I stayed here for 6 nights with my husband and stepson, sharing a triple room. The room is on the small side and the bathroom is tiny - but pretty much the only thing we did in our room was sleep and talk, so we didn't need a great deal of space. We took advantage of the wardrobe to unpack a couple of our suitcases so that we wouldn't have to open them all the time, and that probably made a huge difference in space issues. The staircase IS tiny, so if you have to drag luggage up, then make sure you can handle it. :)

I cannot say enough how wonderful this location is! We were able to walk so many places , and I could shop to my heart's content without having to worry about dragging lots of bags on the Tube during busy hours. The breakfast was a little monotonous after 6 mornings of eggs, bacon and sausage - but it was prepared with a smile every morning. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. We had a problem with our toilet our last day there, and the owner quickly fixed, very cheerfuly.
I will definitely stay here again if I ever return to London.

We arrived at the Seven Dials and our hearts dropped! Outside looked dull, dusty and old. "Oh dear" we thought what have we let ourselves in for, We arrived too early for check in, so we left our bags in the "reception" which is a tiny hall and our bags were right beside the doorway, which left us uneasy till we returned. On returning at 2pm for check-in we were told our room wasn't ready which was annoying as we had been up since 5am! Eventually we were allowed to our room which was on the 3rd floor. The stairs is hardly wide enough for one person, never mind one person and a big suitcase and hand luggage and hand bags and NO LIFT. It took us much pushing, straining, stopping, heaving, falling over and giggling to get to the 3rd floor. I would not recommend to anyone who hasn't tried out for the olympics recently. Our room wasn't as dreadful as we expected after seeing the rest of the "hotel", The room was small but we made do, in fact it wasn't as small as other London hotels we've been in. The bathroom was TINY though. Plenty of towels and toilet paper and soap (not wrapped). Bedclothes were clean and room seemed generally clean, We had a view onto the street outside which we were happy with initially till we realised that it would and did keep us awake at night. Every sound could be heard from other rooms so if you are partaking in any nightly activities, don't forget your neighbours ;) We had a look at the breakfast room and decided we were not going near it again. Its tiny, old, cramped, ewww! Staff were very friendly, all foreigners but with good english. Location of this "hotel" was superb. We were going to a few Shows so it was ideal and we were going to Leicester Square for clubbing which was a ten minute walk. Our television broke on Saturday afternoon and we were afraid we would miss The X-Factor so the manager of the hotel came as fast as he could with a new television so that we wouldnt miss our show. We were very grateful. The rooms were quite cold and very dark all the time too. Also we noticed that anyone could get into this hotel. We did ring the bell but they never questioned us.

There are lots of very good things about this hotel, the price at £85 per double room per night including a good English breakfast has got to be one of them, the location, as has been said before is just brilliant, this is a lovely part of London, especially in the evening and the whole hotel seems to be recently decorated and is very clean. The staff were very pleasant, check in was quick, though the room was not ready at 1500. We payed then (though we were not asked to) so checkout was even quicker.

On the down side was the fact that the room was very, very small and for anyone staying longer than a night I think this could be hard to live with, I have no idea where anyone with luggage would be able to put it. The water pressure at the top of the building (Room 18) seems to be very low so the shower is not good (though the water was hot ). The room has a large heater that didn't work ,though for us this did not matter and I feel the staff would have sorted that if we had asked, there is always someone on duty on reception. The important things for us though were that the bed was very uncomfortable and did seem very small, we have a king size at home and I can't believe 6" of bed space can make that much difference, there was only one flat pillow each and this room (again as mentioned before) is next to the communal toilet so you do have noise from other guests in the night and these things makes the difference between a good nights sleep and not and we did not have a good nights sleep at all. I think we could have coped with the noise better had we been comfortable. Before this night I would say my husband could sleep on a washing line but it seems when actually faced with one, he couldn't!
I would love to stay here again but would ask for a twin bed room, I reckon you have to get a bigger room with that! If the Owners read this, I think they have the makings of a lovely hotel but for us over 50s, they could do a deluxe room (more space, bigger bed, two pillows each and a duvet not blankets) I'd happily pay more for it.

If you are looking for a budget hotel in an excellent location for sightseeing, this is the hotel for you. If you are looking for lots of ammenities, stay across the street at the expensive Radisson.

Seven Dials is only a few blocks to the nearest tube and bus stops (Tottenham Court Road) and close to nightlife. Central Covent Garden and Soho are within walking distance. Covent Garden starts a few doors down with Neal's Yard, funky hip shopping and restaurants.

We had asked for a quiet room in the back and even got a triple room instead of a double. It was much bigger than we were expecting. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. We were suprised by the large breakfast offered.

FYI - The hotel does not have a lift and has four floors with a narrow stairway. If this is an issue, request a first floor room. Also every now and then you can hear the rooms around you, but it's not a big deal.

Yes this is a basic hotel. You don't get little bottles of shampoo you don't use. However the only other hotels I found in this price range (NOT including breakfast) with good reviews were in King's Cross where people were afraid to walk down the street at night. I was very happy to stumble across this gem. Also it was much cleaner than some hotels I've stayed at in the U.S.

The other reviews here are spot on. The couple who hated it in October (KKincaid) obviously didn't read the reviews before booking the hotel.

I booked through[--]

We would definitely stay here again!
