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.

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).

Overnight stay as was going to the theatre

A cheap hotel is affordable for where the location is, but the room explains the hotel's price was ok for an overnight stay 6/10. If your budget is low, then this is perfect. It is a 10 min walk to Leicester Square, plenty of pubs and restaurants,

simple and recommendable for a short city trip

I've already been to this hotel and again, everything was fine. The room, linen and towels were clean and everything worked well. It's not a luxury hotel but perfect for those who just need a simple accommodation in the centre of London. The simple furniture is perfect for solo travellers who don't have a lot of luggage and for just one or a few nights having a private bathroom is not really important. Most of all, I like the location. It's within walking distances from Bloomsbury campus of University of London, next to British Museum, 5 min walk away from next Sainsbury, Tottenham Court Rd, 10 min walking distance from Russell Square or Holborn, 15 min walking to Euston Station.

perfect for a short stay in the centre of London

As an international student I often commute to London for further education reasons, so Bloomsbury is the ideal location for a short stay. For solo travellers like me, who just need a basic accommodation without any extras, this hotel serves the purpose of my needs and I don't hesitate to book it again. I liked the house and its retro style of the furniture. Everything worked well, lavatory in the room and public telephone in the corridor. Linen and towels were clean. For a low budget this hotel offers everything you need for a short stay.

Awful. Cheap but not worth it

Dirty, small and lacking in comfort. Really the worst hotel room I've ever had. Dust and dirt everywhere (including huge fingernails, bits of plasticn packaging on the floor) Do not recommend, would not use again

Slum hotel room

This hotel was a slum. There is extensive mold in the bathroom. There must be mold in the room as well as I having significant breathing problems. The curtains were ripped and in taters. One of the doors on the cabinet was missing, there was no cover on bed either. The room was dirty and not properly cleaned. Never stay here.
