The hotel was in a great location, this was the only positive. The hotel was in need of huge renovation, it was dirty and smelt musty. The shower we wouldn't use and the bed was tiny with just a small cover and sheet. We were freezing all night. We spent as little time there as possible. Out of the two staff we met on the desk one was pleasant the other very rude. I would not stay again or recommend to anyone

I don’t know why this hotel has such a low score it’s a budget hotel in prime location! If you pay cheap don’t expect the Hilton! This hotel does exactly as it offers a budget stay in an excellent location. The bedding/bed are clean the staff are friendly and helpful. I’m disabled I rang up before booking and asked could they locate me on the ground floor and they were very accommodating helping me to the room. If you want Hilton 5 star standard then book the Hilton and pay there crazy prices! This hotel is perfect as a budget friendly option! I’ve stayed in far worse hotels in London. I will be returning

Good value budget hotel in a great location. I’ve stayed in a few similar hotels in the same area and Elmwood is the best to date. Reception staff were polite and friendly. Check in was straight forward and a minor problem was sorted quickly with no fuss. My single room was clean and had all the expected basic amenities. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was in good working order. I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable budget hotel in the Kings X area. If expectations are consistent with the price paid, then the hotel is perfect for a short stay as a base to explore London. I would definitely stay again at a similar price per night.
