this is the second hotel that i have used that has bad reviews on here,,,,,,the hotel is 10 minute walk from euston station, i had the fastest checkin i have ever had, i had booked a triple room with private bathroom, the room was clean,,,the beds were soooooooo comfortable, great pillows, shower was hot, even on the ground floor near the reception it was so quiet,,,,,,the breakfast was good , plenty of choice , i will use this hotel again....i find it hard to understand the bad comments unless they are from competitors or people who expect 5 star for 2 star prices. wifi was good and no problem to leave bags in the lounge after check out

This is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. I have stayed all around the world in some very basic hotels in third world countries and always try to find positive things to say and almost always leave 4 and 5 star reviews. But I was completely shocked at the state of this hotel and I can hardly think of a positive. Firstly, the entire hotel was filthy. I don't think the room had ever been hoovered. Plugging my phone in next to the bed meant putting my hand down into piles of dust and dirt between the bed and bedside table. There were long, dark hairs everywhere - on the bed, visible under the sheets, in the sink in the bedroom. The kettle in the room was thick with dust. Don't even get me started on the shared bathroom... I don't usually use the telly when staying away but I thought I'd have it on for background noise and I couldn't get it to work (remote covered in grime and dust too). Wifi was patchy and not good enough to stream anything to watch. There was a good choice of food for breakfast but the food had obviously been sitting out for some time and the eggs and beans were cold. The cleanliness of the rest of the hotel made me nervous about the food hygiene anyway. I asked if I could pay extra for an ensuite room both by emailing before and on check-in (it was my company's mistake booking a room with a shared bathroom, so that was fair enough and not the hotel's fault) but there was no willingness to be flexible at all, even with the offer of extra payment and the fact I knew from looking online that ensuite rooms were available. I was told because bookings were non-amendable I would have to pay for a whole new room if I wanted to switch rather than just paying the extra. I get sometimes hotels have these policies for various reasons but there was no attempt at an explanation and they weren't apologetic about it at all. Friendliness and customer service almost non-existent. Besides the young man at reception in the morning no other staff member I saw ever cracked a smile. It seems this hotel was once ok from previous reviews but wish I had checked recent reviews before staying as they all say the same. I took photos of the room and hotel but, again, the state of it can be seen in other reviewers' photos. Please, save yourself the trauma and stay somewhere else.

Our room was large with a private bathroom that was small but functional. The WIFI connection was great, we had a small fridge that was great for snacks and drinks, and the breakfast each morning provided a standard English breakfast with options for fruits and cereals. The location is fantastic; quick walk to Piccadilly and tons of shops and restaurants. The staff was friendly and attentive. The only negative was the bed and pillows were extremely hard and uncomfortable. We had to take an extra blanket provided and spread it out under the bottom sheet to make it possible to actually get some sleep. Both of us tossed and turned the first night, unable to get comfortable on the rock hard mattress.

The only good thing I can say about the Arran House Hotel is that my room was quiet as requested. But apart that and the decent location, this was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. My room (number 30) was tiny. I could touch both walls while standing in the middle of the room, while the carpet was dirty and the walls extremely grubby. And I couldn't even get the TV to work! I had breakfast as part of the deal. But as I had to leave before breakfast was available at 7.30am, I didn't even get that. It felt like I had gone back to the 1980s (which is probably when my rooms last decorated). Arran House gives hotels a bad name.

Worst experience ever. Pictures will say all. Not recommended at all. Don't go there unless you like blood on the shower wall, pubes in the sink (and everywhere around it), hairs on carpet and towels and for a very long time not cleaned the bathroom. Disgusting! Big No No No for this hotel. What I must say as "+" was the receptionist. Nice and polite guy. But don't know if it makes sense go there just because of that.
