Pros:

Location is nice. The room was clean

Cons:

The room we got was on -1 floor, which is not clear from the pictures at all. Hence we did not see sunlight (well, technically you could see it, but it is not what health person understands under term “sunlight”) and the humidity was really high. Smell overall was fine, but sometimes you could “smell” the moisture. From my perspective it is not good value for money, although I understand that London is expensive city. I would suggest property owners to have one less room for stay in their hotel

Pros:

Secteur agréable. Des restaurants à proximité, si vous aimez indien le Yatri a tester.
Pratique en métro (station à proximité )ou sinon a pieds tout est possible.
Côté rue cela peut être embêtant pour les personnes sensibles au bruit, pas de double vitrage, ni de volet.
Petit déj copieux. Personnel discret mais disponible.
Chambre twin petite mais fonctionnelle, mériterait malgré tout un coup de jeune, décoration un peu défraîchie.

Cons:

Si vous avez des bagages, cela risque d'être compliqué. Dans la chambre twin pas de rangement juste des cintres, cela ne nous a pas embêté nous n'avions que des sacs a dos.
Comme petite chambre impossible de ranger quoique ce soit.

Quite enjoyable, hassle-free, quiet
Pros:

Location was excellent. Easy to get to by Tube and buses. Within short walking distance to the centre. Shops, restaurants, cafes in Tottenham Court Rd nearby (3 min walk)

Cons:

The decor of the room, but it's a matter of taste, I guess. To me it was a bit depressing and both the room and the bathroom might need repainting.

Tolle Lage, nettes Personal, schreckliche Zimmer.
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut und das Personal sind ist sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Für den gezahlten Preis hatten wir ein großes Doppelbett erwartet. Wir bekamen einen sehr kleinen Raum mit zwei kleinen Betten. Die Ausstattung im Raum war veraltet. Ein großer Spalt klaffte unter der Tür. Der Raum war abschüssig. Die Dusche roch moderig. Bei aller Liebe, so geht es nicht. Die Bilder des Hotels waren hochgradig irreführend.

Not sure I'd stay again!
Pros:

Good location for my purposes. Easily found. Easy access. The bathroom, although tiny, was well appointed.

Cons:

The room was very small and in need of redecoration. The walls were covered in scuff marks and dirt. A disposable coffee cup, still with coffee in (cold) had been left on the shelving unit. Television connection was poor.

Compact comfortable room
Pros:

Very compact room but it had everything I needed. Single rooms are all at the back of the house i.e. away from the noise of the road. Easy check-in. Good night's sleep. Not a hotel to 'hang out in' but if you're just looking for a clean comfortable bed for the night, then this definitely ticks those boxes.

Cons:

One of the blinds didn't work (or at least you couldn't get to the thread to roll it down). This wasn't a problem in the winter (dark mornings) but would be in the summer.
