O.K. stay for 2 nights. Room had a slight problem in that the window was drafty - it didn't fir in the frame well - & no double glazing, making the room a bit cold. Shower was very small thoguh I managed. In room wifi was o.k.

Not so good
Budget hotel in need of upgrade and refit. Large bedroom with wooden floor. Partially partitioned to allow for storage by operators. Flimsy doors key operated self locking, so rember your key when traveling to the bathroom. No services in the room. TV and kettle, the little basket offering tea, coffee or milk was empty. WiFi is extra.... The bathroom is at the very bottom of the hotel. Seperate shower room to toilet. Hostal may have offered more quality

For the price you really cannot complain, I paid just over £140 for 2 nights all the other hotels around that area was around the £250 mark. The room was a little hard to find as the layout is slightly confusing, the shower isn’t very big at all with barely any room to move around in, the floors are pretty squeaky so you can hear every little footstep outside your room. Despite this you can’t argue with the price. I will definitely be using this hotel in the future for more London trips, as the area it’s in is very convenient as it is close to all the main attractions of London.

In the app or online (even in the welcome book! In the room) It said breakfast included. However this wasnt correct. Also the TV remote on off button needs attention. And toilet seat needs securing. All in all though its a lovely place with friendly people and a nice atmosphere so I enjoyed my visit.

The room two was better than many reviews. Staff is very friendly, everything went smoothly.. Although the walls are out of paper, You here every sound from the neighbours. Bathroom was acceptable although the shower head holder was broken. The curtain definitely should be exchanged because of staining. And the glass to brush your teeth and rinse your mounth was dirty. All things which could easily be mended and would make the experience with hatdly no effort much better. Obviously, the walls would have to be doubled up with plaster boards and repainted.

The balcony door didn’t lock, it took two people to push it with full force in order to close it. The bedding also wasn’t changed. There were hairs, false lashes, makeup and chocolate all over the sheets, duvet and pillows. We then went down to reception and were made to change the bedding ourselves.

We just needed a room to sleep in after theatre trip so this did the job. The rooms are dated but were clean and spacious. One night here was fine. Wouldn’t stay longer than that. Good location by Holborn station. Walkable to Covent Garden’s. So suited us. Cheap and easy.
