As my boyfriend and I were going to London for a few days as a last minute break, I saw this hotel and thought although it's cheap, it would be basic but clean and it was in a good location. When I arrived and entered the reception I saw the old dingy carpets, the worn leather couches with holes in... More

Well, the price for this hotel is relatively small but the rooms condition is very bad. The rooms are tiny and unsafe as for fire (you can get stuck in your room if any emergency), the lift (old fashioned steel grating) and you can hit the things in your room and be injured. If you are a big person you... More

This hotel was ideally located for a meeting that I was attending the next day and at the price appeared to be worth the risk. I would not recommend that anyone else takes the same risk. I stayed here at the end of last year and my room was filthy. I tried to have a shower and the water was... More

I was here for two nights, for a business meeting. The hotel was booked by the company, since it was nearby the meeting place. Good position, terrible hotel.The reservation was not found on my arrival, but of course they had free rooms. Single room very small and dirty. Chair falling into pieces. Better not to look at the bedspread. Very... More

True, the hotel is very well located. But honestly, the owners of this hotel should be ashamed of themselves. I paid 120 pounds (had to pay 5 pounds extra for the WiFi connection which was really poor) for a double room. Not a bad price for central london. But I absolutely do not expect to find a shower curtain that... More

let's face it, hotel prices in central london are ridiculously high. So for 90 pounds a night for a single room you're not going to get anything fancy. On the plus side, it's in a great location, convenient for several tube lines and minutes walk from oxford circus. The staff are friendly and attentive and it comes with free breakfast... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here as part of a mid-week break in London. I had booked online thinking a three star guest house near Oxford Street couldn't be all that bad. We weren't planning on spending much time in the hotel so thought that even if it was basic it would be fine as long as everything was clean... More

I have read with interest all the negative comments about this hotel. Ok, it's not the Savoy, however it is clean, quiet and comfortable. I have just booked for my second stay in October 2011. The first time i booked in there I hadn't read the poor reviews until two days before I arrived. I entered in trepidation expecting creaking... More
