Upon closer inspection of my bed, I found that the comforter was covered in deposits of a dried white flaky substance from previous guests. The floor did not fare much better. Soured my entire stay in London.

I have never stayed in a more revolting hotel. the damp smell, the dirty room and the excuse for a toilet are an absolute disgrace. Sheets were clean but the duvet was marked. The blanket in the.wardrobe was definitely not fit for a dog. My wife gagged at the hairs in the sink. My wife and I never showered or... More

The location is the only plus point. The room was cramped and dirty and not cleaned during my stay. Avoid like the plague. The breakfast very limited. Tea making facilities in room but cup dirty, kettle was covered in dust. Spare blanket only suitable for a dog

Nothing nice to say, read other reviews, pretty much sums up what I have to say. Experienced a few budget hotels, this is the worst.

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

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
