Satisfied stay

Handy place and comfy small room. Unfortunately the glass shelves and kettle in the room were super dusty and ruined the overall super professional and clean image the hotel was aiming for

Gem of a hotel!

Lovely hotel! Just half a mile from shops, restaurants and theatres. Little details thought of in the Room like a USB-C/iPhone charging lead, recycling options, floor-standing fan, a couple of different mirrors and a few lighting options. Continental breakfast nice. Staff professional.

Very small room

The room was very small—not even enough space to open up my suitcase. This is an ok option for solo travel, but I wouldn’t recommend to have multiple people stay together. The room was also very warm during the summer—the small fan on the side table was a saving grace.

Direct, low price for basic stay in central London. Clean, quite and even a respectable continental breakfast. Highly recommended for low budget or if you just like to spend a night.

Gorgeous

I'm glad I got to the breakfast room early, as advised. I couldn't find any saucers or eggcups, but it was all part of the fun! The bed was very comfortable. I slept very well. Having read comments about a lack of air con, I was delighted to have cool air from the built-in fan on such a warm night.

Lovey hotel. Great location near Tottenham Court Rd. Pubs, restaurants, transport close by. Breakfast was fine for us - cereal, toast, fruit, yoghurt, boiled eggs, pastries. We were on the third floor with no lift, so a bit of a struggle but we managed.

Mousetraps visible in hallway had me lying awake almost all night! We arrived early and guy on reception was not particularly friendly welcoming or helpful gave us stickers to put on some of our luggage and told us to come back at 3pm. Shower really difficult to use due to setting and inability to change water direction. A pity as the actual room was well done and hotel is in a great position

We got the room that was the farthest down, and had no help carrying our bags to the very bottom of that basement. We did like the breakfast but the room felt claustrophobic and had a weird smell.

This hotel needs help

This one of the worst hotels i have stayed in,1) bathroom so small 2) Room for grown-up adults very small 3) Metal bars on the windows so if there is a fire in the basement you have no hope of getting out.4) Staff need help to be friendly and unstand what you want. 5).This hotel is not value for money.
