Arrived at hotel to find it shut with a repossesion notice on the door. Phoned mobile number on the door to be redirected to another hotel. Staff were lovely but clearly struggling with it all. Standard of room was average and shower was so small i couldnt turn round in it. Only saving factor was a very reasonable price for a Lindon hotel.

It’s a cheap room in central London within walking distance to all the landmarks. You pay 4 times the price everywhere else. If it’s somewhere to just sleep you’ve chose the right place x

First the hotel was closed. When they finally answered one of the phone calls (forcing me to spend for roaming charges because US phone companies nickel and dime you) they said they moved me to another hotel [so this is a review of THANET HOTEL but I assume it's much the same]. At first he couldn't even tell me the address ('Just put it in google maps') but finally I guess he looked it up and it was a few streets away. When I pay for a central London hotel, I am paying for location. I expect a spartan experience in my price bracket but CLEAN is non-negotiable and this was not clean. Seedy edging onto disrepair -- holes in the tile floors (tile floors! thank goodness it was mostly deserted because every sound reverberated; on my last night it sounded like Godzilla had the room above me). The WiFi -- another essential at this point -- went out and was not restored by the time I left. The staff seemed confused and completely new to the hotel business. Do not recommend.

The building is unarguably tired and has fallen into a state of disrepair. We stayed in a basement room. The room was dirty and largely damaged. Holes in the wall, a dented radiator that didn’t heat the room at all, a wardrobe door that was broken in multiple places and had lost the ability to slide close, ceiling panels broken and lifted, and a bathroom with no heating, no hot water and minimal water pressure. I don’t usually mind staying in budget rooms where facilities are lacking but this was an unbearable stay, thankfully for just one night. The lack of a kettle and fridge was subideal. We were provided with a television, but being in a basement room meant that it wasn’t able to pick up any channels, rendering it futile. I would absolutely avoid staying here at all costs.
The wiring in the room was questionable at best and the sockets available were nowhere near the bed. You get to choose whether to charge your phone and risk freezing to death without the use of the radiator.
Hole in the wall. Loved the attempted repair with what appeared to be paper and nails?
Cracks in the wall next to the only mirror provided. Awful trying to get ready in here for an event the same evening.

Very budget hotel but excellent location and good value for money. Yes hotel is dated and very minimal but it felt pretty clean, friendly staff and had everything we needed. For the price this was very good value. Showers were super basic, mattress very old and dated but overall we had an okay stay.

Didn't even make it to this hotel. Was told "issue with room I send you to my better hotel". I dread to think what this one was like based off the "better!!" Missing carpet, small tv with no remote, 1 out of 3 beds broken, stained bedding, 1 light not working, the list goes on and on....

Staff were helpful, but room was very basic. It was too warm, the beds weren't comfy, the TV had neither any input connected nor a remote control, the door instructions said to "Dial 0 in an emergency" but there was no phone to do so. The toilet and shower rooms were separate rooms down the corridor and shared with other rooms. Toilet room didn't have a sink, but room did, so you'd go to the toilet and then come back to your bedroom to wash your hands. There were only one double plug socket in our triple-bed room, and it was not near any of the beds. Hotel had WiFi but we were on the top floor and the WiFi didn't reach that far (not that we were given the password for it anyway). My phone got pretty poor reception inside the room, as well, so once inside the room we were kind of out of touch with the world. One of the panes of glass in the window was cracked. Think of this as more of a hostel than a hotel, and you might be alright. Location was decent (5 mins from British Museum). Staff were friendly and helpful (e.g. lent us an umbrella to go wandering). We paid 105 pounds for one night (a Saturday in December 2025) for the basic 'twin' room that was actually a triple room. Oh, and when we arrived at 3.05pm (check-in time was supposed to be 3pm) the room wasn't ready, so we went away and came back around 4.40pm and the room STILL wasn't ready, leaving us to wait in Reception until it was finally done. Gets a second star for the location and helpful staff.
