Well we arrived to a queue a mile long to book in, as it is every morning and afternoon, waited over half and hour then were given the keys to our room. The rooms are adequate but not special, neither is there alot of space in them. We spent the day out coming back about 9 pm bought a drink... more

Stopped here with my wife on a Superbreak Christmas shopping and show weekend. Yes the hotel is tired, but who comes to London to spent all one's time in a room? On the positive side its a great location, warm, clean and represent great value for money. On the down side, it's a bit run down, you need to be... more

We stayed at this dreadful hotel during the October school holiday. the check in was very good, fast and efficient and even though we arrived 3 hours early we were given our room key. That was the best bit, because the room was tiny and the bathroom was basic with mould all round the bath. The windows are not double... more

I've just come back from a weekend stay (2 nights) at this hotel, with my wife and 5 year old daughter, and I would definately recommend it to friends/relatives. I must admit, prior to arrival, we were a little concerned by some of the previous reviews. However, upon arrival we found our room to be clean and comfortable with the... more

My husband and I recently stayed at this hotel for two nights. Prior to our stay I was quite concerned about some of the reviews I had read but decided to go with an open mind. We drove down to London, found the hotel very easily (with the help of sat nav), parked in the car park under the hotel,... more

Paid for a room by myself for four days. Left my gear on the bed and came back to find two other people asleep in the other two beds! Turns out I had just paid for the bed, thanks for letting my know RNH. They were woken by alarms at 5.30am and went on a trip and were replaced by... more

I know - you do not get the same value for money in central London as elsewhere. But this place is far below average even for semi-budget Bloomsbury hotels. Room was clean but 1950s style and the tiny mattress was probably the same age. Bed was horrible. Hotel is huge but does not have any amneties - not even sofas... more

A good compromise when staying in London for sightseeing on a budget, room was a good size, beds ok, not to noisy, excellent location, be early for breakfast as it gets very busy, I would recommend this hotel for most people travelling on a budget more

this was my 2nd time at this hotel. I choose it because it's a really a good deal (in comparison with other London hotels) and has a central location as well (4 stations from Picadilly Circus). Don't get bother with anything else, the front desk staff is careless, the maids are shouting each other every morning and so on. I... more
