This small hotel close to the British museum is a very good choice if you plan to spend a few days in London. We went back there for a second year in a row and we were always satisfied. The room are relatively small, but big enough, very clean and comfortable. It offers free Wifi and includes a continental breakfast.... More

Only five minutes walk from the British Museum, ten minutes from the nearest West End theatre and the Soho district, this hotel has a great location. The closest tube station, Goodge Street, is just minutes away on Tottenham Court Rd - there are steps up from the platform though, so watch out if you have a heavy suitcase. On our... More

I'm not overly fussy regarding accommodation, but do expect a minimum standard when paying £65 per night. This 'hotel' did not meet those standards. The room was dirty, the bed uncomfortable, the taps in my room didn't work, the breakfast was cheap...etc., etc. I would only stay here again if I absolutely had to.

We took a trip to London this past July. So it is London, week before the Olympics, and I was making reservations only three weeks prior our arrival. This was just a first leg of a 6week trip and I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a hotel. There wasn't much left in my price range to... More

Pretty basic, but was fine for one night. Room basic, but clean. Suited our needs, as we wanted to be fairly close to the theatre district. Not too far from the train station. Breakfast very basic. Well priced, you get what you pay for. Staff were friendly.

Glad I stayed here just one night ! My photos should be sufficiently self-explanatory and cannot lie... Some more hints: 1) 100% advance payment, otherwise they don't even show you the room! 2) the breakfast is poor, no tablecloth, in a very small room with a few tables (had to wait 20 mins before sitting) 3) no bar/drinks/water at night

We arrived a little early and our room was ready for us. We are a family of 4 and the extra bed was already set up in the room. The staff was friendly and the hotel suited our needs just fine. Breakfast is nothing special--no yogurt or fresh fruit but there is cereal, bread, and jam. We love the location.... More

First the good news the staff were friendly, the bed was comfortable and the staff stored our luggage for the day. That's all of the good news. The shared shower was not pleasant, there was mould and dirt between tiles and on the ceiling. The shower had no pressure so the only way to shower was from the hip down.... More
