Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel was okay. It was a nice area and close to restaurants and the tube. As a solo traveller I didn’t like that the staff kept announcing everyone’s room number. Also, besides the manager and the amazing breakfast staff, the hotel staff seemed generally irritated at my presence — It seemed like it was such an inconvenience to talk to me every time.

Small rooms, but was expecting that. Breakfast was good and nice to have. The closet door which was the bathroom door could be updated. A little loud at points due to the many doors in the hallways. Good value, and a great location. Near 2 tube stops, some restaurants and convenience stores nearby.

Place was okay. Found a roach in my bed that they got rid of. Staff was nice but all foreign and speaking loud at night. I could hear them through the window. Area is good but I wouldn’t stay here again. Cheap budget hotel.

Had difficulty getting to bathroom as there was a small gap between bed and wall I had to squeeze through. The room was L shaped. Cramp. Clean room, good location. But would not recommend. Was disappointed.
Single room. Bathroom is right hand side of window, accessed by this small gap between bed and wall.

We were in the basement family room with a fire exit door in the bathroom. Around 4:30AM, someone broke in through the fire exit door and stole all four phones, my husband’s wallet, his watch, and my daughter’s AirPods. This was all while we were sleeping in the room.

We enjoyed our stay at The Princes Square Hotel, the rooms were a good size for a 2 night stay. They had all we need. The staff were limited with conversation and the night could be a bit loud with doors banging as they don’t shut quietly. Overall we had a good stay and would return if needed to stay in that part of London.

Originally assigned to a subterranean level room, which was not agreeable. But staff upgraded us the next night to an upper floor at no additional charge, which was much appreciated. Nice hotel and location. Just be sure to confirm room location beforehand.

The staff was super friendly, the bathroom was newly renovated, although i can hear construction noises first thing in the morning and the walls are thin and I can hear my neighbors. Location is amazing though, so i highly recommend this hotel.

The Princes Square Hotel is a non-descript quaint English hotel on a quiet winding street, It is a short walking distance to two Tube lines and buses located on a lively street filled with restaurants and grocery stores . Twenty-four hour front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfasts offer a buffet of breads, juices, cold cereals and a self-serve coffee/cappuccino machine; along with a menu of cooked breakfasts. My room for one was small but contained everything I needed for a very comfortable stay (though I did have to have my midnight snacks in bed.). I highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
