Seven Dials Hotel - B&B  

The location was perfect, just five minutes from Leicester Square tube station. It was surprisingly quiet for a central hotel.

The room was 3 floors up so it felt like climbing the north face of the Eiger! It was relatively small so I had to move the bed in order to close the bathroom door. There were only two plug points for tv, kettle and hairdryer and in order to be able to swap between appliances you had to move the dressing table. If I wanted to be in furniture moving I would work for Pickfords! One of the bedside lamps appeared to be not working - though maybe it wasn't plugged in and as it would have meant pulling the bed out to check I never found out. The lighting around the dressing table was also very poor which made getting ready to go out fun. One of the towels in the bathroom had a suspicious dirty mark on it. The breakfast was poor; there was no choice of cereals - cornflakes or cornflakes!! Most things seemed to have run out by 8.15am and were slow in being replenished. The sausages were cremated, the tomatoes were tinned and not fresh and the baked beans were dried out. The dining room (below street level) felt generally cramped and was very hot and stuffy, not helped by the open kitchen door, the hot food counter and the fact it was July. A recent stay in central Berlin for less per night for much superior food and accomodation leaves me wondering what foreign tourists must think of us if this is the best we can do.

Convenient location, sensible price

Tiny room, bed was far too small, fittings and fixtures were old/worn, very poor fiasco facilities, terrible from a safety point of view, particularly with regard to fire safety. Generally a terrible, over- priced death trap. Will not be going there again or recommending

Convenient and value for money

tiny room - fine to shower, change and sleep, but not to spend any time in.

The staff are fabulous and the location can't be beaten for the price. I really rate this hotel.

I chose Seven Dials for the location - right in the middle of Covent Garden. It had everything I needed for a short stay, but I wouldn't stay there for more than one night as it is quite compact. An apparently independent hotel where the owners seem to have taken care to give guests all they need in the centre of town for an affordable price.

My room was a little small for more than a night's stay. It didn't worry me that it was on the top floor with no lift, but I imagine it would have been very difficult for some people.

Nothing at all - it was dreadful. DON'T STAY HERE.

It is very small and "pokey" - the "double" room was so small you couldn't swing a cat it it. I guess it is only just qualifies as a double room because it has the smallest double bed I've ever seen. Tthere was no milk to make tea and when I asked the night porter for some he said they only supply milk powder - ugh. The room was too hot, even without the heating on - but if you have the window open the noise keeps you awake. Breakfast - you have a choice of old mashed corn flakes or old mashed corn flakes and orange juice or orange juice and then fried eggs with solid hard yokes (because they've been sitting there for 3 hours) to go with the bacon, sausage and tinned tomatoes. Then old rubbery toast with no marmalade. Altogether the worst hotel I have ever stayed in - and if they want to call themselves a B&B then they should charge B&B prices.

Excellent location and friendly staff.

Cupboard size room with poor furniture.

Excelently situated near Covent Garden. The staff is friendly and helpful.

My room was extremly tiny:a double bed,, a tiny wardrobe, a shower and a toilet. The TV was old and dodgy: only one channel was working properly.

Poor fire precautions , poor breakfast, stairs probably not legal

It wa dire

Location is good but I wouldn't sleep on the street just to be in the right place. There are other considerations that this hotel totally ignores.

The image given by the website is far from reality. This dingy Guest House (how dare they call it a Hotel) has absolutely no facilities. I climbed to my tiny room on the second floor via a steep and narrow stairs. room was small and not too clean and the window wouldn't lock. The breakfast room and and breakfast was so poor I didn't bother after 1st day. Complained to Booking.com and all they said was the owner was liable for the advertising. What a cop-out. I think I will advertise my house as a 5 star! if your thinking of staying there - dont - not unless the only other choice is the street. The ST Giles is close by and is cheaper! How does that work!
