Like a flop house. Bed just wire spring with mattress. Husband slept on the floor. Floors soft and rotting with thin carpeting. Could not open window or adjust temperature. Shower and sink in room smelled like swamp. Had to take paper with us to the toilet down the hall. The staff were pleasant and helpful. But we did not complete the 3 night reservation we had paid in advance.

You get what you pay for. The price was good by London standards and the neighborhood, right by the British Museum, is fine. But the hotel is shabby. My room had a dirty bathroom with a chipped, stained sink, no bathroom amenities except a nearly empty bottle of soap, one bath towel per person (no hand towels or washcloths), no drinking glass, no wastebasket or anything else. Hot water began flowing in the shower about 3-4 minutes after I turned it on. One light bulb was burned out in the ceiling fixture and there was no lamp for the beaten-up desk (I had to move rooms to get a desk at all). A sagging bed, iron clothes rack directly over the head of one bed, spotty internet (front desk said the system is new and still being adjusted), tiny TV with no sign of a remote control, windows that stuck, flimsy door lock (I don't think a woman would be comfortable with that). The people at the desk were kind. At my request, they got me a drinking glass (a glass champagne flute, of all things), more liquid soap, and a wastebasket. I imagine they could have rustled up a TV remote if I'd wanted it. For a single person doing business on a budget in London I guess it's OK (assuming the internet improves). Anyone looking for real comfort, or on a pleasure trip where they'll spend any amount of time in the room, won't find much pleasure here.

DO NOT BOOK HERE- There was black mould EVERYWHERE I couldn’t stop dry heaving. The hotel didn’t care and Expedia also didn’t care to do anything about it. I had to leave and they both refused to refund even tho this hotel is a literal health hazard.

Property needs a major refurb. Bathtub was dirty. Although, the bedroom was clean. It still requires some investment to make it look nicer. I only needed the room for 5 hours because I was getting a Eurostar train in the morning. The room served its purpose, but I highly wouldn’t recommend.

Avoid this hotel was horrible

The beds had hairs in , the shower had tape around it could not use bathroom dirty so had to use shared bathroom there was pubic hair everywhere used condom . Carpet was disgusting the room was not clean. Check in the staff member was looking at me as if I didn’t book the hotel and also asked for my passport number. Yet I have stayed I. Other hotels in London and they have never asked this as I like in uk . I would like a refund for this stay as we wher four women that stayed and did not feel safe staying in this hotel and the quality was nasty not worth the amount we paid for one nigh it was horrible as one of the girls said she wouldn’t offer it to a rat. That was what she expressed. Will not stay again

Good and bad

Good points: Twin room with a shared toilet and bathroom - perfect for 2 people who aren't a couple. Room was clean and door lock was secure. Staff member on 24/7 reception desk was polite and helpful - just limited by the hotels lack of facilities. Fairly cheap by London standards, fantastic central location a block away from the British Museum. Walking distance from King's Cross and St Pancras train stations. Bad points : No place to refill water bottles in hotel - a cheap easy improvement to make? Towel rail in room falling off wall. Shower room was out of order so had to use shared bathroom on different floor - this was clean but would of benefited from limescale being removed. Shared toilets were tiny - toilet seat not fully secured to toilet. Very thin walls with no sound proofing, heard people watching videos on their phone, talking, doors closing etc. Corridors and room could all do with new paint. Presumably most of the above problems are related to it being a cheap hotel and the owners therefore having little capital to make improvements
