Had everything we needed for our single night stay, comfortable bed, teas/coffees etc. Location was close to British museum and easy 25 min walk to Covent Garden. Average rating mainly because it was a good middle of the road accommodation. Would use again.

Seems that the tube runs under the property so don’t hope for a sleep in. Can hear noise from other people in stairs and rooms. If you go out write down the code to the front door in case your phone is lost / stolen / dies on you. Cheap and convenient for a night stop

The room was small and basic but as per London standards. Bed was comfortable but no air-con, which normally in England isn't a problem but we visited on the hottest day in May, there was an old air blower tower but it didn't really do much. However, even with the windows open and being next to a restaurant it wasn't too noisy and we slept well after our long day out. It was perfect for our needs as simply a base of operations for central London. A quick walk to the tube, really lovely area with lots of nice cafes and a fabulous Mediterranean restaurant. The owner was very accommodating and let us drop our suitcase off early so we could go off and enjoy the sights before check-in. TV reception was spotty but again we weren't there for that. Price for the accommodation was definitely reasonable and i would recommend.
