For a one-night stay, it's not bad for the price you're paying. I stayed on the top level, and it was very noisy due to streetcars, and the showers were very small. Overall, it was a quick night.

The property's location is superb, but even considering it, the place is pricier than it should be, as the building is old and not particularly well maintained. The staff is friendly and tries to be helpful, but the bathrooms collapsed during our stay, and we had to move to another hotel.

This hotel is located in a very location close to The Strand and theatre district. Whilst it is old, there is lots of steps and maybe some of the areas have seen better days for the price you cannot fault it. I have stayed here a couple of times now and I would again. I sleep well when im away but if you are distrubed by people chatting, thin walls and doors being banged this probably isn't the place for you. Im shocked people complain though about this hotel considering its location and value for money.

HOSTEL - NOT a hotel. No amenities. No WiFi except for in the tiny office area. Paper-thin walls, loud slamming doors on rooms, squeaking springs/hinges, etc. SO LOUD. Decaying shower and toilet rooms. Tiny rooms with no lamps and broken everything. No mattress covers (gross); lumpy, weird mattresses and pillows (only 1). Windows thin and barely functioning, curtains old and falling apart. Everything pretty unpleasant and cheap and old. IF you are fine with a funky youth hostel, and you can sleep through anything, then cool! If not, pay the extra £50 to stay elsewhere. I don’t know how they get away with being classified as a “2-star hotel”. The small Indian restaurant seems really popular = the only place that anyone is enjoying themselves in this building. Good thing: Hostel staff were nice.

Brilliant location, not perfect but cheap.
Although I accept that you get what you pay for there were a few things that I thought should be fixed. There was a tap in the bathroom that was broken, there were many tiles that were broken, a door to the bath that wouldn't open fully and made access difficult. As for the bedroom, I had a pillow that appeared to have a spot of blood on it. The rest of the stay was generally ok and just gave me a place to lay my head.
