Nunca más.
Pros:

Buena ubicación, pero

Cons:

Espacio de la habitación, escalera pequeñísima para subir 3 pisos, el calor en esta época es insoportable, pedimos un ventilador y nos dijeron “open de window” 35 grados con la ventana abierta? No hablan otro idioma y poco les interesa comunicarse. Realmente para no volver jamás. Se nos cayó algo debajo de la cama, cuando la levanté había mugre de la que pidan, de años de no aspirar esa alfombra. Hasta un calzoncillo usado! Decepcionante

Absolutely awful ! not even worth 1 star
Pros:

Genuinely the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Had I seen the TripAdvisor reviews before booking I definitely would not have stayed here. Unfortunately the reviews on hotels.com was far from what is said on here!

From the moment we arrived, the experience was disappointing. The person checking us in showed absolutely no hospitality and was using their phone while checking us in, which made us feel completely unwelcome.

The room was disgusting and in desperate need of a complete revamp. The beds were absolutely appalling and looked like they belonged in the bin. The mattresses were in such poor condition with springs poking out through the top and sides. It was extremely uncomfortable and quite frankly unacceptable. Dirty bedding!!!

What made the experience even worse was the lack of concern from the staff member. When we raised our concerns the person working didn’t seem the slightest bit interested or bothered.

We stayed in Room 7, which was also incredibly noisy. We could hear the door opening and slamming every single time someone entered or left the building making it very difficult to get any proper sleep.

Great location but don't expect much else
Pros:

Great location. Walkable to the British Museum and lots of transportation options available. Loved the surrounding neighborhood.

Cons:

This is as basic as it gets. If what you are looking for is just a basic bed and your own bathroom and you don't care about anything else, then you will be fine with this place. Also keep in mind that the stairs are extremely narrow in case you have heavy or large luggage. I struggled with mine since there are no elevators. Check the weather, if it's too hot their rooms only have a small fan and it gets too stuffy and uncomfortable, even during the evenings.

Woeful
Pros:

We began on a positive note with the clean towels and laundry provided, albeit only one small bath towel each, no hand towel and no shower mat, which we appreciated. However, we did face several challenges during our stay. Our basement room (Family Room 1) didn’t have a lamp, which made it difficult to manage the lighting, especially since the curtains didn’t close properly.We found the room quite hot, and the fan was broken, so we had to improvise with a hairband to get it working. The shower room in the corner of our room was a tiny fiberglass cabin, as in a caravan—so small that it was quite uncomfortable to use. Additionally, we noticed cockroach entrapment devices under the radiator in our bedroom and along the corridors, which was a bit unsettling. One of the beds felt like a trampoline and didn’t provide a comfortable night’s sleep. The television didn’t work at all, and the Wi-Fi was very hit-and-miss. By 9:30 p.m., a motion-sensing light outside kept turning on and off, making it even harder to rest. Overall, while we did have some positives, these issues made our stay less comfortable. We hope this review helps future guests know what to expect.
I am 56 years old and have travelled extensively both in business and personally, I always appreciate effort for hotel rooms by staff, but I have this is by far the worst "hotel" I have ever stayed in. Avoid at all costs.

Small bathroom.
Pros:

It was room to sleep in and somewhere for our things to be kept saved.

Cons:

The view from the room and the size of the bathroom.

Not good
Pros:

The beds were comfortable

Cons:

It was dirty. There was no remote for the tv. The windows were open and we couldn’t shut them so it was really loud.
