The room was below the street level opposite to the kitchen, probably previously used as storage. It was excessively humid with strong smell of freshener. The excessively dirty window open on a small yard with disgusting smell and dirt. Next to sleeping in a public garden. The beds look old and the toilet did not function properly. The worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff were unhelpful and do not care. The photos and the reality are world apart. In the room there was no air-conditioner, just old noisy fan. Stay away. Bred and breakfast in most cases is better.

We had single rooms and they were extremely small, my bathroom was so small, looked as if it was a boat shower, that i could not shower in it. Had to use the one in a friend's room.
It was room 10.
Back courtyard was nice to sit in and have a beverage, beautiful treed area.

Check in was a breeze, staff were really helpful and the place is spotless. Location is great, just 5 min walk to Euston station (tube). Breakfast was good, had the continental and choice is basic but enough. My room was compact but to be fair I booked the single room so can't complain. The only thing is that my bed was really uncomfortable so didn't sleep well plus the street was noisy due to ambulance and noisy big engine cars.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Rooms are small, bit cramped if you’re sharing with someone.

Stayed on a warm June day and the room doesn’t have AC, only a ceiling fan, so room gets very warm without much respite.

Beds are standard doubles, so again, not a lot of space if you’re sharing a bed. Relatively clean, but the shower had quite a bit of mould.

Does the job for a brief overnight stay, but I’d recommend an alternative hotel if it’s the middle of summer.

For a moderately priced hotel near the centre of the city the Arosfa is lovely and I would recommend it and use again.
The room I was in (14) was small but fine for a single occupant. Loved the decor but it was tired and could do with some attention. Some fresh paint and check outlets are needed as not all were working and the signal for the tv was extremely poor. Was also hot being on top floor but on arrival there were 2 fans in the room and switched on ready for me. I also wasn’t able to get any cold water from the tap at all times. On 3 occasions (always morning) I had to run the tap for 20 minutes in order to get cold water for a drink.

The hotel is much older than expected even though you noticed the owner has been trying to maintain the best of its condition. My room is clean in general except the carpet with tones of marks. I am a thin woman but the toilet is literally tiny. I can't even close the door when I went to the toilet. The flush just keep refilling water after flushing. The noise is loud and long-lasting. Check-in staff is helpful. But if the breakfast staff could be more friendly and welcoming to customers I'm sure the travellers would have a better experience living in your hotel. Thank you for the hospitality after all.

A small, quiet hotel. The rooms are small, but it's a Victorian building. Our room overlooked the garden. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom has a massage shower—very nice after a tiring day. Toiletries are provided. There's a hot drinks corner. Plenty of storage space. It's a quiet and relaxing place to relax. The location is excellent—public transportation, attractions, and plenty of cafes and restaurants are nearby or within a short walk. Breakfast options include hot, sandwiches, and light options. All requests were taken into account. I recommend it.

The room was small but extremely charming. High level of aesthetic. I'm mildly uncomfortable with small spaces, but despite the narrow width of the room I never found the place uncomfortable. Initially I had some issues with getting some of the lights on, but when I asked – the girl came up and showed me how they worked. Overall, a very pleasant place and I'd definitely stay there again. I noticed that some rooms have more character than others. I was in #9. I also liked #7 where my friend stayed. Visually, they were interesting.

Single room was good. Very clean with a comfortable bed. But the bathroom was so tiny it was a challenge using it. The breakfast was good, although could have been hotter.

The hotel is within easy walking distance of both Euston station and also the Tottenham Court Rd station (where you can catch the Elizabeth line to Heathrow).I would stay here again, although not for more than one night because of the tiny bathroom

Dislikes: No elevator, only 1 room key and it was hard to use in the front door (needs WD40 or other lubricant sprayed in the lock to remedy this).

The shower needs updating. Bedding very clean and comfy. Breakfast very nice, and the staff that day were lovely. However the staff on arrival could have been more pleasant/accomadating.

We had asked via email for a first floor room as my husband is on oxygen. The response was , “thank you for letting us know” as there were no elevators. When we were told that the first floor was up 2 flights of stairs. When I asked I was told that was the first floor. When we got to the room, the carpet was old and stained, the window was open with no screen and the fan was on, and the roomed wreaked of cat urine. When I told the manager all she could say was, “ there have been no cats in that room.” My sister and family all agreed the odor was very unpleasant and smelled like cat urine. The bed was hard with very thin cheap pillows. The breakfast was wonderful, with pastries and English breakfast and the server was very nice. Location was close to buses and transportation.

A little gem of a find.

We were in London for a few days and needed somewhere central to stay. You could go for a chain but we wanted to give this place a try. Excellent decision.

Really lovely quiet part of the city. Easy to find and checkin was simple: we had a first floor room for a family of 4. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean. It had a sort of faded glory about it. Far nicer than a modern chain: the breakfast was excellent. Check out was easy.

For the location the price was really good. We will def go back when next in that part of town.

Arosfa Hotel in London feels like a bed & breakfast which we really loved! Our room on the ground floor looked into the courtyard and it was beautifully decorated. We were able to make a cup of coffee in the room before we went to breakfast which was fabulous! There is a buffet but also you can order to have your eggs and sausages cooked the way you like them. The hotel is just a few blocks from the metro and it was very easy to move around to see all the major attractions. I would definitely recommend the hotel to others! Our stay was for 2 nights.
