We checked in and checked out 2 hours later after we found a much better hotel. The total money was forefeit but it was good for ourselves. The hotel is not liveable and it is simply horrible plus terrible. We should ask the homeless people to live inside for two nights instead of in the cold streets.

Beautiful entrance, deceiving interior

The shower drain had no protection, several rats can come out of there the noise from the bathroom exhaust fan sounded like a tractor I paid for a room with a double bed and the receptionist said that they only had one with two single beds, so she said that I could check out at 12pm. the two mattresses looked like a rusty trampoline

I was shocked when I opened the door. It was a total disaster. The room has just vacated by the look of it as linens and towels on the floor and no wifi in the annexe where I was transferred.

basic standard, centrally located

My room in this centrally located hotel was clean and the check-in was easily done. I regularly travel to London and I've previously stayed in this hotel before. I recommend this to solo short term travellers who just need a basic accommodation within the city's centre. For just a night I don't need any luxury, shared bathroom is ok and clean towels are always provided.

We stayed here 1 night as going to see a show. Hotel is very basic and needs a refurbishment. Beds not very comfortable. Bed linen and towels were clean. hotel was ok for 1 night however I would not stay more than that. Location is great if you are going to a show, about 5 min walk to nearest tube station (Tottenham court road).

Awful. Cheap but not worth it

Dirty, small and lacking in comfort. Really the worst hotel room I've ever had. Dust and dirt everywhere (including huge fingernails, bits of plasticn packaging on the floor) Do not recommend, would not use again

Reception couldn't be bothered. Staircase hasn't been swept for days. Carpets threadbare, paintwork dirty, television didn't work. Asked to move to room which had working TV, receptionist couldn't be bothered. No tea making facilities, furniture old and broken. Avoid this dump.

simple and recommendable for a short city trip

I've already been to this hotel and again, everything was fine. The room, linen and towels were clean and everything worked well. It's not a luxury hotel but perfect for those who just need a simple accommodation in the centre of London. The simple furniture is perfect for solo travellers who don't have a lot of luggage and for just one or a few nights having a private bathroom is not really important. Most of all, I like the location. It's within walking distances from Bloomsbury campus of University of London, next to British Museum, 5 min walk away from next Sainsbury, Tottenham Court Rd, 10 min walking distance from Russell Square or Holborn, 15 min walking to Euston Station.

Slum hotel room

This hotel was a slum. There is extensive mold in the bathroom. There must be mold in the room as well as I having significant breathing problems. The curtains were ripped and in taters. One of the doors on the cabinet was missing, there was no cover on bed either. The room was dirty and not properly cleaned. Never stay here.

This was probably the most dingiest hotel I've ever stayed in my entire life. The room was disgustingly dirty. The TV had no remote. Window curtains were torn to shreds. The window would barley closed. Capet was stained all over. The shower hadn't been cleaned in months and there was no hot water and it wouldn't drain properly. The staff was informed and did nothing about it. It was so bad, I left two days early. I could have stayed at a Holiday Inn for a better price. Not worth $100 a night. I Seriously want a refund.
