Room was dirty sheets were dirty needs a lick of paint no remote control for the tv very outdated not even going to mention the toilets
The staff here were so lovely that I almost don’t want to comment on the property- the room was filthy, there actually wasn’t someone on the desk the whole time, the photos on here are not of the inside of the property, there’s no hot water… but the bed was clean, it was actually really quiet and the staff I did see were really helpful… would have been brilliant for one night, was ok for two nights- really would have been impossible beyond that

Ideally placed for supporting family in Great Ormond Street Hospital, also very close to the British Museum.
Lots of shops and places for food near by.
Convenient hotel to get to near the British museum. The double room and bathroom was quite spacious. Check-in and check-out was very quick. There could have been amenities for coffee or toiletries.

to provide
cups can be provided
complimentary tea / coffee / milk bags - kettle
lavatories - shower gel / soap / shampoo can be provided
no hanger in room to hang clothes
Absolutely shocking on a whole different level. Torn carpets, stains on the wall, water didn’t run in the makeshift shower, no remote for the tv. I can only assume it was like Josef Fritzels basement. Horrendous place to rest. Wouldn’t go back if it was free.
