Simple room , no view, no TV. If you're in London why watch TV ? Free WiFi in basement (and TV) . Room Lighting was harsh and no reading lights by the bed - all sockets (aplenty) on far wall so two cheap torches from Tesco and problem solved. First night WC extractor fan roared noisily all night. Only after... More

We have just returned from our second stay (10th/15th September) at the LSE Grosvenor House Studios. We chose it for its central location, 3 minutes walk to Covent Garden. The choice of entertainment is great, from theatres, opera and cinemas with even the vast imax all within walking distance and I am one of the golden oldies. Drury Lane is... More

Grosvenor House isn’t a ‘normal’ hotel but serves mainly as the dorm / hall of residence for the students of nearby LSE University. Out of term they make some of their rooms available to the general public. The location is simply excellent: If you are a student at LSE staying at Grosvenor House you will be at your respective lecture... More

We stayed at LSE Grosvenor house for one night whilst in London for the Olympics. £76 B&B right around the corner from Covent Garden is pretty good value anytime but during the Olympics it was fantastic value. We arrived late (I called ahead to say we would be checking in very late in the evening) and were greeted by a... More

We stayed at Grosvenor House 29/8 to 5/9/2011 as a base for our first week in London whilst on holidays from Australia. The location was superb, being both in the heart of the theatre district, close to Covent Garden excellent access to buses tube and surface rail stations. The staff were wonderful and the check in process extremely smooth. The... More

On arrival the people on reception were very efficient & welcoming, this attitude continued throughout our stay. Location could not be better & although we had a first floor room looking onto Drury Lane we found the room to be surprisingly quiet. Overall the studio was adequately equipped, comfortable, and, spacious enough. General cleanliness was OK but it was obviously... More

I'm 65 wanted a long weekend in London Central and have used LSE before - High Holborn and Northumberland House - I chose Grosvenor House because it was en-suite with kitchen facilities. With the Strand and river 5 mins down the road and the British Museum and Covent Garden 5 mins up the road, plus so many Theatres on the... More

If you're expecting the accommodation to be anything more than basic you'll be disappointed. However, what you will get is a priceless location, friendly and helpful staff and perfectly adequate bed and bath. Would recommend to all, this is not just an option for the young!

Yes it is basic but we found our room clean and spacious . Had everything you wanted including a fan. Marks and Spencer food hall/cafe down the road so no need to go hungry. You could walk everywhere. Yes it is student accommodation but the price for location is fantastic. The reception staff are obviously very busy but still remain... More
