Hotel Details

Location

Set in the heart of London's West End, the property is a 2-minute walk from Shaftesbury Theatre and 5 minutes from the British Museum.
Within 10 minutes on foot you can reach Leicester Square, Tottenham Court Road, Holborn High Street, and three underground stations (Holborn, Tottenham Court Road, Covent Garden). The surrounding area is packed with restaurants, pubs, shops, and clubs, including Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club less than a 10-minute walk away. Many major attractions such as Covent Garden, Oxford Street, and the National Gallery are within easy walking distance. For airport access, Tottenham Court Road and Holborn stations provide direct connections to the Elizabeth line and Piccadilly line. The location is ideal for theatre-goers, sightseers, and anyone wanting to explore central London on foot.

Accommodation

Rooms are basic student-style accommodation with a hand basin, desk, wardrobe, and complimentary toiletries. Private or shared bathrooms are available.
Room types include single, twin, double, and en-suite options. Twin rooms have 2 single beds; en-suite rooms (refurbished in 2016) have laminate wood flooring, modern decor, and a private shower room. All rooms include a mirror, carpeted floor, heating, and tea and coffee facilities. Shared bathrooms are located on the same floor and are shared by approximately 5 to 8 rooms. Some rooms benefit from higher-floor positioning for reduced noise. Common concerns include dated furnishings, variable mattress firmness, and noise from heavy doors and corridors - particularly in rooms near communal kitchens or high-traffic areas. Rooms facing the street may also experience external noise. Storage space is generally adequate, and each room has a sink for basic washing. No air conditioning or balcony is available. Linens and towels are provided. Light sleepers may wish to bring earplugs.

Leisure

A billiards table is available on site. There is no pool, spa, or gym.
The only leisure facility is a billiard table located in a communal area. For swimming, fitness, or spa treatments, nearby commercial gyms and leisure centres are a short walk away, particularly around Covent Garden and Holborn. The property's central location puts London's theatre district, museums, and cultural attractions within easy walking distance, making it more suited to sightseeing than on-site relaxation.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi, lift, 24-hour reception, luggage storage, and vending machines are available. No parking or airport shuttle.
Complimentary Wi-Fi is accessible in all areas with good connectivity. The lift serves all floors. Luggage storage is free of charge and available before check-in and after check-out, secured in a manned storeroom. Vending machines provide drinks and snacks. A coin-operated laundry is located in the basement. The property has family rooms, facilities for disabled guests, and non-smoking throughout. Guests must create a Wi-Fi account on first connection. Housekeeping is provided but does not include daily towel or linen changes in all room types. The 24-hour reception can assist with special requests, though early or late check-in/out is not guaranteed. No airport shuttle or on-site parking is available. The property operates as a student residence during the academic term.
