Cheap hotel in a great location. Blocks away from tube stop and British museum. Clean room, nice bathroom. Very small bedroom (smaller than pics depict, but not too bad). Overall a good stay, staff were really polite. WiFi was broken for 2 nights which was very frustrating. Check out was at 11:00am, and if you want to keep bags later in the day, they charge you something like 5 pounds per bag, per hour.

It was a bed to sleep in. Decent location. For the most part, the staff was rude and unhelpful. Rooms were quite unpleasant and if you're staying on the top floor, there's barely a wifi signal, if any at all. I was here on business so that made it very difficult and they didn't seem to care at all. Maybe if you only stay there for one night it would be okay but for as much as I paid I was very dissatisfied with the service and the overall experience.

Excellent location, very central. The hotel is very run down, the rooms could do with being freshened up. The bathroom ceiling was ready to fall in from the room above. The hotel decor is very dated which is a shame as it could be lovely. The price is based on location and not on hotel experience

The location is excellent right in the centre and 1 minute away from the underground and Oxford Street. It is more like a guest house, not one of those hotels with hundreds of rooms so it felt quite like a home The room was tiny and the double bed was not really a double bed but a 1.5 bed. One side was pushed against a wall meaning only one person had a bedside table and the person on the inside had to crawl over the other person to get to the loo in the middle of the night. The room door, bathroom door and wardrobe door all opened on the same square foot in the room making it impossible for someone to come out of the bathroom while the other was getting something out of the wardrobe

The friendliness of the staff (with one exception) was second to none - they helped make it a very pleasant stay The hotel rooms were very small and the service obtained during a problem with a broken shower was sub-standard for the price - when informed that a shower has broken and flooded a bathroom it shouldn't take a visit to reception and 2 phonecalls to get someone to come to the room. I then wouldn't expect the staff to have no idea what to do about it and have to make suggestions myself as to how it can be resolved! Breakfast-time was chaos. Proximity to smoking rooms meant that the corridor had a permanent smell of stale smoke which was most unpleasant to walk through
