Ideally placed for supporting family in Great Ormond Street Hospital, also very close to the British Museum. Lots of shops and places for food near by.

I arrived very late to the hotel so I was very appreciative of the 24 hour reception. However, there was a large crack in my bedroom door

Check in and out was fine. No toilet paper, toilet was black, showers were black and filthy, unusable. Floor was coming up in the room, mattress was very thin

As a basic place to lay one's head (especially coming in from Soho in the early hours), it's adequate, well-placed and excellent value for the location. The bed was comfortable, and staff friendly and helpful. The facilities are basic and non-suite, and the shower and toilet in the corridor a bit pokey. The basin in my room had a very low-pressure water supply, but just about adequate to clean the teeth. I'd certainly use it as a base again, though at my age (and especially after a night of jazz and caipirinhas), I maybe should pay a bit more for en suite next time!

The room was very basic with an en suite that looked like it had been lifted from a caravan. No wifi in the room, no drinking water either. There was mould around the bathroom door and the single pane sash window let in the noise. Overall a very cheap room but you get what you pay for.

I’ve done my night and reported everything that was broken or missing to reception staff, whose fault isn’t theirs. The sheets and towels were clean, the tv remote batteries had leaked so didn’t work, no plug, no shower curtain, no glass, just one window curtain, noisy £99 wasted - pay more for a real hotel!

It's fine if your coming just to sleep. The room has a smell and if you get rooms on the top floor it's better rather than the basement rooms.

The staff were friendly and it is a 15 minute walk to town the west end which is great. Should be advertised as a hostel - basic, not as clean as could be but fine for a place to put your head down for the nigh.
