We stayed for a night after seeing a show at Shaftesbury Theatre, so it was an easy walk back late at night. The extra fee for en suite wasn't worth it. We ended up using shared bethroom/shower for space & standard of facility. The wardrobes were all screwed closed, so would be no good if staying longer & wanted to hang things. It could do with a fresh lick of paint. The room was suitably warm when we arrived back in the evening.

The room was the smallest room with 2 single beds as expected for a twin room, the ensuite was basically a portaloo with a plastic shower, the sealant was mouldy. There were cobwebs in every corner of the room. No facilities to even make a coffee in the morning, and our view from the window was the staffs smoking area. Although on a positive note, the staff were friendly and helpful in guiding us for where to eat travel etc, and the beds were comfortable.

This hotel was absolutely filthy. From the moment we walked through the door I could smell mould and faecal matter. The walls, radiator, side tables, floors ans curtains were filthy and mouldy. The carpet hadnt been cleaned and the room looked nothing like advertised. We checked out immediately and have already complained.

The location is fabulous. But the rooms are in poor repair and completely lacking in amenities, the beds are rubbish and simple things like the shower or curtains are unpleasant to use due to poor design and obvious cost cutting at every turn. The room was inexpensive, but I have booked inexpensive rooms in London that felt much less like a apartment that no one has quite gone shopping for yet.

Not my cup of tea
The positive at this hotel would be the staff - polite, helpful and efficient. They should be commended. Unfortunately, everything else was very poor. The rooms appear to be ex-student rooms and are badly in need of refurbishment. They are also filthy - I thought the bathroom smelt like a urinal which had never seen a disinfectant. The carpet looked like it had never seen a vacuum and the walls had stains on them which I chose not to investigate. Other pluses - the bed was comfortable enough and I slept well. It was particularly quiet and I slept with the window open. The towels were also clean. Would I stay again? No, definitely not. Would I recommend it to someone who is happy with a clean bed and an extremely low cost? Maybe. But I would still offer a very stern caution. You certainly get what you pay for in London, but I would not pay this price again for this room.

Depends what you’re after…
It depends what you’re after. The hotel is in a perfect location, just a few minutes walk from Oxford Street and other main attractions. It was also quiet and there was plenty of room. It was also pretty cheap for four of us to stay one night. The staff were very polite. However, the beds were uncomfortable and the room was very hot without any ventilation (no Air con and you couldn’t open the windows). Therefore, we slept on top of the bed, but couldn’t use, the bedspread as it was stained and filthy. Also the bathroom taps wouldn’t turn of and the general cleanliness of the room was poor. If you need cheap and cheerful, then stay here. If you’re after something more luxurious, then stay else where.

Nice budget option, room relatively clean, however not very good noise insulation so it’s woken up buy doors slamming often during the night. Communal bathroom was not overly clean but acceptable for the price paid

Only if your desperate
As you approach all looks very nice for the area of London it's in but once inside it starts to look very tired and under maintained. Staff member on reception was always very polite so can't fault that but even though I booked this last minute and on a budget I could afford and using some account points for half I was disappointed as the room was very disappointing, out dated and long overdue an actual clean. Dust, dirty, grime, cobwebs and spiders, a worn out desk with god knows what marks on it that is only fit for the skip, no remote for the tv, shower was terrible and very poorly cleaned and maintained with a hole in the plastic sink.

This place is very well located. You can take taxis and uber to the most important places like Big Ben or Picadilly Circus. The room did not have AC, but their friendly staffs provided some fans to help with the hot weather. Is definitely not a fancy place to stay, but it is very kids and family friendly. At the end, we used just to sleep/ rest, and that was perfect because our plan was to spend a lot of time knowing places! I traveled with my 8 years old son, and highly recommend this place!
