Disappointing
I don't think we'll be staying here again. Negatives: there were some issues with the bathroom – the hot tap in the sink had zero pressure so you had to turn the tap several times to get a weak stream of water. There was an unhygienic shower curtain in the bath which clung to you while you were trying to have a shower. I'm surprised they didn't think to install a shower screen. We could constantly hear the people next door or upstairs as the walls didn't seem very thick. On another note in the entire room there were only two power points, one of which was used by the kettle. This meant charging phones and laptops etc. was very difficult. Positives: the breakfast was quite good with a hot buffet selection and the usual pastries, toast and cheeses and ham.

Shabby and old
Really shabby hotel, shower barely worked and couldn’t plug a lap top in to charge as socket position was so low. I tried to report the issue but the queue at reception was so long I had to leave. Window in room was old and had mould.

OK, once in 30 years is about right.
Haven't stayed here since 1996 on a Uni Field Trip, felt like an appropriate amount of time. It's OK, good location, bed was comfy and the room was clean. Decor is 1990s (not sure it changed since I was there last), breakfast wasn't bad, but field kitchen standard. Check-in was atrocious, we were all guided into lines which then got served faster than those of us who had queued for 30 minutes (this is the UK, we DO queuing here), which was frustrating. Staff were friendly though, despite angry guests waiting for their rooms.

Pleasantly Surprised
This hotel exceeded my expectations. It was in a great location! The room was quiet, comfortable, and clean. The customer service was top notch as every staff person we encountered was helpful. I will definitely stay here again because we had such an enjoyable experience.

Great hotel in a good location.
Hotel and staff are lovely and helpful. Rooms clean and spacious. Lovely shower. Only downside was that then room looked out to a loud courtyard and the room was boiling meaning I couldn’t open the window as it disturbed my sleep. Which is why I did not give 5 stars. 5 minutes from the tube station and 20 minute walk to Covent Garden.
