My second stay here. It’s safe, clean and friendly. The location is perfect for the British museum, transport and shopping. The dining facilities are excellent and the garden a haven after exploring London all day. I will be back.

Room was clean and comfortable. Shower rooms and bathrooms were also clean and in good repair. All staff were friendly and helpful. The food available was good and reasonably priced. There was a little bit of noise into the early hours on one night from other residents, they were outside till late as the weather was so warm. Overall I had a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

I know this is a wider problem in and around central London, but to have to pay over £200 for a bed for the night during the week and literally nothing else is just madness in my opinion. The capital is surely suffering as a result. And the mattress was very hard!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
This is a college dorm room, so it is missing a lot of the basics that a hotel room would carry like a kettle, ironing board, AC, TV, etc.. Also the interior of the building is well kept but worn. For the price I was expecting more (I paid over £200 per night inc tax) so was disappointed. I felt that this was overly expensive for what was offered, especially as breakfast wasn't included and there wasn't means to get hot water from a central location like you might do in other budget/minimalist hotels. It is in a nice neighbourhood which is pretty quiet and close to public transport connections. Overall, it is fine if you are open to dorm type accommodation and prepared to pay quite a high price for it, but I won't be staying here again.
