The area was nice. The hotel was dirty. The room looked dirty and not well maintained. Also, had we not been exhausted after a long day, we would have noticed bed bugs crawling on the walls and a large number of eggs right on the wall above our bed. I woke up itching and found multiple large bites on my arms, legs, back and the same on my children’s arms, legs and even on my son’s face. We felt disgusted and checked out that morning even though we were booked in for one more night. The staff apologised and assured us the rooms get checked thoroughly in between guests which was obviously a lie taking into account the large number of eggs present on the wall. The staff also did not bother to approve a refund leaving expedia to deal with it.

It was a horrible hotel. Old and smelling terrible. The manager didn't authorize the refund of one night, even I showed him pictures of mices in his hotel room. I would never recomend this hotel ever!! Hotels.com shouldn't even have this kind of hotels in their web site

The main thing, it was clean, dated but clean.
I wouldn't take too much notice of poor reviews, I was sceptical but for the price and location you really can't argue at the value for money. The decor is dated and needs a refresh but the important thing like the mattress, bed sheets, bathroom were all absolutely fine. I've booked to stay for another night when I'm back in a couple of weeks. Perfect for a couple of nights. Shower was a little weak as others mentioned, but it was more than sufficient to use.

Great location for train stations, underground and city centre. Good communication. Friendly staff. Very clean. Felt safe. Would absolutely stay again. Is tired - basic. Not fancy hotel. Budget friendly. All emails prior to checking in said check out midday but it's 10am. Staff came shortly after 10am to say I'd overstayed and may need to pay extra. Sorted once showed emails but they need to sort out their automatic emails and correct information.

Great location, horrible room
We were given a bedroom in the basement, with a window that can't be opened. You could feel the damp as soon as you entered the room. The lady at Reception was very helpful and gave us a table fan, but that wasn't good enough - at the very least you would need a dehumidifier working in that room 24x7. At the time of doing the booking, nothing indicated that we would get a room with no ventilation at all. Also, it was announced as an en-suite, which was only partially true - we had a shower room for ourselves, but it was outside the room (i.e. you had to go out of the room to get to the shower room). Great location close to Tottenham Court Road, though, and very low price.

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!

This is a house that someone divided and placed as many bedrooms and bathrooms in, then called it a hotel. I saw many of them on that same block. The housekeeper does her best but the property itself is another question.

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.

The shower filled with water, and even though we told the desk, it wasn’t fixed. The floor was seriously slanted, and was unsafe to walk in.
