To be honest, you get what you pay for. This is the cheapest hotel in this area, the are is incredible, so overall good value for money. You get a bed, a toilet, and a towel, do not expect more and you’ll be fine.

It’s a budget hotel. Don’t expect anything flashy here. It is a solid place and I will book here again. I travel for work and like to keep my expenditures low. The Gresham Annex was perfectly acceptable for the price.

This hotel is within walking distance of King's Cross Station (although not perfect if you have a heavy suitcase). There are places nearby for food including a McDonalds. There was a wash basin in the room but there looked to be broken glass or something between the edge of the wash basin and the wall which had not been cleared away. The receptionist was friendly.

This was the worst hotel, if you can call it that, by far. There was no lift and very steep stairs to carry luggage. The room was very filthy from the carpet to the walls, there was no working tv, the beds were very uncomfortable just sitting on them. Really disappointed and disgusted. False advertisement as the room looks nothing like the picture on the advertisement. Mom and I stayed for less than 5 minutes and had to book a hotel nearby right away. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

The hotel is in a very convenient location near Tottenham Court Road station with many shops. The room was quite hot in the night. Mattress could have been a bit comfier but there was sufficient space for a single bed as a budget hotel location. Check-in and check-out processes were quick and easy.

Great location 24 hour check in service - but the room was actually scary to stay in and was like being in a time warp I can’t believe in central London they still even exist but for £60 for all three of us I don’t consider that I can expect anything less. Also the man on the reception was really lovely just a very strange experience!!

It was okay. The host wasn’t able to tell us anything about sight seeing in the area. But it was fine. Lots of stairs but I think that’s the norm in Amsterdam.

Although the hotel is at the cheaper end of the market, the whole experience was unpleasant. The staff are slovenly and unfriendly; the room was extremely basic. We booked for two nights but left an hour after check-in due to the conditions and booked ourselves in a better hotel at the same price.

Would have been nice to have some air conditioning since the room was very hot. Conveniently located close to euston station and tottenham court road station. Floorboards a bit creaky, and the room could have been a bit cleaner. The front-desk staff were friendly.

The Gresham is inexpensive and the room is basic. On a summer morning it matters that there are no curtains. Nice staff.

Poorly maintained only had 1 curtain, cobwebs everywhere, toilet seat didn't fit, shower was temp wrong, no tea coffee facilities or even a plastic cup, gap under door you could hear everyone come and go. The only plus side was location so close to Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road underground. Would i stay again yes but only for location.
Very thin shower bathroom

Cheap and great location but not the nicest hotel.

This is a no thrills hotel but it was cheap and in a great location. 24 hr check in was also great as I booked the hotel very last minute at 11:30pm and checking in was no issue. The shared bathrooms did the job but were not the nicest or cleanest bathrooms. The room itself was nothing luxurious in the slightest and left a lot to be desired but it did the job. I can’t complain for the price as the price does rightly reflect the product I feel.
