The room was vile. The bed was filthy the windows had gaps and the wind was howling all night.... it was creepy. Wished I'd stayed at home and caught the train up to London in the morning ..never again

The location and price were great but the hostel itself was not. My floor had 2 bathrooms for 12 people - the light was missing in one and the toilet paper dispenser was broken in the other and there were no shelves to put your belongings on while changing. In my room there were no lockers and the window pane was broken causing the room to be really cold. They also initially refused to accept credit cards and gave me cash for returning my key, which I think is ridiculous since most travelers checking out of a hostel are probably about to leave the country. I pushed back and they took my credit card for both. My room was clean though and the bed was somewhat comfortable. And you get breakfast.

Stayed here on the cheap with a friend for a night.
The hotel is well placed for the Lyceum theatre and has plenty of restaurants, pubs and coffee shops.
It could do with a lick of paint but it’s cheap and central. It has an India restaurant with bin, we didn’t go to it but looked ok from the door.
We had a twin room which was a single bed and bunk bed with the bottom bunk being a double. The room was hot through the night. We was on the 4th floor and could hear the traffic outside. The room has a sink and a couple of plugs, no tv but does have a kettle and tea/coffee.
There are 7 rooms per floor which have 2 toilets, a room with 1 shower cubicle and a room with a bath in it between them.
Breakfast is cereal, toast/mini pancakes, fruit juice and tea/coffee.
Overall it did the job and we got a decent night sleep.

Just stayed here again (18th-22nd October).Room 47 this time.Bear in mind there are a lot of stairs up to the bedrooms. I stayed in a mixed 3 bed dorm.Not sure having mixed dorms with people who dont know each other is a brilliant idea.
My room was clean and kept pretty clean during my stay.I slept on the bed instead of the bunks ,it was fairly comfortable.Some of the fixtures were in dire need of a pain especially the wardrobe.
The showers were ok when i finally got the temperature right.Toilets were pretty clean but outside the toilets one light fitting had come away and was stuck with tape.however it had been disconnected.
You get a breakfast cereal,toast and tea/coffee.The toaster is very old but does the job.
The best point about it is how near to central London it is with bus stops right outside.
dont expect much more than basic and you wont feel disappointed.The clue is in the prices

This place is absurdly cheap for central London. No, it's not the most comfortable place in the world, but I stayed regularly for three nights a week while working nearby. Considering that usually you will pay at least £100 to stay in a London hotel this place is a godsend. I never had any problems other guests, it was generally just people wanting a night's sleep.
Breakfast is absolutely perfunctory - cereal, milk and toast, but welcome if you're in a rush. Not as if there aren't alternatives outside. Only one bathroom on most floors but never a problem with queues. The location is incredible, right on the Strand, interfacing with the historic Somerset House, minutes from St Pauls, Holborn, Trafalgar Square, Soho and the Southbank. The staff do their job well, it's relatively clean and safe.
When the current lease runs out the property owners will gut this place and turn it into a luxury hotel. Don't miss your chance to stay in it on the cheap!
