This was the worst hotel, if you can call it that, by far. There was no lift and very steep stairs to carry luggage. The room was very filthy from the carpet to the walls, there was no working tv, the beds were very uncomfortable just sitting on them. Really disappointed and disgusted. False advertisement as the room looks nothing like the picture on the advertisement. Mom and I stayed for less than 5 minutes and had to book a hotel nearby right away. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

To be honest, you get what you pay for. This is the cheapest hotel in this area, the are is incredible, so overall good value for money. You get a bed, a toilet, and a towel, do not expect more and you’ll be fine.

This hotel is within walking distance of King's Cross Station (although not perfect if you have a heavy suitcase). There are places nearby for food including a McDonalds. There was a wash basin in the room but there looked to be broken glass or something between the edge of the wash basin and the wall which had not been cleared away. The receptionist was friendly.

It was a basic room yes but it was more like a prison furniture were horrible and dirty. The only one electrical socket, which was for the television was 6 foot off the ground not used to charge phones toilet in the hallway so small you couldn’t even sit down.

It’s a budget hotel. Don’t expect anything flashy here. It is a solid place and I will book here again. I travel for work and like to keep my expenditures low. The Gresham Annex was perfectly acceptable for the price.

Best value hotel in Central London

Could do with a lick of paint and a new shower head but otherwise good value for money 2 mins away from Tottenham Court Road/Central Line. Stayed end of August when it was cooler. No aircon so could be very hot if staying in height of summer. But no problems for us. Nice clean sheets, towels, good water pressure and hot water.

Old, dated, but good value still

Room was dated. In the basement. But spacious and with windows for sunlight. My only complaints are that there was only hot water tap was working so it was impossible to take shower. But overall given price and location I’m satisfied with my stay. Thank you
