Booked a late room at the Staunton, on location and price. I new it was one of a long line of unprepossessing hotels on Gower Street. It was only for one night, so I thought I could put up with a hostel type atmosphere. Just shows you shouldn't assume! All reception staff (one family?) were really friendly, the room was... More

We were given a room in the basement which was also close to a very loud central fan/heater (?) and couldn't sleep all night.... More

I'm really not sure how hotels get their star rating but arriving at this hotel after staying at a 4* hotel in Venice, Italy, this hotel was a huge disappointment. If you are used to four star hotels of the Radisson or similar variety, you will be disappointed by this hotel. We arrived mid evening after trecking across London which... More
