6/10 Good

Room was not ready for check in, even though we arrived almost an hour later than what i signed up for. The bed was horrible, and truly painful sleeping in. Room was nice and light, quiet, nice area and not far from shopping street or tube Station.

Does exactly what it says on the tin - it is basic but well located and perfect for short stays where it is best to be in Central London.

8/10 Very good

Context matters a great deal. A positive review of the Gresham does not mean this is the accommodation for everyone. This is not a fancy hotel. This is not a particularly comfortable hotel. This a definitely not an hotel for anyone with mobility issues or someone who thinks sharing a bathroom with other guests is a non-starter. But the Gresham worked for my needs. I simply needed a place to sleep for one night during a quick trip to London. I arrived late and left early. The reception was friendly. The room had a shiny new floor. The in-room sink was clean. The staff thoughtfully put us on a floor with no other guests, so I didn't really have to share the bathroom with anyone. I also liked the charming Bloomsbury Street location. So this hotel is fine for someone who thinks of their accommodation a simple, clean place to sleep. On that level, the Gresham staff exceeds fully.

The staff was nice, great location!! bed was decent, room a bit shabby and too many steps (51!). But I booked it because it was really cheap, and it worked out ok for me.

Very budget hotel but excellent location and good value for money. Yes hotel is dated and very minimal but it felt pretty clean, friendly staff and had everything we needed. For the price this was very good value. Showers were super basic, mattress very old and dated but overall we had an okay stay.

It’s a cheap room in central London within walking distance to all the landmarks. You pay 4 times the price everywhere else. If it’s somewhere to just sleep you’ve chose the right place x

The staff at this venue were lovely and the bed was comfortable. However, the shower had no hot water or tepid water, every shower was freezing cold and I had the opposite problem with the tap in my room, there was no cold water only hot. There was a tv in my room but no remote so I wasn’t able to use this and there was no wifi that I could find. The location was excellent and allowed me access to everything I needed access to. Overall, this hotel is great so long as you aren’t spending a lot of time there and don’t mind only having two extremes of water temperature.

Staff friendly and courteous. Room clean but in poor condition. Toilet seat way too small for the pedestal (it was fixed - not loose! See photo). Light above bed not working. No fan to cool room. Partially open window not adjustable (extreme hot weather). Bed very uncomfortable. The only power outlet was for the tv, high up on the wall. No outlets at “normal” level. I was present in reception when another guest came down to complain about their accommodation.

Night staff very helpful, even carried my suitcase to the first floor … I am getting old, he was great
Verified review

No kettle or tea/coffee in room. 1st floor is very noisy being so close to the street, have to keep curtains closed as double decker buses can see through! Walls are a little thin and could hear the neighbours next door during the night. Everything else was comfy and cozy, perfect for the 2 night stay I had and super close to Tottenham court road and other shopping areas. Would recommend if you need something basic and comfortable but don't expect the ritz!

Staff was very friendly and helpful but hotel is dirty , toilets were not flushing, light switch was missing....I know its a cheap hotel and I didn't expect any miracles but I expected atleast a clean room.
Verified review

Booked this hotel purely for its central location and for the price I paid I cannot complain. Yes, it's shabby, the decor is dated and the less said about the shared facilities the better. However, staff at reception were friendly, sink in the room and bedlinen was clean. Bring earplugs, there's a generator at the back of the property that runs all night.

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.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Location and price are excellent. Staircase is dirty. Building is old. Cracks on the walls everywhere. Needs proper refurbishment. They don't even bother to clean the window. Bed quality is poor. A bit of oil on door hinges is not costly but helps you not to wake up the whole neighborhood by opening the bathroom door. Luckily we arrived late for sleeping only and I couldn't wait to get out earliest in the morning

The location is great, but the carpet is very dirty and unappealing. Given the low price, I only expect a clean carpet and bedding—nothing more. Hopeful they would invest some money in carpet cleaning or in new carpet.
