Not really smart being a sauna inside!

Advantages: Cheap, provides privacy curtains on the bunkbeds
Disadvantages: Very warm inside like a sauna! Poor customer services! Expensive storage

Smart Russell Square This place is around the corner from Russell Square, barely 100 yards walk. When approaching it, it isn't obvious that this is a hostel as it has NHS signs everywhere which made us panic in case we were walking into the wrong house and end up embarrassing ourselves! Luckily, it was the right place and finding the reception was simple. The check-in was very easy; we showed them our E-tickets with 2 reserved beds and paid £10 each ...
...an utter bargain! They handed us our linens for the duvet and pillow. I enquired about towels; they had towels for hire for £5. I was feeling a bit cheap and offered to use the dirty towels they had in the laundry basket! Luckily, the lady offered to sneak in an extra bed linen that I could use to dry myself! We had to pay £10 each a security fee for damage or loss of linens so that if you turn up in the morning, and someone has stolen your linen, ...

Review of Smart Russell Square, London

A cheap hostel in London

Advantages: cheap rooms in london, good location
Disadvantages: loud, staff not friendly

We stayed at the Clink Hostel for 3 nights in May. Rooms are very reasonable priced and you have a choice between -single/double/triple en suite by room -dorms from 4 to 16 beds both en suite or not Booking is possible on www.clinkhostel.com and hostelworld.com - I heard it's also possible to do it via phone. Booking was quick and easy. The location close to Kings Cross is great. Within Zone 1/2 on the underground it is easily reachable. At King's ...
...Metropolitan Line (Dark Red), Circle Line (Yellow) and Hammersmith and City Line (Pink). From the tube station to the hostel it's a 5min walk. WE found the hostel easy to find and the location quite central. The quick connection between King's Cross and Camden town was a huge plus point. Plus points: -free walking tour of the city. Everyday at 10am in English and Spanish -free breakfast (continental) -free bed linen - towels have to be paid for -lockers ...

Review of Clink Hostel, London

1811 Georgian Town House is a truly wonderful English experience

Advantages: Excellent customer service
Disadvantages: NONE!

...experience of staying (twice) at the very charming 1811 Georgian Town house in Northampton Square, Central London, I would definately recommend it for excellent value for money. The hostess is charming and totally dedicated to ensuring customers have a wonderful experience of staying at the Town house. I was in Central London but away from the hustle and bustle of the City but still close enough to the hub of activities (both socially and professionally). ...
...satisfying individual needs. On the whole, I found my experience very relaxing, safe and thoroughly enjoyable. It certainly took the stress out of visiting the ever busy City of London! I would rate the !811 Town House ten out of ten. Well deserved and please do keep it up! ...

Review of The 1811 Georgian Town House Northampton Square, London

Not worth the 5 but a GOOD 4 star property. Marriott Canary Wharf

Advantages: Good location. Reputable brand. Delivers a good hotel experience
Disadvantages: Could be better. Needs to look to wow the customer.

...look out for a suitable London hotel. This was before I had discovered the InterContinental, which is now my preferred London property, so off I went online to find a suitable hotel. After much searching I found a good deal in Canary Wharf at the Marriott. I had never been to Canary Wharf before and was excited to stay somewhere different. The hotel had favourable rates compared to the city centre and the facilities looked good. After much surfing ...
...are definitely better hotels in London and Canary Wharf, but to be fair the Marriott did deliver, it just didn’t WOW me. I would look at other hotels in the city or the Four Seasons Canary Wharf if you really want a true five star property, if you aren’t that bothered then the Marriott will cover your needs for sure! Stay completed December 2007. Booked at www.marriott.com Enjoy your stay! ...

Review of London Marriott West India Quay, London

A room in Romford

Advantages: clean, very cheap, usually friendly employees, good shops close by, easy travelling to C. London
Disadvantages: no luggage room, no parking

...left to book. I suggested Travelodge Romford because I had been there before. Back then I was satisfied with the hotel and I also quite like Romford as a city. Getting to London We took the Eurolines bus at four in the afternoon and were to arrive in London early next day. The ride was incredibly long as other travellers were picked up from places in Beglium and France, but in the end we arrived at the Victoria coach station at six in the morning, ...
...go to a hotel like Travelodge for the fancy interior. The room was very clean and tidy, which is the most important thing. We had a double bed, a desk and a television. On the table there was tray with tea making facilities, including two cups, teaspoons, little sachets of instant coffee and two teabags. Sugar and coffee creamer were also there. The bathroom was absolutely fine as well. The shower was good and the water pressure was absolutely fine, ...
