Please do not waste your money staying here. For the extra £20 or £30 stay somewhere else. The room was cramped and absolutely filthy. The bed clothes had stains on them, I was bitten by bed bugs. Doors were kept closed using spoons, light fittings falling off ceiling with wires showing. Fluorescent strip lighting was main bedroom light. Toilet was... More

Please do not stay here. It is disgusting. My daughter and I paid £89 for a twin room measuring 13 ft by 7 ft with a plastic pod- like shower/toilet taking up part of the space. There was no light in the shower so if you pulled the folding door across you were in the pitch black. Beds were touching... More

I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone, if people are considering staying there, don't!!! would have been better off in a hostel. It was dirty, cramped, cold. There was no milk for tea coffee facilities. Hairs in sink and bottom of shower cubicle. Hairs and stains on bedding. Tiny toilet with shower and basin all cramped in a space no... More

The hotel is suitated near Russell square, in a part of London I particularly love. Despite the trip advices, I decided to book there beacause of the price. Spent there 3 nights. Well I wasted my company money ... At first it was not easy to find the hotel: despite the name on the sign in the street you actually... More

Absolute disgrace to call this a hotel! The "ladies" of the night ring the bell at all hours to book a room by the hour!! Room was tiny, dirty (cobwebs that have been around for so long you can see the dust on them) and damp. We made the mistake of moving the bed a few feet from the wall... More

I was shocked. I was annoyed with myself that I didn't pay more to stay somewhere else. I was in the basement, small, dingy, couldn't risk leaving the window open so had to sleep with the heating on. Mould in the shower, water was cold - not very nice to shower. I got them to turn the heating off but... More

I did not really look at my room I dropped my bag and went to met friends, but when I got back around 11 at night I sat on the bed for the first time to find the mattress was so worn the dip was huge and very uncomfortable. The shower room was dirty, (dark curly hairs everywhere) and so... More

Myself and my partner booked into this hotel as it was one of the cheapest we could find last minute. Having known what it would be like, I would have happily paid masses more to stay anywhere else. On arrival, I was slightly concerned by the fact that the two people in front of me at the reception were complaining... More

We found the hotel to be in a great location, only 10 minutes walk from Kings Cross and near to Bloomsbury, which has some nice pubs. The room itself was small and shabby, but clean. The en suite was a horific plastic pod from the 70s but everything worked in it, except for the taps which dripped loudly all night,... More

Small & dirty rooms, staff is not able to help (they even don't have Europe-UK adaptors), quite small hotel.
