The balcony door didn’t lock, it took two people to push it with full force in order to close it. The bedding also wasn’t changed. There were hairs, false lashes, makeup and chocolate all over the sheets, duvet and pillows. We then went down to reception and were made to change the bedding ourselves.

We just needed a room to sleep in after theatre trip so this did the job. The rooms are dated but were clean and spacious. One night here was fine. Wouldn’t stay longer than that. Good location by Holborn station. Walkable to Covent Garden’s. So suited us. Cheap and easy.

Decent rooms with the affordable price in Central London and the staff were good. I didn't have the bed bug problem as someone said in the review comments. Had good sleep and it is close to British Museum.

A unique experience living in an old building turned hotel. The staircase to our room was narrow and winding. The wooden floor made creaking sound and some parts of the carpet were torn with nails protruding. Despite the creaking floor, the beds and linen were clean and comfortable. Suitable for short stay and backpackers.

Needs updating
Room very basic An needs totally updating, windows old an ready to fallout so traffic noise was bad. Tv was tiny, coffee and tea basic. Beds were clean and comfortable. Didn’t see any staff just given key and left to it. Close to a lot of places an buses and tubes. Ideal for a one night stay anything else id look elsewhere. £152 for a night with no breakfast was really expensive for the conditions of the room.

Great little hotel in central London. As other people mention it’s not quite the ritz , but it’s very good for the price. A little run down, but if you are spending your day out in London you won’t really mind. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

I usually stay at business class hotels but on this trip opted to save some money and selected this property. My ratings do not give them a break for being a discount property. This is a cute little hotel. I had a single room and while it was small it was warm, safe and comfortable. If you want more go stay at the Ritz. The staff was very helpful and eager to please. They know they need to work hard in a competitive market. If I were budget traveling I would stay there again.

Little run down but comfortable
The hotel is in a great location but it rather run down. It could do with some love but could be a fantastic place. The TV is so small it might as well be none existant. The cups are all miss matching. The shower could do with a de-scale and some support under the basin. The beds are comfortable and we did have a good nights sleep.
