Satisfactory only
Good to be given a family room when travelling solo. However room was tired - threadbare carpet, mouldy shower curtain and no kettle despite their being cups and coffee available to use.

Not sure what to say
The front of house staff were efficient and friendly. I have zero complaints. The issue is the mould and damage in the rooms. Cut my foot on a broken tile in the toilet and didn’t dare shower incase the mould spores touched me. Cheapest in the area for a reason but not sure how am health and safety haven’t closed them down.

Great but needs improvements
For a last minute booking for 1 adult and 1. Child we got the basement which was huge!
Although a budget hotel the rooms do need updating and fans during summer would be great! TV remote was broken.
Beds were a bit springy but the heavy blankets and pillows allowed for a good nights sleep. Would visit again for sure

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 👌

Bra lugn gata men man hörde trafik från andra gator. Rätt sköna sängar. Reception i hotellet bredvid. Ingen frukost fanns att köpa på hotellet.

Not worth the price
Overall the lobby staff were friendly. No complaints with them what so ever. Very nice people. My room on the other hand had the smallest shower ever. With a shower head that sprayed everywhere but your body. The bed was slanted as sinking in the flood, not very comfy. No AC, but the fan on high speed was so low.
Overall for the price, comfort was bad, cleanliness was poor, and shower/bathroom was very poor.

My last minute option
It was affordable and near great transportation but there is no air conditioning and if you can’t walk up several flight of stairs than I don’t recommend unless you can get a room on the ground floor,

Pause before entering, thanks.
On arrival there where socks left over from a previous stay, and dried urine on the toilet seat. We requested it to be cleaned which it was as we went out.
On the second day, we stayed for a longer sleep, however there was no door hanger saying do not enter. I woke to the cleaner knocking and immediately entering whilst i was naked.

We stayed here because our train was cancelled and needed somewhere to stay last minute. It was fine. The staff was very friendly, the room was ok. Very outdated and needs repairs but for one night it was fine.

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

A hotel to avoid
Not sure what the 3 stars relates to? Maybe because there’s a hairdryer in the room…
Nothing wrong with a small room, carpet , squeaky, bumpy floor and the bathroom was extremely small and tired. The bathroom soo won’t even shut

The receptionist was most welcoming on arrival and informative. I was able to store my luggage until my room was ready so I could carry on with my day. The reception was open 24 hours a day so I didn't have to worry about my return time. The only negative was, there was a kettle in my room but no coffee or milk.

Staff polite and informative.
No milk.
Shower braket broken.
Shower curtain and rail missing. Staff informed seemed suprised! So I showed him the picture of the damage.
Room was clean and tidy.
Good for the price in central London.
