The perfect place for the traveler who wants NO amenities, hot water or soap. If you are looking for a cheerless, dingy and stained room without any redeeming qualities, this is your place! Uncomfortable beds, stuffy and plently of street noise rounds out your experience at the Gresham Hotel!

It’s a cheap room in central London within walking distance to all the landmarks. You pay 4 times the price everywhere else. If it’s somewhere to just sleep you’ve chose the right place x

No kettle or tea/coffee in room. 1st floor is very noisy being so close to the street, have to keep curtains closed as double decker buses can see through! Walls are a little thin and could hear the neighbours next door during the night. Everything else was comfy and cozy, perfect for the 2 night stay I had and super close to Tottenham court road and other shopping areas. Would recommend if you need something basic and comfortable but don't expect the ritz!

I had no hot water during my stay and they refused to give me a refund. Also the room was falling apart, old and not looked after and dirty! This place should not be operating.
The other side of the room is even worse

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.

Great location- British Museum to the left Oxford St to the right. Ok as a bed for the night but hotel probably hasnt had a facelift since 1965. Tv didnt work, turn on taps in the sink and watch water trickle out. Basic is as basic found.
