The hotel's rooms may need renovation but offer a cozy atmosphere, though the overall outdated feel detracts from the experience. On the upside, you get what you pay for, but expect uncomfortable beds, old furniture, low water pressure, and no Wi-Fi. The location is perfect in the West End of London, with easy access to numerous attractions. However, the buzzing atmosphere of bars and restaurants may not suit all guests.

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. The room I was given faced the front of the hotel, had a broken window catch, and the TV only had one channel. The overall place looked outdated, especially beyond the reception area. The stairs were unsafe with holes in the carpet, the bathroom had wobbly tiles and lukewarm water, the lamp next to the bed didn't work, and the carpets were worn. The shower experience was terrible, and it's concerning that the same terrible room was given to another guest who also raised objections.
