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

where do you start when something has no redeeming qualities! we refused the first room, number 54 in the annexe, as it was absolutely stinking, i can't actually describe the smell, but something of a cross between an elderly pee stained relative, boiled fish and excrement!!!! we settled for room 12 in the main building, because we had tickets for... more

My friends and I booked a room in The Gresham as it was cheap, and central for our shopping weekend. Our room was in the basement....it reminded me of the "One foot in the Algarve" episode. Here Victor Meldrew and friends, on arriving at their holiday destination in the dark, ask local police directions to their appartment. However Victor and... more

Despite its low cost and good location, the Gresham Hotel should be avoided. It's noisy, smelly, dirty, and unsafe. When I was there, the street door didn't close properly, the floors and door hinges creaked, there were stains on the carpet and wall, the narrow twin room (6' by 15') was hot and plagued by traffic noise from the street,... more

Disgusting!

This is the worst place I have ever stayed in. You are charged on arrival not when you book which I had'nt realised. Our room was in the annexe which is a building a few doors down. There is no lift and we were 3 floors up. The room was dirty, the curtains were hanging off the rails, the bathroom... more

We have just returned from one night in The Gresham Hotel- luckily for us it was only one night!! Be aware that even though you give your card details online, you do not pay until you get there which we were not aware of so we were £70 down on spending money before we even got out the door! The... more

My friend booked this hotel for a two-day stay in London and she felt awful when it turned out to be a total disaster. I don't mind so much that it was very basic but we found the room to be completely disgusting - dirty, greasy and to top it all I found a pill a previous guest had dropped... more
