It’s not often we do London so we wanted to do it on a budget. Whilst the hotel is a bit tired it was warm and comfortable. The staff were brilliant and it’s ideally placed to get into the West End on foot very easily. We were able to drop off our bags before check in as we had theatre tickets booked for afternoon performance. You get what you pay for. It was fine for one night. Great rates. Thanks for a good stay.

BED BUGS! My partner were here for one night and were covered in bed bugs by 6am in the morning, and left as soon as we could. There were big stains on the boxspring, the cupboard was borden, the shelf in the bathroom was also broken/slanted so items would just slide right off. You couldn't open the shower door whilst inside the bathroom (it would hit the toilet) so you could only enter the shower by having both the bathroom door and shower door opened. do not recommend

Upon arrival we were directed to a room in the basement, which you had to pass through an office to reach. The ‘ensuite’ we had was outside of the room and while we were the only ones who were apparently going to use it, the bathroom/bedroom doors were only separated from the office by a small curtain. Upon request we were given a new room with a true ensuite, but it felt weird that the basement room was even an option. The new room was okay. The bathroom facilities felt clean (through the dirty extractor fan has led to ceiling mould issues), and the bed frame and mattress looked fairly new. The location was great for the museum and several tube lines. Wouldn’t spend more than one night here, but the staff were friendly and it was an okay place to rest our heads for one night.

It’s a great big house with rooms that are rented out, water damage very visible everywhere! And I’m not sure how safe the plugs and extension was right by the head of the bed where you’d normally leave a bottle of water! There is no lift, I was top floor not ideal with a suitcase and no one to help take it up! The receptionist was lovely on check in! Location can’t fault that! I’ve stayed in better kept hostels for cheaper

We had a room Vernon Dudley would have been proud of. It was a cupboard. The double bed was up against a wall and the pillows kept falling off the bed all night. It done it's job and the staff were friendly but I might try somewhere else next time I'm in London, or ask for a different room that isn't just a long closet.

I liked the location. However, there was no heat in the room. There was no hair dryer. We only got one bath towel replaced for two of us. The floors were uneven making falls possible. The bathroom had no towel bars. It really was sub par.

The area was nice. The hotel was dirty. The room looked dirty and not well maintained. Also, had we not been exhausted after a long day, we would have noticed bed bugs crawling on the walls and a large number of eggs right on the wall above our bed. I woke up itching and found multiple large bites on my arms, legs, back and the same on my children’s arms, legs and even on my son’s face. We felt disgusted and checked out that morning even though we were booked in for one more night. The staff apologised and assured us the rooms get checked thoroughly in between guests which was obviously a lie taking into account the large number of eggs present on the wall. The staff also did not bother to approve a refund leaving expedia to deal with it.

The main thing, it was clean, dated but clean.
I wouldn't take too much notice of poor reviews, I was sceptical but for the price and location you really can't argue at the value for money. The decor is dated and needs a refresh but the important thing like the mattress, bed sheets, bathroom were all absolutely fine. I've booked to stay for another night when I'm back in a couple of weeks. Perfect for a couple of nights. Shower was a little weak as others mentioned, but it was more than sufficient to use.

Great location for train stations, underground and city centre. Good communication. Friendly staff. Very clean. Felt safe. Would absolutely stay again. Is tired - basic. Not fancy hotel. Budget friendly. All emails prior to checking in said check out midday but it's 10am. Staff came shortly after 10am to say I'd overstayed and may need to pay extra. Sorted once showed emails but they need to sort out their automatic emails and correct information.

Great location, horrible room
We were given a bedroom in the basement, with a window that can't be opened. You could feel the damp as soon as you entered the room. The lady at Reception was very helpful and gave us a table fan, but that wasn't good enough - at the very least you would need a dehumidifier working in that room 24x7. At the time of doing the booking, nothing indicated that we would get a room with no ventilation at all. Also, it was announced as an en-suite, which was only partially true - we had a shower room for ourselves, but it was outside the room (i.e. you had to go out of the room to get to the shower room). Great location close to Tottenham Court Road, though, and very low price.
