Guest Reviews
- Safraz (7/5): - Great location. It was adequate for a one night stay as a solo traveller
- Lianne (8/5): Would definitely book again - The guys on reception were extremely welcoming and helpful although small the shower was amazing the bed was clean and the price was very good No controls for the TV in the room and would have loved to be able to make a cup of tea
- Blair (1/5): - Nothing! Everything!
- Mohammad Shan (1/5): Please don’t book - stains everywhere - Staff told me I had the cleanest room in the hotel 🤣 (look at my pictures I’ve uploaded) Door had no working lock
Floor was wet when I entered the room
There’s a toxic smell in the halls
Stains everywhere
Staff dismissed all issues
DID NOT GET A REFUND
- Jordan (1/5): Abysmal. Could not even spend the night, had to book other lodgings because I couldn’t charge device - The location Everything else. No outlets in the room except one halfway up the wall near the ceiling, was not informed of any WiFi and no obvious WiFi to connect to, no AC, beds were rickety wire cots; one was broken and mended with a wooden plank. Room was generally dilapidated. Shared bathroom for some rooms. No lift. Window wouldn’t stay open.
- hassan (1/5): Disappointing - The staff The room is very disappointing
- Sean (2/5): -
- Husnara (6/5): -
- Alfie (1/5): -
- Kieran (8/5): A good value for money land perfectly located choice for the museum! - Perfect location, good value for money, private bathroom/shower Dust on top of cupboards, radiator jammed on
- Ana (1/5): -
- Chadwick (9/5): Very fair price - Good sized double room with a large bathroom and large shower cubicle. Wardrobe and desk. TV and bedside tables. Staff were lovely also helpful. Warren was super. Thank you I would have liked to have a kettle and a couple of cups.
Some springs were raised in the mattress.
The top of the boxed in pipes (where the toilet roll was) in the bathroom had other people's hair on them.
No bath mat.
No valve to adjust the temperature on the radiator. All simple things that will make this room perfect without breaking the bank.

- celine (6/5): Ne vaut pas le prix payé 😥 - Jolie rue et façade extérieure, parc avec écureuil à deux pas , station de métro russel square également à deux pas. Nous avions une chambre en sous sol , très basique. Sensation bizarre d'être en sous sol comme à la cave. Vieux mobilier , mur dégradé, peinture à rafraîchir . . Bof ne donnait pas envie de s'attarder dans la chambre.
Étonnée par la SDB , je m'attendais à la voir dans le même état que la chambre mais un effort a été fait .
- Xiaoning (7/5): - It is loctated next to Russell Square park. Very central and convenient. It's good value for money. Shared toilet and showerroom. The mattress is very old.
- Sean (1/5): -
- Iuliia (7/5): Good choice to spend the nights and with convenient transport accessibility. - Great location, close to the British Museum, with good public transportation links. Bus and metro access available. Friendly and helpful staff. Overall, the hotel met my expectations. The furniture and room decor are very tired. The window is cracked, the shower handle is falling off, etc. The Wi-Fi in the basement is poor, so we had to go up to the first floor.
- Sami (1/5): -
- Sylvie (2/5): - Son emplacement à côté de la gare
Calme Miteux! Cet « hôtel » mérite un rafraîchissement d’urgence, nous avions une chambre au rez de chaussée et étions juste de passage pour être plus près de la gare.
La literie est catastrophique ( matelas tout mou et à bout de souffle à travers lequel on sent tous les ressorts)
La salle de bain est très petite et le robinet de l’évier coule en permanence
La propreté de la chambre laissait a désirer et tout était très vieillot
- Jane (1/5): Filthy, safety hazardous stairs - disgusting. - Nothing Absolutely filthy- was put in basement which has a dangerous staircase with no handrail at the top. Am disabled and asked for a groundfloor room which was ignored. Room was not cleaned on arrival plus bathroom was filthy and had toe nail clippings stuck in the floor mat.

- ABDALRAHMAN (1/5): -
- Miklos (2/5): It was dirty after I had requested it to be cleaned!!! I had to bleach the toilet myself. -
- Hamzah (1/5): -
- Kenneth (1/5): -
- Vaughn (5/5): Overpriced and disappointing - Room was very large. They went to some effort to keep rooms clean ... But then, bizarrely, left dirty washing strewn about the stairs. Overpriced. Clearly needs maintenance; cold tap didn't work, (shared) toilet door didn't close properly, curtains falling off, etc.
- Shuyi (10/5): Good -
- Shapua (5/5): -
- Marisol (8/5): - ubicacion es excelente mucho ruido
- Anuradha (1/5): I spent the night because I had to - The place is comfortable Facilities are poor
No soap, no kettle to make a tea
- sabrina (8/5): -
- Kristina (3/5): - Hormis le personnel, c’était dégoûtant
- Dane (1/5): - De ligging De prijs kwaliteit verhouding.
Wij hebben hier best een prijs voor betaald.
€ 228 voor 1 nacht.
We kregen een kamer met 2 bedden daar is ook alles mee gezegt😅.
De bedden zelf waren ook verschrikkelijk.
Zie de foto's wij waren enrom teleurgesteld met dit hotel voor deze prijs.
Dit kan echt niet!!!

- Jennifer (1/5): last resort hotel - decent location unsanitary, the doors were so loud I heard whenever someone went to the bathroom, mold on the walls/ceiling/windowsill, one tap didn't work, the door was broken (I tried using a hairband to secure the lock out of pure paranoia), room was hot and stuffy.
- ross (7/5): Good location. - Good location. Shower a bit cramped.
- Maria (1/5): Mal muy mal - Las instalaciones del año de Jesús, la habitación horrorosa, sucia, sábanas oliendo mal, cojín con lamparones de mierda, pasas un frío por las noches que te levantas congelados, la moqueta no la limpian desde hace un siglo, telarañas, mucho polvo, el bater sucio,

- Christopher (7/5): very pleasant - The location of the hotel is fantastic. The hotel itself is basic but clean. Staff friendly. Great value for London.
- Mauro (6/5): -
- Mohamed (3/5): -
- Tamara (4/5): - Die Lage war super zentral, das Personal auch sehr nett. Das war’s dann aber auch Zuerst hatten wir ein Zimmer im Keller, da sich allerdings die Heizung nicht abschalten ließ und das Zimmer knapp 30 Grad hatte, haben wir nach einem anderen Zimmer gefragt. Wir wurden dann im 3. Stock untergebracht. Beide Zimmer waren weder gesaugt, noch wirklich geputzt. Die Badezimmer waren schimmelig, die Lüftungen waren schwarz. Die Türen der Zimmer ließen sich nicht abschließen. Im Kamin des Zimmers stand eine Klebefalle für Mäuse und auch vor unserem Zimmer stand Rattengift in schwarzen Behältern. Das komplette Zimmer im 3. Stock war schief, der Boden knarrte bei jedem Schritt und das Fenster war undicht, es zog komplett rein. Es wurden Badetücher zur Verfügung gestellt, jedoch keine Handtücher. Die Badetücher waren voll mit schwarzen Haaren.

- Eljo (10/5): -
- Isam (2/5): It was terrible and we paid extrq to get better riom as it was not clean and too old - Location Room size and bathroom
- Patrick (2/5): - Dreckige, kaputte Zimmer, keine Steckdose,
- Edward (10/5): One word unbelievable! - I’m a builder I need a bed for the night and privacy for the price paid this hotel is a bargain….. it is the most unique premises I’ve ever stayed in. I’m giving it a massive good review because the staff the guy on reception is brilliant… he pointed out to me that he was aware of the premises failing but such a beautiful old unique building has to be taken for what it is …… the facilities worked for me and I haven’t stopped laughing since I’ve stayed there I walked out the next morning smiling that’s all I can say …. It’s unbelievable uniqueness has actually made me a return customer The madness of the place… absolutely unbelievable uniqueness and the reception is a gem
- Paul (10/5): -
- anthony (2/5): déçu cela ne correspondait pas vraiment a l'annonce - l'emplacement robinet de salle de bain qui fuit chasse d'eau qui ne fonctionne pas, les photos de correspondent pas a la réalité les lits sont inconfortable on dors sur des ressorts chambre pas propre et beaucoup de bruit
- Floriano (5/5): veloce - la posizione la pulizia
- Priyanga (7/5): Peaceful and effective short stay! - It was indeed a peaceful stay. Good price for two nights. The location was convenient, as I walked to the destination. Restaurants, supermarkets and all the other amenities are around the hotel. Staff (Amal and Varun) are helpful and understanding. Great location in central London. I have a suggestion for its improvement. The washrooms are clean, but they need to be a bit more modernized and require some minor adjustments.
- M. Alina (2/5): - The person on the phone very friendly Ammal his name . The hotel is very dirty ,needs refurbishment and deep cleaning.
Even if is £55 per night in london ,for this money at least to be clean and to smell fresh .this needs to get improved.
- Andy (8/5): Calidad precio y por la ubicación está bastante bien -
- weary_traveller (10/5): - You can't beat the location, 10-15 minute walk from the Euston station and 15 minute walk to Covent Garden is super comfortable! The bed was comfortable enough to pass the night. No hot water (or warm to be honest) in the bathroom tap or shower.
- Maria (5/5): Ok for one night stay only - The location and the staff guy was really nice and let me do a late check out for free. Its really outdated and dirty, and felt lil unsafe there. Mold and other stuff in bathroom, sheets and towels had some stains.
- Maria (8/5): -
- Nash (5/5): -
- Phillip (7/5): Great price and location, very comfortable and friendly staff room needs a little maintenance doing but well worth a sta - Great location and amazing price , very large and comfortable room and beds.
we had a balcony as well which was nice .
Staff were lovely and friendly Bathroom and shower were very small and it needed some maintenance doing but for the price you can’t complain
- Gómez (5/5): - La distancia al centro, en solo 20 minutos caminando estás allí en picadilly. Que no lo limpian ni lo aspiran y es bastante asqueroso.
- Gökhan (1/5): 2 kuruş fazla ödeyin, başka yerde kalın. ben sizin yerinize tecrübe ettim. - konumu güzel, personeli güleryüzlü ve yardımsever. her yer pislik içinde. oda kesinlikle temizlenmemiş.yatacağınız yatağın örtüleri en az 20 yıllık, sararmış. normalde çok uğraşmam ama bu kadar kötüsünü görmemiştim. o kadar kötüydü ki, üstümü örtmemek için montla yattım. yenisini istediğimde yeni aldığım da sarı idi.
yerler pislik içinde, duvarlarda sinek lekeleri var. tuvaleti anlatmıyorum bile.

- Maria (6/5): -
- Zalawadia (7/5): -
- Jonathan (2/5): - Location and it had WiFi in the room. Heavy Dirty, ensuite shower squirts water and some what warm and dirty. Outside communal shower cleaner but shower broken. Beds uncomfortable, dead insects under the bed, so this means they don't clean. We had the pleasure of the company of a mice at night time. Stairs leading to the top floor has not seen a broom or a map in a few months. TV works but no channels available plus no remote. 1 socket in the entire room. No kettle.
- Jack (10/5): I was happy - Cheap and cheerful No tea making facilities
- poole (1/5): -
- Ryan (5/5): Location was perfect but if you are expecting the shard then think again. - Location was ideal Dated, not the cleanest, booked a shared bathroom by mistake and couldn’t upgrade.
- Hafeez Hussain (1/5): - The price what I paid in very high
Rooms are NO good at all
Bed is very uncomfortable
Toilet seat damaged and on floor
Couldn't hang cloths NO hangers I couldn't sleep enough because of bed uncomfortable
- Khalid (1/5): Rat-infested, dirty and unsafe hotel - There were rats/mice in the rooms, another guest also had a rat in their room. Rodent bait traps placed around the rooms, which says a lot.
The hotel is dirty, run-down and poorly maintained. Beds and linens were unclean, there were holes and garbage under the beds and along the walls, and the overall hygiene was very poor.
Staff were unhelpful and dismissive, and handling of the situation was inadequate. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I felt unwell after my stay.
- ricky (3/5): Stinky but cheap - I paid £50 for a double bed in central London so that basically tells you all you need to know. The room smelled like someone had smoked cigars in there for 20 years and the weird shower box in the room wasn’t worth the cost to install because it was more efficient to wash yourself with the sink than the ‘shower’. But the location and the price combined make sense so I’ll probably stay there again because it’s cheap and close to my work. The smell the shower the bed
