Excellent location

All in all, a good hotel. Fantastic location – close to everything. One day we didn’t even use the metro. The hotel is a bit worn and could use a bit of TLC, but if it’s just for a place to sleep, there’s really nothing to complain about.

An excellent hotel for central london. We didn't want to stay in a faceless brand and this was just like staying in a house. Yes, the building is old but for the locations it is wonderful. The room does get hot and it can be noisy with the window open. The staff are lovely and helped us with any questions we had. Cant wait to go back again!

Fine for 1 night

Was very worried about what we were going into due to some reviews but just for somewhere to sleep it isn’t all bad. The rooms could do with being updated as very run down. We had trouble getting in the door and when trying to ring and text the emergency number we got no reply but eventually got in and the pillows were rock solid. The guy who checked us in was polite but was the only person dealing with the building so could probably do with a few more staff

Smallest room ever stayed in

Went to check in but wanted id to check in luckily I had my rail pass, The room was tiny and we checked out early as it was claustrophobic. The only good thing was near Euston Train Station.

Overall was ok

A central London budget hotel, you get what you pay for, so not 3 or 4 star. No bed bugs as far as I'm aware and ok for a one night sleep over. Only grumble was a very weak shower Overall was ok.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Did not stay the night. Found a bed bug in the bed and went to another hotel. The staff was horrified when I showed it to her but I now realise it can not been a big shock for her since I now have found plenty of reviews with similar experiences. I am waiting for a reply from the hotel about my refund.

People, manage your expectations. This is a cheap hotel in a prime spot, so don’t expect great rooms, decor or state of repair. The staff were lovely and the shower was hot and plentiful. Fine for experienced travellers for a night or too, but never going to be a destination hotel.

Convenient location, adequate accomodation

Great location, friendly helpful staff, but you're not going to want to hang out here. Very small rooms crammed awkwardly into an otherwise charming building; cant leave window open in ground floor rooms so it was a bit hot.
