You get what you pay for. The beds were clean and comfortable, the decor is dated and the buildings have a musty smell. The staff were polite and helpful. Breakfast was interesting and certainly not a continental but toast and cereal was available. The area for eating was very cramped and small but tables were cleared quickly and efficiently. Location is very central and very quiet. I would stay again due to the cost and the comfortable beds of the beds.

It's very dirty and the quality of the interior is old looking. We also found dirty male underwear in the wardrobe. We booked this hotel last minute as we needed to go to a party and didn't want to stay awake till 5am. I wouldn't recommend it for more than one night. Breakfast was very basic and served in bowels that looked dirty.

Desk clerk was rude about my not understanding his confusing instructions. WiFi not included in price but available for an extra charge. Room was dirty. Area behind toilet looked worse than any single guy bathroom. Photos are deceivingly nicer than the rundown, dirty room.

Room was dark and dingy. There was an empty coke bottle in the bed. The shower drain overflowed into the room. The WiFi we had to pay for (£2.50 per day per device) was terrible and intermittent at best.

Decent price, great location, good service

Its a decent hotel at quite center of london. For a decent price. Much better than staying at the airBnB or hostels. Its close to chancery lane tube station and has plenty restaurants nearby. The breakfast is okayish but the hosts are very hospitable.

Just start by booking 1 night, and then reassess

It is passable, I suppose. They charge you for poor quality wifi. The breakfast is stale cereal and bread, instant coffee or tea, and juice. It isn't really worthwhile but I suppose it is something. They have a 36 hour cancellation policy, presumably instituted because so many people wanted to cancel immediately after arrival.

The hotel was basic, very old fashioned, my room was definitely in need of refurbishment, the curtains didn’t close properly, Noticed some fire doors were perminatly propped open. Unsafe for guests. Excellent helpful staff, very clean bed linen and white towels, comfortable bed but NO mattress or pillow protectors on bed. Had to go 2 doors down for reception and breakfast! NOT sure on security in hotel I stayed at only secure card entrance, internet had said 24 hours security, there were some cameras, SO presume they covered both Hotels ! Even though I once went to reception and there was no one there watching these cameras. OVERALL A VERY GOOD CHEAP HOTEL IN LONDON 😊

Better then reviews suggested

Really only needed a base for one night, it was good for that reason....was warm, quiet, clean....small room, small bathroom...but everything was there for you to use....WiFi is extra....breakfast, although included, not up to much, cereal & toast only.... Was allowed to check in at 11.30, that was a big bonus....

Catherine

Disliked: Amenities
I didn’t like having to go to one building and sleeping in another building where there was no 24 hour reception. I was put on 4 flight of stairs with no lifts. The place is a very old house that needs to be demolished. I felt unsafe while I was there. I left at 4:30 in the morning and had no breakfast. I believe that Camden borough should shut that place down as it seems to be more of a health hazard. I feel that I should get a refund for what I had. Would never go there again.
