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.

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

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.

Close to an early morning cafe at a nearby tropical medicine school, close to two or three second hand bookstores, one gay bookstore, and a few blocks away was a massive well stocked new book store.

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.

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 .
