Cheap…yes, worth it…NO! You can't fault the hotel for cheapness, however when you pay £30 you don't expect to get your 3 rooms robbed within 10 minutes of you leaving the premises!!! The staff were incredibly unhelpful, the rooms are small and the bed uncomfortable, but we did not get to experience it fully as we checked in at 14.50,... more

On arrival was surprised to be asked to pay cash because, I was told. there was a workman on site that needed to be paid - I paid half in cash the rest on my card. The room was clean-ish - but the wall lights had been garotted and to use the TV which was perched on top of the... more

This is the first review I ever wrote just to warn other travelers about this hotel. It´s the most dirtiest place you can imagine. Everything is full of dust and the room smelled so bad. But the worst thing is that it is NOT SAFE. I locked all our trolley bags and put it in the wardrobe. After the whole... more

Too bad I didn't check the reviews about this hotel. Dirty hall with foreign front desk people who didn't know a thing about anything. Small, dirty room, no shower... had to walk to another floor to get it, and cold water.... Better camping in hyde park. more

If you don't want to chance having such a bad case of beg bug bites that you have to go to an emmergency clinic with suspected infection/poisoning - then don't stay here. Do not be fooled by being asked to check the room - ours looked clean - it was only in the night that the bugs surfaced. I am... more

I work in hotels myself and was incredulous at the state of this place! I wonder how they have not been closed down yet! Shame, because it is a great location... Not one aspect was in anyway redeeming. Everything from check-in to check-out was terrifyingly appalling. Oh, and whatever you do, do not eat the breakfast. more

ROOM: The room was on the third floor (street level as zero) on the street side of the building and it was for three people. There was a water tap and sink in the room. The drain smelled really bad all the time and also made our clothes stink. The dresser was broken and we didn't put anything in the... more

We stayed in this hotel for a night as 4 of us were going out for a night in London and needed a place that was cheap and close to the places we wanted to go and easy to get to. I found this place online and it was the cheapest I could find so we booked 2 twin rooms.... more

The Gresham is in a good location at a reasonable price. However, it is a bit unnerving to see bedbugs crawling around when one's mate is asleep--and to see the mass of bites that grow on the skin a day or two later. The shared showers were not cleaned, and a large window of one of the toilets was broken... more
