this by far the worst hotel if its called so, i ever stayed in. No reception desk rather a den cramped with stuff and a bearded wahabi with flat affect face looking at you, gives you the keys and find your way, dirty every where, small curtain (zero privacy) that is used to wipe some body secretions, you can see...

Everything about this "hotel" is terrible, don't ever go there! I'd much rather stay at the youth hostel than at the Continental. The guys at the front desk are unfriendly. The window in our room wouldn't close because obviously it had been painted without the necessary care, so the dried paint held the window open. We asked whether there was... More

I had booked and planned to stay at this hotel the weekend of 23-26 June, I however checked out the day after already. I was given a room, normal singel en suite, which was located in the basement, not a problem if it weren't for how dirty it was. Stains on the sheets, dirt on the walls, hair in the... More

This is not a high standard hotel by any means but for cheapness and location great. Pillows like cardboard promised others but they never appeared. Room just fitted a double bed. We had ordered twin bedded room. They apologised but couldnt change room as they where full up. Dont go if you have large suitcases. Nowhere to put them. This... More

Excellent location for a visit to London, being a few minutes walk from Oxford Street, Madame Tussauds and Baker Street. Friendly staff to welcome us and comfortable rooms, if a little small. Considering the location, the hotel was a very good deal and a made for a relaxing stay. More

Problem is..you think you've gotten a bargain because of it's prime location next to Bakers Street, stately entrance-way and what looks like quaint antique- like interior. What it actually is is substandard and tinpan alley in sheeps clothing with a staff that clearly are doing their best with little to work with. I was a bit desperate as all the... More

First of all, what makes me really upset is that these few positive reviews are clearly made by hotel owner or staff - this hotel is nothing even close to what they say... I would not stay there even if somebody paid me - in fact i never even stayed there.. Just walking into the room was enough of an... More

After reviewing this complaint, the 5 minutes mentioned is not completely true. The reception staff advised me that the young couple spent 30 minutes in the room, after which they returned to reception to demand a refund. In fact the complainee even suggested an alternative of a free coupon to return on another day. If the room was that bad,... More

At the minimum rate of £30 per day for a single room this hotel does its job pretty well. It is a place to sleep, not for work or romance. Of course you can feel the hotel's age, see some things that needs repair (e.g. missing the mirror lamp at the bathroom) and space is limited - I was in... More

First, my room wasn't ready when I checked in, so they put me in a temporary room. It was decent enough, but what a surprise I was in for when I got my actual room. It does not have its own bathroom. It is out in the hall. The "deluxe" single I had stayed in the night before has its... More
