My husband and I travelled into London to see a show and not wanting to have to rush to get a train home decided to stay for the night. Normally we book slightly more expensive hotels - in the 140-160 range with breakfast included but for this trip we decided to stay in a slightly less pricey hotel to cut costs. The Gresham is in a fabulous location - no doubt about that. It’s perfectly situated for The West End and for many of the museums and galleries in central London. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Very warm and welcoming. The room was tired in terms of decor but that didn’t bother us at all - in fact it added a certain charm. It was also very clean. The real issue for us were the mattresses which, although clean, were in terrible condition. Sagging on one side and every spring could be felt. The other issue was the noise - we were right by the road so there was traffic noise, music from cars ect all night but the first was noise from other guests. We could hear every footstep above us, doors slamming, and at one point (about 3am) a group of very drunk guests started blaring music and having a sing song. Then at about 4 we heard ‘shenanigans’ thanks to a creaky upstairs bed. We accept other people’s noises will sometimes be an issue when staying in hotels - however I had such a dreadful night’s sleep I probably won’t stay here again. I think it might be more suitable for a younger crowd who are out enjoying London nightlife.

Location, location, location....!!!

Location, location, location... 5 minutes walk from Piccadilly Circus Tube Station. The staff were very friendly. The decor is tired, but the room/bed were clean and tidy. For the price and location this is a no brainer good place to stay if you are not fussy/ don't need frills... I was solo traveling. Perfect for the theatres....

Stay away from this place! It’s central and not expensive for London but it’s the worst place I’ve ever seen, to the extent that I had to leave due to the poor condition the room was in, dirty, extremely poorly maintained, paper-thin mattress and a stench of dampness that I thought was potentially dangerous for my health. It just didn’t feel right and I had to leave. My original room was not available because someone had broken the bed’ and they said that the new room in a completely different hotel and building was ‘an upgrade’. Funny if it wasn’t tragic. Hotels com refused to give me a refund even though I checked out within 5 mins. Terrible

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

The room bearer no resemblance to the picture on the website, it was a damp basement with furniture on the brink of collapse - like something from a developing country. It was so terrible we decided not to stay there. I asked for my money back. Both the hotel and Hotel.com have promised a reply. I have heard from neither in three weeks.

The location is great, but the carpet is very dirty and unappealing. Given the low price, I only expect a clean carpet and bedding—nothing more. Hopeful they would invest some money in carpet cleaning or in new carpet.

Apart from a shower that couldn’t be used as it was scalding whichever way the control was turned and tv remote that didn’t work or the mattress that was so thin you could feel every spring in it; it was great!

This was the worst hotel, if you can call it that, by far. There was no lift and very steep stairs to carry luggage. The room was very filthy from the carpet to the walls, there was no working tv, the beds were very uncomfortable just sitting on them. Really disappointed and disgusted. False advertisement as the room looks nothing like the picture on the advertisement. Mom and I stayed for less than 5 minutes and had to book a hotel nearby right away. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.
