Pay for a cheap room in an expensive city and this is what you get. The wash basin leaked straight onto the floor - I reported it and was told 'don't' use it.' Great advice. Room 11 BTW - I expect it's still not fixed. The radiator was on full and no way to turn it down. The window opened an inch for fresh air, so I had the noise from every night worker to enjoy. Not that it mattered, as the army surplus bed was so noisy, the springs squealed so much that it merely added to the cacophony of noise. I was perhaps unlucky to visit whilst the Venerable Order of Late Night Door Slammers was also in town, but I suspect they may be in permanent residence. I wouldn't wash my dog in the shared bathroom (I didn't have my dog, I'm merely trying to impart an idea of how poor the washing facilities were). The staff were OK. Do yourself a favour - either save yourself £30 and stay in a genuine hostel, or spend another £30 and get a nearly decent hotel with your own throne and shower. This is the worst of all compromises. The good? It's only a 15 minute walk to Kings Cross/St Pancreas, and you can go anywhere in the world from there....

We stayed for a night after seeing a show at Shaftesbury Theatre, so it was an easy walk back late at night. The extra fee for en suite wasn't worth it. We ended up using shared bethroom/shower for space & standard of facility. The wardrobes were all screwed closed, so would be no good if staying longer & wanted to hang things. It could do with a fresh lick of paint. The room was suitably warm when we arrived back in the evening.

The room was the smallest room with 2 single beds as expected for a twin room, the ensuite was basically a portaloo with a plastic shower, the sealant was mouldy. There were cobwebs in every corner of the room. No facilities to even make a coffee in the morning, and our view from the window was the staffs smoking area. Although on a positive note, the staff were friendly and helpful in guiding us for where to eat travel etc, and the beds were comfortable.

This hotel was absolutely filthy. From the moment we walked through the door I could smell mould and faecal matter. The walls, radiator, side tables, floors ans curtains were filthy and mouldy. The carpet hadnt been cleaned and the room looked nothing like advertised. We checked out immediately and have already complained.

The location is fabulous. But the rooms are in poor repair and completely lacking in amenities, the beds are rubbish and simple things like the shower or curtains are unpleasant to use due to poor design and obvious cost cutting at every turn. The room was inexpensive, but I have booked inexpensive rooms in London that felt much less like a apartment that no one has quite gone shopping for yet.

Depends what you’re after…
It depends what you’re after. The hotel is in a perfect location, just a few minutes walk from Oxford Street and other main attractions. It was also quiet and there was plenty of room. It was also pretty cheap for four of us to stay one night. The staff were very polite. However, the beds were uncomfortable and the room was very hot without any ventilation (no Air con and you couldn’t open the windows). Therefore, we slept on top of the bed, but couldn’t use, the bedspread as it was stained and filthy. Also the bathroom taps wouldn’t turn of and the general cleanliness of the room was poor. If you need cheap and cheerful, then stay here. If you’re after something more luxurious, then stay else where.

Nice budget option, room relatively clean, however not very good noise insulation so it’s woken up buy doors slamming often during the night. Communal bathroom was not overly clean but acceptable for the price paid
