Very budget hotel but excellent location and good value for money. Yes hotel is dated and very minimal but it felt pretty clean, friendly staff and had everything we needed. For the price this was very good value. Showers were super basic, mattress very old and dated but overall we had an okay stay.

Didn't even make it to this hotel. Was told "issue with room I send you to my better hotel". I dread to think what this one was like based off the "better!!" Missing carpet, small tv with no remote, 1 out of 3 beds broken, stained bedding, 1 light not working, the list goes on and on....

Staff were helpful, but room was very basic. It was too warm, the beds weren't comfy, the TV had neither any input connected nor a remote control, the door instructions said to "Dial 0 in an emergency" but there was no phone to do so. The toilet and shower rooms were separate rooms down the corridor and shared with other rooms. Toilet room didn't have a sink, but room did, so you'd go to the toilet and then come back to your bedroom to wash your hands. There were only one double plug socket in our triple-bed room, and it was not near any of the beds. Hotel had WiFi but we were on the top floor and the WiFi didn't reach that far (not that we were given the password for it anyway). My phone got pretty poor reception inside the room, as well, so once inside the room we were kind of out of touch with the world. One of the panes of glass in the window was cracked. Think of this as more of a hostel than a hotel, and you might be alright. Location was decent (5 mins from British Museum). Staff were friendly and helpful (e.g. lent us an umbrella to go wandering). We paid 105 pounds for one night (a Saturday in December 2025) for the basic 'twin' room that was actually a triple room. Oh, and when we arrived at 3.05pm (check-in time was supposed to be 3pm) the room wasn't ready, so we went away and came back around 4.40pm and the room STILL wasn't ready, leaving us to wait in Reception until it was finally done. Gets a second star for the location and helpful staff.

Booked this hotel purely for its central location and for the price I paid I cannot complain. Yes, it's shabby, the decor is dated and the less said about the shared facilities the better. However, staff at reception were friendly, sink in the room and bedlinen was clean. Bring earplugs, there's a generator at the back of the property that runs all night.
