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

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

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.

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.

Location and price are excellent. Staircase is dirty. Building is old. Cracks on the walls everywhere. Needs proper refurbishment. They don't even bother to clean the window. Bed quality is poor. A bit of oil on door hinges is not costly but helps you not to wake up the whole neighborhood by opening the bathroom door. Luckily we arrived late for sleeping only and I couldn't wait to get out earliest in the morning

Arrived at hotel to find it shut with a repossesion notice on the door. Phoned mobile number on the door to be redirected to another hotel. Staff were lovely but clearly struggling with it all. Standard of room was average and shower was so small i couldnt turn round in it. Only saving factor was a very reasonable price for a Lindon hotel.
