The location is amazing. You’re smacked in the middle of the main attractions. The beds are comfortable, linens are clean and a towel is included. The staffs are also very nice. There were two bathroom and shower rooms on my floor and I never found myself needing to wait. The shower room has a general purpose soap dispenser.

I liked the single room layout. There were toilets and showers right nearby the room. There was a beautiful lounge area great for reading, socializing or just enjoying some leisure time. The staff was friendly and helpful. The WiFi worked well. The location is right near the theater district, and walking distance from London Eye and the Hop On/Hop Off bus. The Tube is a short walk away.

“Nice, basic room with great central location for a short stay.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
Apart from the bed (which was exceptionally clean), the room was quite dirty e.g. stains on walls. The walls were quite thin so noise was a bit of an issue and the window would not lock.
The bed was extremely comfortable and clean. Excellent central location. Very cheap too - for the money paid the room that I stayed in contained all of the basics needed for one night. I would not have liked to have stayed longer than one night though.

Brilliant location, clean and simple hostel style accommodation. Plenty of bathrooms and toilets. Simple breakfast in rather charming surroundings of the bar, and I did not have time to try the India Club which was a shame. A London landmark well worth visiting.

Breakfast was not good. I had to climb to 3rd floor with huge suitcase. The luggage room is opened all the time so anybody can walk in and take luggage from it. The rooms are very old with dirty walls and carpet. Hotel definitely needs renovation. It is more hostel than hotel.
Location is very good and staff is great. They were very helpful when I asked some questions
