This was my second stsy at the St. Giles Hotel. Both trips for pleasure. I had already read reviews stating that the rooms at the St. Giles were small. Therefore, I knew what to expect. The rooms can feel a little claustrophobic, but there is space to put clothes in built in wardrobes. The bathroom is again extremely small with shower, sink and toilet. The roms are clean and beds freshly laundered daily. (We had a 3 night stay). The hotel does not have alot of leisure facilities. At the back of it there is the Y.M.C.A., the hotel contains a bar pizzeria and there is a small lounge. The breakfast room is more than adequate as far as seating and cleanliness goes and the self service breakfast is very acceptable with plenty of choice. The times for breakfast take into account very early risers. They start serving at 6.30 a.m. on weekdays. Unfortunately most of the staff are from overseas and communication is sometimes a problem. Also the staff are not the most customer focused I have ever met. There is car park located under the hotel, but I would be wary of going down there late at night and also why take a car into the centre of London, when the train can take the strain. As for location, this is perfect and makes this hotel ideal for shopping and the Westend theatres. All within easy walking distance. Euston is so close , if you have very little baggage, its a 10 minute walk and not more than £5 in a taxi. Each time I have stayed I have booked through an American website " Hotelsrus.com" as they appear to give the best discounts and I haven't been dissappointed yet. Please bear in mind this is not a 4 or 5 star hotel, but for its location it provides excellent value for money.

You mention that it is not a 4 or 5 star hotel, but you don't say what star it actually is, also how much did you pay per night to stay there. You said you got a good rate but how much was that rate?
