The best feature, with regard to this hotel, is by far its location. A few minutes’ walk from Tottenham Court Rd tube station and the busy Oxford Street as well as being just around the corner from the British Museum. Having paid £40 for a room I was not expecting much in the way of comfort if I’m honest and... More

I chose this hotel due to its location and value. Check-in was swift and staff friendly. There are no lifts, so I was offered a first floor room (originally would have been on the 2nd floor), so that was helpful. I wasn't expecting much (having found no positive reviews anywhere), but found the room to be clean, as well as... More

Stayed in room 44, April 2013. The room is at the very top, back of the building, one of five on the landing sharing a toilet prised into an internal cupboard and a yucky shower in a slightly larger internal cupboard. Yes it's cheap, yes the cheap nasty beds have even cheaper nasty mattresses and the tv was dodgy. The... More

Up two steep flights of stairs with dodgy carpet. Mold and rust round toilet. Walls of room scuffed, dirty. Many water stains on the ceiling. TV kept cutting in and... More

Stayed here few times in past but has rapidly gone downhill! Tired scruffy decor, indifferent staff, lumpy beds and broken tv. Dangerous shower(suddenly goes hot & cold), curtains hanging off, rubbish under bed. Clean sheets but there were bedbugs!!. Room was up 5 flights of stairs and no offer of help with luggage even though I was with small children.... More

Well the curtains were 6 inches too short. We got one pillow each. At least we didn't get bedbugged. The decor was scruffy. We played 'hide the complimentary soap' as many people before us had! We found a lot of it dotted all over the room. We didn't shower for two days because it was the dirtiest bathroom I've ever... More

Decided to stay here as had business to attend to and wanted somewhere cheap and in the centre of London, this place ticked both boxes. Had read reviews on here so was a bit apprehensive, didn't need to be. The room I stayed in was basic but clean,although the bed wasn't the most comfortable I still had a decent nights... More

The price & location are perfect. But the rooms are dirty, bed looked clean but the bites over my arms & legs say otherwise!! The hotel could do with a good clean and paint!! I found the hotel staff fine, they weren't friendly nor nasty. With this location they could easily charge double if they sorted everything out!
