Champagne location, ginger beer budget!
Perfect for those out and about and only sleeping at the accommodation. Facilities are basic but clean, bed comfy and breakfast satisfactory. Staff were smiley despite a very busy time of guests and returning students. The room (floor 10) was extremely hot with only a small gap for window ventilation (for obvious reasons!) but a fan was provided which did help this guest, although not the environment. I would stay again. It is a 2 mile walk from Victoria coach station, past Buckingham Palace, through Green Park, along Piccadilly and up Shaftesbury Avenue. A feast for the eyes. A stone's throw from Covent Garden and its many streets and hidden pleasures. It was very easy to rack up over 11 miles on the walking app (in just an afternoon/evening).

Loved my stay at LSE High Holborn. It was close to the tube, in a great area with cafés and restaurants, it was clean and the breakfast was great. Highly recommend!

The location is perfect, less than 5 mins to Holborn station, 24/7 reception with easy left luggage, on top of this there's a buffet breakfast (continent) which runs to 11:00. For the price, this place is fantastic. TO NOTE - They asked for ID in check-in, this was not in any of the initial emails or messages sent to me and check out is at 10:30 not 11:00.

Good location. Very walkable to many highlights. Great breakfast options. Staff was nice. Zero view. Rooms and washrooms were okay but bare basics. Did have access to full kitchen for anyone wanting to save money on dining out.

I was in London for few days for work ...This place is perfect for a single traveler...I used the kitchen to cook some dinner it was clean and quiet never felt in a rush or uncomfortable ..Amazing breakfast every morning downstairs loads off fresh fruit cereals yogurts which i love ..Only downside was one of the lifts not working so a slight delay to go upstairs to the 7th floor...Butt overall i enjoyed my stay best value for money all things considered in this part of London by Far...

Good stay. Of course this is university accommodation, so we knew what we were expecting. Great breakfast with lots of options. Communal bathroom and kitchen may benefit from more regular airing but were functional and clean, albeit a little tired. Location is incredible for theatres, Covent Garden and Leicester Square.

The Shared toilet did not work for 5 room for two days.After report the staffs tried to fix it. Each time to go out or in from your room you can hear a bang shoot for all rooms and there were no ways to stop them. People go in an out from 6 and for sure make others up. Very loud noise when the staffs took the garbage bins out of building with wheels on bins on cobblestone surface. The building was nice and clean. The breakfast was great. Accessible and fantastic neighborhood for visitors.

It was a good place to stay for the theatre district, but I had a sink in my room that was blocked with someone else's food. Breakfast that is included more than made up for everything else being a bit worn (due to it being uni accommodation)

Two and a half stars. The best thing about this place is the location, which is obviously very important as a tourist. The only other thing I can recommend about the property is the very good breakfast that is included, which was a welcome surprise. Otherwise, I cannot recommend on the basis of the "accommodations" alone. The mattress was old and in bad condition. The setup of the bathrooms is atrocious and I truly feel for the students who have to live with that on a long-term basis. I understand the cost is rock bottom and you're in central London, and that's obviously a tradeoff that many are willing to make. For some it will work just fine, for others definitely not. And it could be that other rooms/bathrooms have been renovated and I saw only my small "wing." But let's not kid ourselves that it's easy to overlook the showers that are more suited to a prison than a hotel.

Great Location.
The price I paid for this hotel for two nights was £94 which included breakfast, it was a shared bathroom which did not bother me at all as it was very clean and only shared with a few rooms. The breakfast was a continental breakfast which had a lot to offer, like I say you just can’t complain. The location is literally 6 min walk from Covent Garden tube station and is in the perfect location. The only gripe I had was that the fire doors were very squeaky and can be heard when laying in bed. Just a little bit of oil and it would be sorted. I would definitely recommend staying over if you want to keep the price down on your weekend away.

A bit tired but nothing you wouldn’t expect with it being university halls of residence. And this was more than made up for by the price and central location.
