The hotel is situated on Gower Street and from the outside looks no different from the other hotels in the street. However once we got inside things started to go down hill. There was a horrible smell of cooked food in the hall which looked tired and in need to redecoration. The man on reception was pleasant enough but we... more

I was booked in to this place by another member of staff. There are no testimonials on their website. There is a reason for this and if you take a look at the uploaded photos you will see why. This place should be closed down. It is the most unpleasant place I have ever set foot in. Someone elses soap... more

As per Rachel25's review, I would not recommend this hotel to ANYONE! We recently stayed at the Garth, as it turns out, thankfully for one night only. Our double-bedded room had just enough room for a Grotty shower, Grotty chair, Grotty shelf and Grotty TV! The carpet was peeling away from your feet when you walked and was also threadbare... more

Another one I got from eurocheapo. Same area as Arran House. Room was so narrow, that the beds were put head to head (not joking). I felt like I was in a closet. Also very dated. I can't remember the breakfast so it must have been at least decent. For the money, go to Arran House. more

The Garth Hotel is in a lovely part of London, in Bloomsbury, very close to the British Museum. The building is very old (200 yrs.) with many flights of stairs and no elevator. The rooms had sinks and showers, but no toilets, and some were very small. However, even with these drawbacks, everything was very clean, and the staff was... more

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone it is totally misleading to even classify itself as a hotel. It is more like a 'falling down' hostel charging hotel prices. If I could have found somewhere else I would have done so. My first room supposedly single with shower, had a bed that needing replacing, headboard had fallen off it,... more

Never again!

We stayed in the triple room for one night - was enough! Bedroom furniture the cheapest you can imagine and almost falling apart, don't look down the side of the bed in the corners - was worried about what was lurking in the dust and dirt. Beds very uncomfortable and the 'bathroom' - well, you struggled to turn around in... more

Positives: 1. Price 2. Location 3. Near subway stop 4. Group of girls traveling alone felt save 5. They let us store our bags here the day after we checked out 6. Tasty breakfast Negatives: 1. I think our room was a converted broom closet. The door would not open entirely because the bed was in the way. Oh well,... more
