/vinegar with stained bedding and carpets. We immediately requested a new room. However, the new room had a broken radiator (stuck on full power) and a window that would barely open. Whilst the second room wasn't pungent, it was far from comfortable or clean. Stained carpet, yellow mattress, dried vomit on outside of toilet etc. Entire place could do with a bit of TLC and servicing. Finally - the smoke alarm went off at 3am. Cannot fault the receptionist, who very quickly sorted our room swap. An acceptable place to stay if all you need is a bed and running water...

Disappointing Stay – Would Not Recommend Where do I begin? The moment we stepped onto the hotel floor, it felt unstable—like one wrong move and you could fall through. Things only got worse from there. The bedroom was a letdown: the mattress felt like a pile of springs, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. The room had a musty smell, with visible damp patches on the unpainted walls. The bathroom was tiny and cramped, and there was no night lamp—something I really need when sleeping somewhere unfamiliar. To make matters worse, several sockets didn’t work, so we had to wake up during the night just to rotate devices for charging. Overall, it was a horrible experience in terms of comfort and upkeep. The only saving grace was the location—close to Leicester Square and within walking distance of plenty of shops. But sadly, convenience doesn’t make up for the poor condition of the hotel.
