Location was perfect for walking distance to the theatre, reassurance and shops. The room was clean & spacious. The only issue was the room was on the top floor and the stairs were very steep & narrow. Something I should have checked with prior to booking.

Love the location. Near transport and lots of restaurants.
The hotel itself was pretty basic. The room was tiny and not the cleanest.
Good for a short term stay if you just need a bed for the night.

The staff was friendly and was not hesitate to provide additional bath towels and coffee cups when being asked. The room we stayed was too small.

You get what you pay for, but there's really nothing wrong with it. Clean and functional. Bed is really firm and uncomfortable though

I would recommend! It was super close to the train station and the 24 bus which takes you to the big ben and soho. The room was small and not in super clean condition but it was definitely worth the cost. Room has a fridge which was super nice and is right around the corner of a grocery store and lots of restaurants!

Good value for a hotel right by Victoria.
I thought this was a very reasonably priced hotel considering it is literally 5 mins walk from Victoria! Room was fine - memory foam mattress meant a good night's sleep. Shower was nice and powerful, there was a fridge and a tv so overall I was happy.
Only very slight thing was there didn't seem to be a remote for the tv but that was a minor thing.

Run-down, basic, no frills. Managed to have a shower during one of my three attempts, the rest of the time there was no hot water. OK for a couple of days, wouldn’t stay longer. Great location.
