I have stayed in some poor hotels in my time but this one tops them all. Environmental Health should be taking a good look at this hotel. How it is allowed to stay open I will never know. With the Olympics this year god help anyone who books this hotel as you will be in for a diabolical stay. The... More

This hotel is disgusting in every way. It is dirty and I have never in my life experienced such bad service. The rooms are awful and I would recommend that anyone looking for a cheap hotel, spends an extra few pounds and stays elsewhere as this our stay was a horrible experience. When we returned to the 'hotel' (more like... More

The other reviews say it all, wish I had seen them first but it was a quick booking. Absolutely filthy, bed bugs and when I spotted a baby cockroach crawling on my pillow, that was enough I sat up all night and left as soon as I can. I will be writing to the environmental department to report this disgusting... More

While I know that 50 GBP isn't much when it comes to lodging in London, esp. that this place is close to the train station and the British Museum, but this 50 GBP is only for a room with no bathroom. For this price for a room with shared bathrooms, I expect much better cleanliness. The worst part is actually... More

I consider myself a fair reviewer and have a knack of finding the good in everything. The good in this is the location, it is in a close proximity to the West End and its walking distance to all theatres along with its extremely cheap prices (for London anyway) leaves it a good option if trying to do things on...

For travellers on a budget this is a very good choice. The location is perfect for visiting the British Museum , Covent Garden, Oxford Street, Chinatown and even Trafalgar Square and the Thames. It is also good for people travelling via Euston not wanting to use the underground as it is an easy level walk or bus ride - bus... More

Avoid this hotel at all costs! The website does not highlight how bad this place was! Where do I start? We arrived well after check in time, approaching our room there were dirty sheets and bags of rubbish out side each room that had just been left on the landing with no cleaner in sight! Not the best first impression... More
