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

Great location- British Museum to the left Oxford St to the right. Ok as a bed for the night but hotel probably hasnt had a facelift since 1965. Tv didnt work, turn on taps in the sink and watch water trickle out. Basic is as basic found.

Bed wasnt comfortable you could feel the springs through the mattress.

I’d stayed in this hotel before & found it ol, hence why I booked again. I’m not sure if management had changed or what but this time was very different. Firstly there was a note on the door to call which needed up being the wrong number. I then had to pay to store my luggage which wasn’t mentioned when booking & wasn’t something I had to do last time. Then my room had a huge crack in the window & the carpet had quite a few stains. I was able to move rooms to the top floor which was ok. Still lots of marks on the walls & the windows are very thin causing a lot of street noise to come through. Also, a group came running up the stairs waking me up at 1am & then continued for a while to run & bang in each others doors. They then were very loud when leaving again at 5am. I know this isn’t the staffs fault but you’d think people might be more respectful during late hours of then night when coming & going. The location is very good though & that was the main reason from my stay.

First the hotel was closed. When they finally answered one of the phone calls (forcing me to spend for roaming charges because US phone companies nickel and dime you) they said they moved me to another hotel [so this is a review of THANET HOTEL but I assume it's much the same]. At first he couldn't even tell me the address ('Just put it in google maps') but finally I guess he looked it up and it was a few streets away. When I pay for a central London hotel, I am paying for location. I expect a spartan experience in my price bracket but CLEAN is non-negotiable and this was not clean. Seedy edging onto disrepair -- holes in the tile floors (tile floors! thank goodness it was mostly deserted because every sound reverberated; on my last night it sounded like Godzilla had the room above me). The WiFi -- another essential at this point -- went out and was not restored by the time I left. The staff seemed confused and completely new to the hotel business. Do not recommend.

The building is unarguably tired and has fallen into a state of disrepair. We stayed in a basement room.
The room was dirty and largely damaged. Holes in the wall, a dented radiator that didn’t heat the room at all, a wardrobe door that was broken in multiple places and had lost the ability to slide close, ceiling panels broken and lifted, and a bathroom with no heating, no hot water and minimal water pressure. I don’t usually mind staying in budget rooms where facilities are lacking but this was an unbearable stay, thankfully for just one night. The lack of a kettle and fridge was subideal. We were provided with a television, but being in a basement room meant that it wasn’t able to pick up any channels, rendering it futile. I would absolutely avoid staying here at all costs.

Staff were helpful, but room was very basic.

It was too warm, the beds weren't comfy, the TV had neither any input connected nor a remote control, the door instructions said to "Dial 0 in an emergency" but there was no phone to do so.

The toilet and shower rooms were separate rooms down the corridor and shared with other rooms. Toilet room didn't have a sink, but room did, so you'd go to the toilet and then come back to your bedroom to wash your hands.

There were only one double plug socket in our triple-bed room, and it was not near any of the beds.

Hotel had WiFi but we were on the top floor and the WiFi didn't reach that far (not that we were given the password for it anyway). My phone got pretty poor reception inside the room, as well, so once inside the room we were kind of out of touch with the world.

One of the panes of glass in the window was cracked.

Think of this as more of a hostel than a hotel, and you might be alright.

Location was decent (5 mins from British Museum). Staff were friendly and helpful (e.g. lent us an umbrella to go wandering). We paid 105 pounds for one night (a Saturday in December 2025) for the basic 'twin' room that was actually a triple room.

Oh, and when we arrived at 3.05pm (check-in time was supposed to be 3pm) the room wasn't ready, so we went away and came back around 4.40pm and the room STILL wasn't ready, leaving us to wait in Reception until it was finally done.

Gets a second star for the location and helpful staff.

I’ve seen better hostels at 20$ / night. :/ sorry man… From the moment you step into the lobby, all the way to the bedroom… it smells strongly like some old lady’s damp and musky basement. The shower is barely lukewarm, and the showerhead gives a mere trickle, zero pressure. Same for the tap, lukewarm, just a trickle, into a sink which is completely clogged up. The bed is uncomfortable, you can feel the springs in your back, and it’s squeaks. Pillow is as thin as a pancake. The walls are made of paper. Everything creeks and squeaks. The air is hot and stuffy even if it’s 12°C outside, and the window doesn’t open enough to properly let a breeze in.

The only thing this hotel has going for it is location, in the middle of Bloomsbury. Inside it is very run down. The bed linen was clean thankfully, but the en-suite was grubby, hardly any water pressure from the taps. The single curtain at the window had a hook either end, and the ceiling and one of the walls had water stains, presumably from a leak above. Sorry Gresham, we won’t be back.

My husband and I travelled into London to see a show and not wanting to have to rush to get a train home decided to stay for the night.

Normally we book slightly more expensive hotels - in the 140-160 range with breakfast included but for this trip we decided to stay in a slightly less pricey hotel to cut costs.

The Gresham is in a fabulous location - no doubt about that. It’s perfectly situated for The West End and for many of the museums and galleries in central London.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Very warm and welcoming. The room was tired in terms of decor but that didn’t bother us at all - in fact it added a certain charm. It was also very clean.

The real issue for us were the mattresses which, although clean, were in terrible condition. Sagging on one side and every spring could be felt. The other issue was the noise - we were right by the road so there was traffic noise, music from cars ect all night but the first was noise from other guests.

We could hear every footstep above us, doors slamming, and at one point (about 3am) a group of very drunk guests started blaring music and having a sing song. Then at about 4 we heard ‘shenanigans’ thanks to a creaky upstairs bed.

We accept other people’s noises will sometimes be an issue when staying in hotels - however I had such a dreadful night’s sleep I probably won’t stay here again. I think it might be more suitable for a younger crowd who are out enjoying London nightlife.

Stay away from this place! It’s central and not expensive for London but it’s the worst place I’ve ever seen, to the extent that I had to leave due to the poor condition the room was in, dirty, extremely poorly maintained, paper-thin mattress and a stench of dampness that I thought was potentially dangerous for my health. It just didn’t feel right and I had to leave. My original room was not available because someone had broken the bed’ and they said that the new room in a completely different hotel and building was ‘an upgrade’. Funny if it wasn’t tragic. Hotels com refused to give me a refund even though I checked out within 5 mins. Terrible

Overnighter in July

First of all this was cheap for a central London location. The shared bathroom and toilet wasn't a problem as that's what I booked. The TV didn't work as the aerial cable didn't have a plug on it. I didn't complain I wasn't there to watch TV on they said there was WiFi in some public areas but anywhere near me but I had a phone signal so email essentials were taken care of. The room was tired as was the whole building the mattress needs changing and it sags so much it effected the way I walked and there was a smell which I think was the carpet. But I say again it was cheap in central London in July. Also I had a plug socket to charge phones etc which is not guaranteed these days. The Staff were ok not rude but not good.

Great location, much neglected

This was once a great boarding house in a prime location. But it has been neglected for years. I am sympathetic to businesses recovering after COVID, but there was no indication of any interest in improvement. The TVs were broken — mostly simple repairs— the WiFi didn’t work upstairs, the bathrooms were yucky, and the rugs needed replacement. Given all that, you would imagine they try to compensate, and one fellow was kind. But they wouldn’t even keep luggage, which every hotel I’ve stayed at does.

Does the job - no complaints

For circa £60 for one night for one person in the summer in the centre of London I honestly could not complain. Sure, the shared bathroom situation wasn't ideal, there's no AC or fan, no lift, stained floors, and I had someone's beard clippings on the hand soap in my room's personal sink BUT I had 3 mirrors in my room, various lights, tv, my bed was clean and well made, I got a fresh towel, men at reception were nice, and I had a personal sink which made up a bit for the shared bathroom. For price and location I'd stay here again for a night if I needed to - as a previous hostel traveller, there really wasn't anything unexpected for me to complain about. If you're staying here in the summer I'd recommend bringing a plug with multiple usb ports and bringing a portable usb fan to help with heat...and a long phone charger cord as the sole plug socket was far from my bed.

It’s a basic room with just a single bed and a shared bathroom. The hotel overall was pretty clean for the most part but some people staying there apparently didn’t know how to flush the toilet! 😂 The bed was very creaky and has probably seen better days so that could probably do with being updated. A refresh on the paint on the walls would be nice and the carpets are looking tired. But overall staff were friendly and accommodated me being able to stay an extra night. Only WIFI available in the lobby which is a shame but I knew that prior to booking. My 5G was a bit iffy when in the room but that’s probably more to do with my network than the hotel itself. I was a little worried reading some of the reviews but it’s fine for a few nights & the price I paid was reasonable. It’s walking distance to pretty much anywhere you’d want to go & has a good selection of shops and restaurants close by. is only about a 7 minute walk to Tottenham Court Road tube station. I went to the palladium and it only took me 15 minutes to walk. It seemed to be in a pretty safe area. I would stay here again.

Would have been nice to have some air conditioning since the room was very hot. Conveniently located close to euston station and tottenham court road station.
Floorboards a bit creaky, and the room could have been a bit cleaner. The front-desk staff were friendly.

Poorly maintained only had 1 curtain, cobwebs everywhere, toilet seat didn't fit, shower was temp wrong, no tea coffee facilities or even a plastic cup, gap under door you could hear everyone come and go. The only plus side was location so close to Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road underground. Would i stay again yes but only for location.

Missleading description on Hotels.com

The room was advertised wrong. The add stated room with bathroom. After clicking i got confirmation for shared bathroom room. Not OK!

Cheap and great location but not the nicest hotel.

This is a no thrills hotel but it was cheap and in a great location. 24 hr check in was also great as I booked the hotel very last minute at 11:30pm and checking in was no issue. The shared bathrooms did the job but were not the nicest or cleanest bathrooms. The room itself was nothing luxurious in the slightest and left a lot to be desired but it did the job. I can’t complain for the price as the price does rightly reflect the product I feel.

The Gresham is inexpensive and the room is basic. On a summer morning it matters that there are no curtains.
Nice staff.

Very basic budget hotel, great location, room spacious, staff friendly but overall not very clean, need some refurbishment as it's quite rundown.

Definitely ok for 1 night
