10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very friendly and helpful
Helena, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not recommended for family with children

Not recommended to any children to go there. The building is very old, smell horriblely and not feel safe or comfortable. Only thing we chosed to stay there over night, checked out at 4 am, because it is close to British Museum. It is not worth for £150 for one night.

Lucy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Enough for short stays
Ailla, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not in great condition. Mould in the bathroom, no light bulb in a lamp, the cupboards bolted down, and a very springy bed. But sticky and some ants. Great location so able to get out to London attractions quickly which was main reason for purchase. For a cheaper stay than other accommodation close by, but wouldn't book this for a luxury getaway that's for sure.
Thomas, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible on all levels. Shower didn’t work. Filthy room. Peeling paint. Mouldy smell in bathroom.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok

Stayed 2 nights. Rooms are ok, but mould in bathroom. The matress is too soft. Its not a place you go to spend time in the room only sleep. Location is good. Would find another place next time.

Vilde, 4-night trip

Jonathan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Really bad - just avoid

Really bad - just avoid Poorly fitted out. Nothing like the photos and not worth it. God knows why some people have given 10/10 reviews - ignore them and read the 2/10 ones which sum it up. Left after one night
Ratna, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bad value for money, unclean, loud

Heating was left on and was unbearable with no way of turning off directly in the room, even after speaking to the front desk. Unclean, very noisy from other guests slamming doors at all hours, en-suite was tiny, smaller than a caravan toilet/shower. Not worth the money.
1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
Richard, 1-night trip
