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,

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.

Work stay
The staff at the hotel are amazing, really kind and helpful. The hotel itself is absolutely awful. They could probably get away with charging £40/50 a night due to location but anything more than that I would avoid. The rooms are filthy with now facilities and clearly, due to the thick dust and multiple hanging cobwebs are never thoroughly cleaned. The bed itself was terrible, it was like sleeping on a boat, the mattress should be chucked away, it was awful, they don’t even use mattress protectors. Avoid!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was probably the most dingiest hotel I've ever stayed in my entire life. The room was disgustingly dirty. The TV had no remote. Window curtains were torn to shreds. The window would barley closed. Capet was stained all over. The shower hadn't been cleaned in months and there was no hot water and it wouldn't drain properly. The staff was informed and did nothing about it. It was so bad, I left two days early. I could have stayed at a Holiday Inn for a better price. Not worth $100 a night. I Seriously want a refund.
