everything small and tight and old. bathrooms super small and old but you can’t complain about the price for the location.

Jason, United States of America

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.

Xian, United States of America

Very clean. Comfortable bed. Clean toilets. Friendly and accommodating staff. Very cosy bar and fabulous restaurant on site.

Paul, United Kingdom

While it's certainly not fancy, this hotel provided nice, clean, comfortable beds, and it's in a great location. The staff was friendly, and it served its purpose well.

Rachel, United States of America

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.

Alison, United States of America

Great central location, friendly staff, and breakfast is included!

William, France

Very high internet speed at common area. Great location. Comfortable bed and pillow.

Mu'az, Malaysia

Good location,walking distance to all theaters,museums, restaurants and parks.The room on the 6 floor was quite clean with comfy bed.The toilet and shower were just next door.There is a sink an a teapot in the room with a good size table dresser and closet.You can leave your laggage for free after checking out.

Elena, United States of America

The location is excellent (a few minutes away from the Temple underground station, 5-10 minutes away from the Charing Cross station, the theatres for The Lion King and Mamma Mia are literally across the street), the breakfast is included in the price and the staff are very nice.

“Did the job just fine.”

- • Stayed 1 night

Because the shower room has a motion detecting light, once you drew the curtain the light wouldn't sense you and would switch off... And then it would... And then it wouldn't. So there was just that cycle of the light turning on and off throughout my shower.
Served the function I needed it to. Location was perfect for what I wanted, my room (5th floor) was quiet, there was cctv in the hallway, plenty of storage in the room, tea, coffee... Bit of a squeeze to get to the sink, mind, but this did everything I needed it to at a price I could afford.

“Overall good but being unable to shower or my mum to shower or bath was unacceptable.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
Shower. I was scalded with boiling hot water. I was bright red. The temperature was either boiling or freezing no in between. Also the lights went out for 5 minutes whilst I was full of soap suds in the shower. I was very frightened and burnt. I had to advise my elderly mother not to shower and helped her wash her hair in the tiny sink in bedroom instead. The bathroom never had a light either so we couldn't use that instead on our 2nd floor landing. I feel I should be compensated for this terrible situation. Please reply. I did notify reception. to complain. Thank you Carol Watson Mobile 07837 596376

Room was not very comfortable because of the size but for a couple of days of a city break acceptable. It was visible that no one has poured any money to the property for a long time. Breakfast was a nightmare. They really should not advertise it as a breakfast. Slices of toast bread with soft cheese wrapped in plastic and marmelade or Nutella as a sweet option, instant coffee and not even enough of it including glases and plates...no way
