Fine for a Budget Break

Well it has to be said, much of the hotel needs a refurbishment. The reception area is fine as it is, but the guest rooms and bathrooms need updating. As it was a last-minute booking, I opted for a single room without bathroom so had to use the separate bathroom nextdoor. The room itself was adequate and the hotel in general very quiet. The most noise came from my very creaky bed frame, which combined with a slanting mattress, disturbed my sleep somewhat. As for the bathrooms, laminate flooring in a shower isn't the best idea, and the wood is on its way out. But the water for the shower was lovely and hot. Overall, for a London break on a budget, the Gresham does the job. But it does need a touch-up.

The property is outdated, needs renovation and upgrades to modern facilities. The carpet looks so old and dirty Windows and windows seals were so dusty and dirty, rooms were so stuffy. The property needs total upgrading.

Basic and economical

I booked for one night. The position is excellent. The staff were helpful and pleasant. The room was basic and a bit tired but fine for £50.

We checked in and checked out 2 hours later after we found a much better hotel. The total money was forefeit but it was good for ourselves. The hotel is not liveable and it is simply horrible plus terrible. We should ask the homeless people to live inside for two nights instead of in the cold streets.

Beautiful entrance, deceiving interior

The shower drain had no protection, several rats can come out of there the noise from the bathroom exhaust fan sounded like a tractor I paid for a room with a double bed and the receptionist said that they only had one with two single beds, so she said that I could check out at 12pm. the two mattresses looked like a rusty trampoline

I was shocked when I opened the door. It was a total disaster. The room has just vacated by the look of it as linens and towels on the floor and no wifi in the annexe where I was transferred.

basic standard, centrally located

My room in this centrally located hotel was clean and the check-in was easily done. I regularly travel to London and I've previously stayed in this hotel before. I recommend this to solo short term travellers who just need a basic accommodation within the city's centre. For just a night I don't need any luxury, shared bathroom is ok and clean towels are always provided.

We stayed here 1 night as going to see a show. Hotel is very basic and needs a refurbishment. Beds not very comfortable. Bed linen and towels were clean. hotel was ok for 1 night however I would not stay more than that. Location is great if you are going to a show, about 5 min walk to nearest tube station (Tottenham court road).
