Fodor's Review:

This family-run Georgian row-house hotel is a handy option for those traveling on a budget—but don't expect many bells or whistles. Rooms are basic but attractive—the best are the little apartments (£££), which give you a bit more space to move around in and have a tiny kitchen. Downstairs, the small, paneled breakfast room is the kind of space real-estate agents would describe as "cozy." Rooms have sunny decor; some have floor-to-ceiling windows, and the ones in the back overlook the British Museum. Pros: double and triple rooms are spacious by London standards; handy for the museum and West End theaters. Cons: mattresses are quite thin, as are walls.

The hotel is centrally located on a busy street literally over the side wall of the British Museum (the walk to it is about 2 minutes, tops). It was about a 5 minute walk to the Tottenham Court Road tube stop (and Boots and some theater) and 10 minute walk to Holborn tube stop. I had a large single room with a queen bed for ?85 a night. This included a full English breakfast of cereal, yogurt, fruit, eggs your way, bacon, sausage, tomato/mushrooms, coffee/tea, toast and juice.

The room had two layers of windows, which kept the cold air and the street noise out sufficiently. The room was also sufficiently warm for an unusual cold snap the city was experieincing. I was hesitant about a room overlooking the street like that, but really didn’t hear the traffic at all at night, also did not hear any other guests other than when they came and left their rooms nearby.

The bathroom is small but very clean. I had no problems at all with either the shower, the hot water or the toilet as others have mentioned. The bed was new and comfortable and clean as well. There was secure wifi in the hotel that I think I would have had to pay for but I picked up the free wifi from the Radisson across the street no problem. TV in the room had about 5 channels. The hotel is secure, with a locking front door that only guests with keys can access.

There are no elevators but the staff helped me up and down from the second floor with my luggage, as well as out to the corner to meet my taxi when I left.

There are plenty of pubs and a Starbucks around the British Museum. I had lunch at The Plough, which is nearby, one day and it was really very good.

No complaints at all from me and I would return in a heartbeat.
