Basic but a good price. Comfy beds after a day out

It was central and about a 10 minute walk to Holborn or Russell Sq tubes. The beds were nice and comfy. We had a lovely powerful shower. The hotel could do with some tlc but for the price we paid it was fine. The guy on reception on the annexe was super helpful

Great little hotel in central London. As other people mention it’s not quite the ritz , but it’s very good for the price. A little run down, but if you are spending your day out in London you won’t really mind. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.
