Too old and too lossy. It has to remodel for its electric connection, desk lights, Barth-room ventilation, floor carpet, breakfast varieties.

Absoloute dirty stinking hole.
Absoloutly disgusting. Would have been better sleeping on bench in soho square. No hot water. Bed and units looked like theyd been pulled out of a skip. Everything was sticky and dirty. Sheets torn. Shower tray black with filth.

Needs improvement, uncomfortable bed
Bed was terrible. Got a really sore back 2 nights in so they changed the mattress, but it wasn’t better, the bed base itself was flimsy and cheap. The pillow was not very good. Staff were friendly. Breakfast finished at 9am, far too early. Room was clean but in corners dust, old coins, pen lid on window cil etc, you can tell a deep clean hasn’t been done in over 6 months. Bathroom sink was small which would be ok if it didn’t have a broken disused soap dispenser in the most awkward position. Bumped my head on it and it fell off. They provide bar soap so an unused soap dispenser is a waste of space. Interiors a bit dated but instead of new curtains and a lick of paint, you’d put up with dated interiors if the bed was comfortable. For a hotel this is a must. The heating in my room was stuck on, so when I returned to the hotel it was so hot. I’d prefer to be able to turn the radiator off. The hotel needs a little fine turning to be more comfortable, remove unnecessary items such as soap dispensers, and extend breakfast until 10am. Would not stay again for the same or similar price other hotels offer comfortable beds and good pillows in a similar location. The owners should have a little more pride in what they do, the staff were hardworking and friendly.

You need to know what you’re getting with a place like this. It’s not luxury, but it’s still a bit pricey for what it is. The room was OK, but it was far too hot. Needs a fan or aircon desperately. Breakfast was nothing special, but it’s better than nothing. Not enough towels supplied. Great locatiom though and it’s ok for a cheap couple of nights. You wouldn’t want to stay for a week though. They charge extra for wifi, I didn’t need it so no idea whether it’d be any good, but charging extra for wifi is crazy these days.

Firm but fair review
Stayed for one night. Staff friendly but building very dated. Our room was dirty and very dusty with a broken window pane sellotaped together. Bathroom extremely small like something found in a caravan and there was no hot water. On a plus, the bed was surprisingly comfy and the hotel was quiet. Breakfast was very basic but did offer branded cereals. The luggage storage facilities leaves a lot to be desired; literally leaving your cases in the breakfast room with no security of it actually being there when you return.

I checked in and went to my room. There was an annoying drip coming from the bathroom. Who could sleep with that? I went back to the desk and demanded a different room, which was provided. I stayed 3 nights due to the convenient location. No frills cheap hotel near Russell Square and the British Museum.

Shabby and unclean
Room and bathroom was dirty. Bed mattress was getting old and protruding into my back. The whole place is shabby. Not priced accordingly, we paid about £106 for B&B, that’s too high for the quality of the hotel.

This is a budget hotel so you get what you pay for. Staff were great, really friendly and continental breakfast was included in my room rate. Bedding and towels clean and fresh. The property could do with a freshen up as paintwork faded and shower room akin to something in an old campervan/ caravan. I had a single room which was ok for 1 night to put my head down but wouldnt want to stay in a single room for any longer.

Check in/out was at a different hotel 2 doors down. Rooms were very dated and didn't look like they had been hoovered for weeks. Room smelt of stale cigarettes probably from years ago. Shower room/toilet was so small and old. Can't cooment on breakfast as we didn't stay for it. Would rather pay double and stay somewhere else. I will not be back to this hotel, ever.
