Location, location, location....!!!

Location, location, location... 5 minutes walk from Piccadilly Circus Tube Station. The staff were very friendly. The decor is tired, but the room/bed were clean and tidy. For the price and location this is a no brainer good place to stay if you are not fussy/ don't need frills... I was solo traveling. Perfect for the theatres....

Stay away from this place! It’s central and not expensive for London but it’s the worst place I’ve ever seen, to the extent that I had to leave due to the poor condition the room was in, dirty, extremely poorly maintained, paper-thin mattress and a stench of dampness that I thought was potentially dangerous for my health. It just didn’t feel right and I had to leave. My original room was not available because someone had broken the bed’ and they said that the new room in a completely different hotel and building was ‘an upgrade’. Funny if it wasn’t tragic. Hotels com refused to give me a refund even though I checked out within 5 mins. Terrible

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

The room bearer no resemblance to the picture on the website, it was a damp basement with furniture on the brink of collapse - like something from a developing country. It was so terrible we decided not to stay there. I asked for my money back. Both the hotel and Hotel.com have promised a reply. I have heard from neither in three weeks.

The location is great, but the carpet is very dirty and unappealing. Given the low price, I only expect a clean carpet and bedding—nothing more. Hopeful they would invest some money in carpet cleaning or in new carpet.

Apart from a shower that couldn’t be used as it was scalding whichever way the control was turned and tv remote that didn’t work or the mattress that was so thin you could feel every spring in it; it was great!

This was the worst hotel, if you can call it that, by far. There was no lift and very steep stairs to carry luggage. The room was very filthy from the carpet to the walls, there was no working tv, the beds were very uncomfortable just sitting on them. Really disappointed and disgusted. False advertisement as the room looks nothing like the picture on the advertisement. Mom and I stayed for less than 5 minutes and had to book a hotel nearby right away. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

To be honest, you get what you pay for. This is the cheapest hotel in this area, the are is incredible, so overall good value for money. You get a bed, a toilet, and a towel, do not expect more and you’ll be fine.
