8/10 Very good

Good value Hotel.
Hotel was in a convenient location for our theatre trip which made life easy. The advance check in and accompanying instructions on gaining entry to the hotel outside of reception hours were very helpful, and once we'd manoeuvred around the enormous front door, all went well. The room was a good size with a good supply of tea and coffee, the only slight let down was one of the windows wouldn't close fully which meant the street noise was slightly invasive at times. Overall though it was a positive experience and i would stay there again with no hesitation.

The room was extremely basic, which is fine for me when I'm down in London for work. But it had a terrible smell of drains, which seemed to be coming from the shower. The shower itself was little more than a dribble of water. Not somewhere I'd stay again

Great location and shower but thats it unfortunately. The room is dusty, floors sticky and bedding not clean. There sre stains on the pillows and we had a burnt duvet. There was no bedding provided for the sofa bed and their was hairs and dirt all over the sofa bed matress. Tea and coffee facilities were also poor, not refilled after the last stay. Window sills and curtains need a good steam clean. No staff available after 5pm although they were friendly at check in. Fortunately we were only staying for 1 night. Nothing like the photos online!

As a seasoned traveller I fell for the pictures on the website when booking !! What an absolute disappointment of a property, put in the basement room which wouldn’t have looked out of place in a horror scene. Dim lighting , awful second hand bedding, lumpy second hand mattress, bathroom slide door wouldn’t budge , rusty holder for shampoo and shower gel .What a depressing place .The photos I have uploaded do not tell the story .

couldn't sleep well at B1 basement room.
We were sleeping at B1 bedroom. cos the room were basement room.we were hear underground the train running all the time. Couldn't sleep well every night. I will never rent this B1 basement room again. I understand the hotel couldn't do anything to made B1 better. cos the room is too closed with the underground. I may try to stay again if sleep in upstairs bedroom. The location is near by underground and train station. Easy to going anywhere. A lot of good restaurants around.

For the price it was excellent. Lovely Nespresso coffee machine and comfy bed. Perfect location. 8 mins walk from Euston and 2 min walk to tube. Safe area if travelling alone. It's not the Savoy but perfectly adequate for a short stay. Lovely bright room.

I had a query about leaving our luggage, as the website said you can leave luggage during reception hours. However, check out is 10am and reception doesn't open until 11am. I phoned twice, left text and WhatsApp messagea and nobody ever got back to me!

No amenities provide in bathroom. Fan in the room is full of dirt. No wardrobe Room space is not enough for opening our luggage. Photos shown on platform not reflect the real condition of the room. No lift. Staircase is too narrow. Very difficult to move big luggage up to the room

Not worth the price
Just not worth the money — there are better, CLEANER, more secure options. The peep hole in the door was punched out and at loo roll stuck through to block it. Door lock didn’t really feel like it would keep out a strong knock. Shower didn’t drain. Only plus is that someone answered the phone when I rang up at 9pm needing the code to get in.

Weekend stay for two
Good location. For london the room was a good size. On top floor which meant we could leave windows open as so hot. Place a little dated but clean. Nice to have fridge & tea marking facilities. Bed base ripped & in poor condition.
