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.

6 floors up - no lift - there was no indication beforehand. This would have been fine if you did not have to trail down the 6 flights of stairs every time something was needed. No toilet paper in toilets. Wifi not available in room. Most of the time the reception was unattended and you had to go looking for them. Very frustrating.

No elevator but it contains 6floors. If you are unfortunately assigned to 6th floor, this is really very bad! Shared bathroom and toilets are in poor condition. The building is very old.
Staff are nice and willing to help. Location is good, walking distance to Charging Cross, Covent Garden and Temple station.

Wifi is only available on the 1st floor lounge. There are no lockers in the room, so you’ll have to bring your valuables along. The staircase is steep and narrow. There is breakfast but it is the very basic. The lights in the shower room turns on and off while you are inside. There is a bit of a smell in the hallways (but ignorable after a while).
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.

Bedroom was on 6th floor. No lifts. Very narrow stairs. Weird buzzer entrance system where you enter a code on the second floor. Bed uncomfortable. Room was in front of shared toilets and showers it was like leicester square at 6 in the morning. Noise people banging doors. There are signs everywhere asking people to close the doors quietly but they are heavy and slam closed on their own. A few controlled hinges would fix it. Very shabby, just generally looks like the owners dont care about the place.
Excellent location. Cheap price.
