the floor was quite loud but probably because we’re on the top floor. only reason i put 4 stars was because there’s no lift and we had to carry all our luggages from ground to 3rd floor. otherwise it’s all good stay

It was a pretty nice hotel in a good area but the first room I was given was really tiny and way to warm there but they let me change rooms. Shared toilets and showers on the hotel. Literally five minutes away from a tube station which is excellent 👌

Basic but a good price. Comfy beds after a day out

It was central and about a 10 minute walk to Holborn or Russell Sq tubes. The beds were nice and comfy. We had a lovely powerful shower. The hotel could do with some tlc but for the price we paid it was fine. The guy on reception on the annexe was super helpful

The room was very dirty and the bathroom ceiling light makes a lot of noise. My single room didnt had bathroom , I had to pay 14£ more for a single room with bathroom, and that room was very dirty and the bathroom dirty with 💩, there weren't any towers. That place shouldn't be considered a hotel if not a hostel.
