Disappointed

Disappointed by amenities in room. I double socket not near beds. One shelf between beds, most of room on shelf taken up by large phone. Shower was very dated, turning hot and cold taps to get temp right. Toilet roll holder broken. Ripped paper in hall outside our room however staff very helpful and not worst hotel I have stayed at.

We didn’t have breakfast included but the room was very clean (they cleaned it everyday) and had everything we needed. The staff was really kind and attentive. Our window didn’t close properly but we managed with the heating:))

Firstly we are talking about the centre of London so the price reflects the location and convenience to the theatre district. The hotel was uninviting, the lobby was bland with no seating and poor signage to rooms. The corridors to the rooms were very dated with peeling dirty wallpaper and felt like a hostel. The room was extremely dated and uninspiring. No artwork. There was literally one plug socket no USB. The bathroom has not be reburbished from I would say the 70s and you need a step ladder to get in the bath. In fairness though it was clean enough. The room was hot with no air conditioning. The window which was filthy did open though although our position was overlooking ugly roofs and was near a pub or club and music was playing until about 2 am so couldn’t sleep. The breakfast was fair with traditional English and some yogurts and pastries . The environment however was like a college cafeteria with plastic white tables and chairs crammed in with hardly any room between seats. The staff were pleasant enough though. We stayed for one night to go to the theatre so it was manageable and the price reflected the location but I would probably prefer to stay in a premier inn if it was available

There are downsides to very large hotels

Booking in was horrendous. I had to produce my booking and id and was made to feel like I was some sort of criminal. Rest of staff were pleasant and friendly. Limited plug sockets and none next to the bed

Great area to stay, close to the Underground and buses. Would have been nice to have more space to put your suitcase like a luggage rack. Also ice machines would have been great.
