4/10 Fair

Clean sheets and towels save the second star, but everything else is terrible.
Erik, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The mattress was extremely uncomfortable and the duvet was very thin, so it was quite cold.
Anne Moth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

room ok
Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Didn't even make it to this hotel. Was told "issue with room I send you to my better hotel". I dread to think what this one was like based off the "better!!" Missing carpet, small tv with no remote, 1 out of 3 beds broken, stained bedding, 1 light not working, the list goes on and on....
Hannah, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Really tired hotel. No hot water. Booked an en-suite but was given a shared bathroom. Requested a refund of the price difference but no response via Hotels chat facility.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location and the cheapest prices I could find by a large margin. The receptionist, Abhay gave an exceptional service and made some good reccomndations for things to do nearby

Location, location, location....!!!

Location, location, location... 5 minutes walk from Piccadilly Circus Tube Station. The staff were very friendly. The decor is tired, but the room/bed were clean and tidy. For the price and location this is a no brainer good place to stay if you are not fussy/ don't need frills... I was solo traveling. Perfect for the theatres....

Fack you for the is room it’s terrible i can’t take my dog in this house.
Basil, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It's not expensive, and the linen was clean, but the rest of the impression was poor. Room nr 10 is worn down and in need of renovation.
Trygve Kvalsund, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The only thing this hotel has going for it is location, in the middle of Bloomsbury. Inside it is very run down. The bed linen was clean thankfully, but the en-suite was grubby, hardly any water pressure from the taps. The single curtain at the window had a hook either end, and the ceiling and one of the walls had water stains, presumably from a leak above. Sorry Gresham, we won’t be back.
Nigel, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was in bad repair with a stained carpet and a broken curtain rail. The TV didn’t work despite asking for a remote control that didn’t materialise. The shared facilities were no better. This was a last minute booking and I wished I hadn’t bothered.
George, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

To be honest, you get what you pay for. This is the cheapest hotel in this area, the are is incredible, so overall good value for money. You get a bed, a toilet, and a towel, do not expect more and you’ll be fine.
Jaime Jose, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good option
Marco Antonio, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a budget hotel. Don’t expect anything flashy here. It is a solid place and I will book here again. I travel for work and like to keep my expenditures low. The Gresham Annex was perfectly acceptable for the price.
Andrea, 5-night trip

Lovely reception lady, was very helpful. Thank you
Alexander, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly Staff, Spacious rooms for travelling alone, shared bathrooms only downside 👍
oliver, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is within walking distance of King's Cross Station (although not perfect if you have a heavy suitcase). There are places nearby for food including a McDonalds. There was a wash basin in the room but there looked to be broken glass or something between the edge of the wash basin and the wall which had not been cleared away. The receptionist was friendly.
Keith, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best value hotel in Central London

Could do with a lick of paint and a new shower head but otherwise good value for money 2 mins away from Tottenham Court Road/Central Line. Stayed end of August when it was cooler. No aircon so could be very hot if staying in height of summer. But no problems for us. Nice clean sheets, towels, good water pressure and hot water.

8/10 Very good

Value room in the centre

Good basic room well positioned in central London. Not the most comfortable or clean but for a single room in central London for less than £50 it met my expectations and good value.
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The damp smell was unbearable . Live electrics on the walls.
Reece, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

The room bearer no resemblance to the picture on the website, it was a damp basement with furniture on the brink of collapse - like something from a developing country. It was so terrible we decided not to stay there. I asked for my money back. Both the hotel and Hotel.com have promised a reply. I have heard from neither in three weeks.
LM, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Carpets were dirty as hell, shared bathroom basins leaking, dirtiest shower curtains i have ever used.
Aditya, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is in a very convenient location near Tottenham Court Road station with many shops. The room was quite hot in the night. Mattress could have been a bit comfier but there was sufficient space for a single bed as a budget hotel location. Check-in and check-out processes were quick and easy.
