Aweful experience. Dirty room, dirty bathroom, blood stains. The room is smilly, dusty, and looks like it was not taken care of for a very long time. I believe this hotel should not be allowed to operate because of how dirty it is. Strongly discourage people from booking here. Didn't even stay the full duration of my booking because of how aweful the condtion of the room was. Avoid!!!

The staff were friendly and it is a 15 minute walk to town the west end which is great. Should be advertised as a hostel - basic, not as clean as could be but fine for a place to put your head down for the nigh.

I don't get it, there must be five hundred hotels like this in London, it's sort of a British specialty, skinny mattresses with protruding springs, dingy, not well cleaned, crooked doors with loose hinges, laminate flooring that looks like it was second hand when it was installed, lime scale encrusted sinks and showers and no consideration for grace or comfort at all. I wish that the people who owned these hotels, who obviously make a lot of money (I paid $300 for one night) had the desire to make the world a more beautiful place, instead of creating what is essentially a rentable slum. My room, for example, didn't even have a bed side table or reading lamp. There was literally nowhere to put my clothes, it was just a bed in a room with a weird shower unit in the corner. The only positive was the friendly staff. Would I go here again? Sadly, yes, because most of the less expensive hotels in london are just as bad -- shame on the landlords. They could easily make them nicer without incurring huge expenses but they simply don't care.

Convenient 10-15min walk to St Pancras station to catch trains. 20-25mins to Soho. Nice area. Rooms were a bit dingy and minimal, but one gets what they paid for. Just needed a convenient location to catch a train to Europe, so served its purpose

Clean towels and bedding, 2 mins away from Russel Station tube and area hotel in was lovely are the only good things. Unsuite was well lets say you couldn't move in it more like a cupboard, no where to hang any peice of clothing, no tea or coffee making facilities what hotel doesn't proved the basics budget or not. Needs alot of tlc as they clearly have not looked after the properly in places.

Very basic hotel. Facilities basically fine. If staying on a weekend, be prepared for loud drunks coming back in the early hours, shouting in the corridors, slamming doors, etc. Won't stay again.

Very basic hotel, they provide nothing but a sheet and blanket and towel, that is it. Room was dirty when arrived and was never cleaned over a 7 day stay, carpet was so filthy I didnt want to put my bags on floor or walk inside room without shoes. Found a caterpillar stuck to the walls of my room, could tell it had been there for a very long time. Bathrooms equally horrid as were corridors. They need to not be so greedy with profits and try to put a little bit of profits into making the place livable. Minimal decor made it look like a prison cell. They only have 1 member of staff working at any time (odd) and he was not particularly helpful. Even writing this review makes me shutter with disgust!
