Good location, helpful staff, small and cold rooms
The complaints: - The room was really small (they have bigger rooms under ground level, but we'd prefer the more lights). - The room was pretty cold for the first few hours. - The free internet was not working in the whole room, just in some parts. The good things: - The staff was really helpful: they exchanged our room from an under the ground level one to a higher one and they charged only a small fee for an additional person. - The location couldn't be better at the edge of Zone 1 and 50 meters from a Tube station. - Pretty good value: among the cheapest hotels in London, yet in a quite central location.

Time-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
The Underground (Tube) subway (rail) is located across the street (Gloucester Station). It was very convenient and inexpensive to travel as the hotel is in Zone 1 and you can get an All-Day pass on the Underground to all of Londons attractions.

London Layaway
We were one block from the tube, Piccadilly line. Could walk to many of the great sites, along with Harrods, Hyde park, Piccadilly Circus, men's shops! What the hotel didn't have was much room, the full size bed was comfortable but took up the entire room. The saving grace was a nice balcony/deck that we were able to sit and relax on. And we had nice weather to do so!

Good Value, Great Location
Very convenient location. Across the street from the Gloucester Road tube station, several restaurants, and a grocery store. A few blocks from the Natural History Museum and Hyde Park. We had a room on the back side of the building so it was nice and quite. The room was small but adequate and we had a little balcony which was an unexpected bonus. The room seemed recently updated. We were surprised at the quality of the room for the price. We would stay here again.

Great Choice!!
I was a little worried initially, but I had nothing to worry about. The hotel is literally right around the corner from a busy train station, and in a part of town where fast food, money exchange and quiet restaurants are all around. DIRECTLY across the street is one of the cheapest supermarkets i have ever seen with amazing food!! Unfortunately the hotel does not have a refrigerator or microwave so we could only purchase food that wouldnt go bad or that we planned on eating that evening. The staff were very helpfully and friendly, always ready with a cheery good morning or good night. The room was initially a bit small for my taste but to compensate we had an adorable little patio that completely made me forget about the size. We only asked for them to clean our room 3 times during our 7 day stay due to us sleeping in, but the job done was impeccable and by the 2nd time the maid even knew whose pajamas went where! Overall it was fantastic and was an amazing home for us for 7 days.
