Exhausted after flying, this was a depressing room to come to. Duct tape covered the tears in the hallway carpet, and the room was spartan. No outlets in the bathroom, and no mirror in the room - made it difficult to blow dry, etc. No towel racks. The window had been bashed in (although outside it was covered with another... more

stayed there on Sunday 26th April 2009 and our room number was G6 if you can call it a room that is, it was a box with two single beds which were the worst bed i've ever slept in, the furniture was disgusting and paint peeling, there was no ensuite you had to use the toilet and shower that everyone... more

My stay on March 27th was quite good. Only a block from Kings Cross and the Tube, but on a quiet green square. Rooms tiny (as this is London) but furniture reatively new. Walls also recently painted, and bed linen almost new. Carpet just a bit worn. Bed a bit soft for my taste, but only needed for a night's... more

We've stayed in the Montana Exel for three nights and didn't like it at all. We tried our best to spend as little time as possible in the hotel because we didn't feel comfortable at all when staying there, mainly because it was really dirty. Our room hasn't been vacuumed for quite a while when we first entered it and... more

DON’T STAY HERE! My boyfriend and I stayed here at the end of Feb 09 and it is safe to say that we will never ever return! We knew what to expect with budget hotels and the room was fine, as was the location. However, on our second day, after a long day sightseeing my boyfriend went to freshen up... more

I went here with my mom, we stayed for four nights and will definitively go back if we're going to London in the future. The only not-so-good thing about this hotel is the lack of a little sofa group or something like it for the guests, but if you are as us, it will not really bother you. We were... more

This budget hotel is located near a tube. Not the best neighborhood at night. Check-in was fast and friendly. There is no lift in the hotel. Small room, worn-out bed, shower was ok. The toilet, which is situated in the corridor could not be locked. There is only one staircase, so no extra emergency exits available. No Internet facilities, no... more

London is well known as the city with the worst value lodging in the world. It also has a reputation for rampant bed bugs (I've been attacked twice, both in hotels over £100 per night) and strange plumbing (what's with those separate hot and cold sink faucets - my right hand is freezing while my left is burning) - based... more

I stayed at the Montana Excel for 3 nights from the 30th December to the 2nd January. Firstly our room was smaller than my bedroom, as our room was at the end of the building there was also a terrible damp problem which made the room smell stuffy and the walls were wet at all times. There was also no... more
