While i wasn't expecting a five star notel, this inn is very dirty and unkept. The tv advertised in the room is tiny and doesnt work. There is no battery in the tv remote control, no rubbish bin in the room just to mention a few. I won't be going to this in again

COCKROACHS everywhere, even in the bed!
Several dead cockroaches on the floor, pulled back the sheet and one scurried out of the bed. Pulled forward the bed, a live one on the wall and floor behind it. Next to rubbish and a scrunched up dirty pillowcase that had clearly been there for months. Baby coackroaches all over the shower tray, that we’re coming up from the plug hole. Flushed them away, they were back a couple hours later. And in the sink. So much mess on the bathroom mirror couldn’t see in it. Bugs on the floor behind the mirror No pillowcases on the pillows. The stench in the room reflecting its state, which could not have been cleaned in a long time. Couldn’t open the window. I asked to be moved, but told the hotel was full. I asked for a refund and told to go back to hotels.com. I asked hotels.com who told me to wait until they got a refund from the hotel. who offered 25$ compensation (which never arrived). But couldn’t find another hotel for that in London anyway, and so late at night. Will be reporting to the health department. Was awake all night. Do not stay here

WORST HOTEL- DO NOT STAY- revolting.
I work work in central London during the week and stay in a variety of hotels. I have to say this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Ground floor room, bedroom wall paper falling off all walls, bedding was itchy toilet was absolutely revolting, looked like a seagull had exploded over the window. Shower was tiny and you had to walk sideways to squeeze in and then nowhere to hang a towel so had to rest it on the door handle. Totally horrid, thought about checking out and finding somewhere else. Hotels.com I am angry that you have listed this and thoughts now on your quality.

The room was dirty, furniture was old and broken, including the bed. The bathroom was smelly and not pleasant. When we got into the room the blind was not on the wall. We asked for a different room and were told that the blind would be fixed. It was but the blind was of no use as the material was so light that you could see the window frame through it even at night. We couldn't wait to get out of there!

A disappointing stay with cockroaches
The advertised picture is/was a whole lot nicer than the room we stayed in. Also i feel like the room we eventually got was given to us as a punishment due to our 2 different check in like experiences. I had arranged to drop off luggage earlier than check in time and was assured we could check in at any time late in the evening (attended a concert at hyde park). At luggage drop off the first man was lovely, found our booking, knew we were dropping off luggage and got us to us fill in the white form, ready for check in later. He was really nice. At 1130pm when we actually checked in the 2nd man was quite rude, aggressive and argued we had lost our room key card. After much deliberation and explanation he got me to fill in another white form(which i had said was completed before). He then deliberated and gave us a key for LG2 but then suddenly changed his mind and gave us LG1. It was very late and we were too tired to complain but there were cockroaches, and constant pigeon noises from outside. Every thing could also do with a bit of a general deep clean. It wasnt particularly expensive but our room was nothing like the picture

The property was not all like the photos. I made the mistake of not reading reviews. Vermon ate chocolate i had bought for gifts over night. This must be closed down for health reasons. I woud like my money reimbursed. There is no lift. You have to carry your bags up and down the stairs. I cant believe Exedia are associated wththis accommodation.

Scratch this one off my list.
The room was not serviced during my stay. There was a roll of toilet paper propping the window open. The bathroom door had been kicked open at some point and not repaired—the wood was still splintered and the door didn’t latch. The bathroom curtain was flimsy and filthy
