I felt like I was in a horror movie — everything was old and falling apart. The room looked like a prison cell, with a horrible bed, a disgusting smell, and a rock-hard mattress. It was like scenes from a horror film. As for the bathrooms, I won’t even comment because I don’t have words to describe what I saw. The photos already look bad, but the reality is much worse. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I honestly don’t understand how this can be called a hotel or how it’s even allowed to operate.

The property is outdated, needs renovation and upgrades to modern facilities. The carpet looks so old and dirty Windows and windows seals were so dusty and dirty, rooms were so stuffy. The property needs total upgrading.

basic standard, centrally located

My room in this centrally located hotel was clean and the check-in was easily done. I regularly travel to London and I've previously stayed in this hotel before. I recommend this to solo short term travellers who just need a basic accommodation within the city's centre. For just a night I don't need any luxury, shared bathroom is ok and clean towels are always provided.

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).

We checked in and checked out 2 hours later after we found a much better hotel. The total money was forefeit but it was good for ourselves. The hotel is not liveable and it is simply horrible plus terrible. We should ask the homeless people to live inside for two nights instead of in the cold streets.

Beautiful entrance, deceiving interior

The shower drain had no protection, several rats can come out of there the noise from the bathroom exhaust fan sounded like a tractor I paid for a room with a double bed and the receptionist said that they only had one with two single beds, so she said that I could check out at 12pm. the two mattresses looked like a rusty trampoline

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.

simple and recommendable for a short city trip

I've already been to this hotel and again, everything was fine. The room, linen and towels were clean and everything worked well. It's not a luxury hotel but perfect for those who just need a simple accommodation in the centre of London. The simple furniture is perfect for solo travellers who don't have a lot of luggage and for just one or a few nights having a private bathroom is not really important. Most of all, I like the location. It's within walking distances from Bloomsbury campus of University of London, next to British Museum, 5 min walk away from next Sainsbury, Tottenham Court Rd, 10 min walking distance from Russell Square or Holborn, 15 min walking to Euston Station.
