We stayed in Cromwell Crown last September, actually it was the worst hotel /hostel we stayed in. It was dirty (reconstruction needed), rooms were to small with dirty linens and something what recognise a cover we rather put away. That would not be the worst but the bartroom was- dirty, smelly and shower bath was still cluttered with hair and... more

I stayed for 4 nights while working locally. To get a single room in London for £30, albeit without private facilities, is very cheap - a hostel would be the only other option at this price in central London. Don't stay here if you want luxury, or even a particularly pleasant place to stay - be realistic and pay the... more

The pictures they show are false advertising. The rooms look nothing like the photos and the outside of the building is filthy. This place is a disgusting dump. Cleary the hotels in Britain are never checked for standards as this one should no longer be in business. Place is shoddy, has not been maintained for years and a definate NO... more

This hotel has to be the worst I have ever stayed in, I cannot understand why this place is allowed to be open!! I was staying with 3 friends so we decided to book a room for 4, when we booked we requested a room with 2 singles and 1 double with an ensuite. We got to our room we... more

We organised a night out in town for a friends Birthday and wanted somewhere clean and basic to stay for 1 night, considering we wouldnt be spending that long in the room!. Unaware of the horrors that awaited us we arrived just in time to book in and get changed for our evening out. On arrival there was a collective... more

I stayed there for one night with 3 other friends as a place to stay after a night out in Kensington. We walked into to shabby reception and really werent impressed. We didnt expect anything amazing as it was so cheap, but something that was at least given a lick of paint in the past 20 years, may have been... more

Booked this hotel on-line as it looked cheap and cheerful! Only wanted a hotel so we could get changed for a night out after work and all 4 girls not have to go home alone in taxi's! Sooooo shouldn't have booked it! The pictures are quite obviously FAKE! Must have been taken when the hotel first opened or are of... more

Far better than the other reviews suggest. Rooms are size of narrow dorm single. Private bath (shower) similar. Clean, no bugs at all. Carpet is old. Staff (lobby, breakfast) is friendly, competent. Breakfast is just cereal, toast with the works, drinks. Excellent location, Sainsbury's supermarket 2 minute walk. 2 excellent restaurants across the street. Walk to Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park,... more

I reserved this hotel for 5 nights online because it was the cheapest one available. When I got there the lobby was disgusting. It had a "no smoking" sign, but the place stunk of smoke. After she made me pay upfront for the five night stay (which i though was off) I struggled to get my two pieces of luggage... more
