Ideally placed for supporting family in Great Ormond Street Hospital, also very close to the British Museum.
Lots of shops and places for food near by.

Not recommended for family with children
Not recommended to any children to go there. The building is very old, smell horriblely and not feel safe or comfortable. Only thing we chosed to stay there over night, checked out at 4 am, because it is close to British Museum. It is not worth for £150 for one night.

However, there was a large crack in my bedroom door

Not in great condition. Mould in the bathroom, no light bulb in a lamp, the cupboards bolted down, and a very springy bed. But sticky and some ants. Great location so able to get out to London attractions quickly which was main reason for purchase. For a cheaper stay than other accommodation close by, but wouldn't book this for a luxury getaway that's for sure.

Ok
Stayed 2 nights. Rooms are ok, but mould in bathroom. The matress is too soft. Its not a place you go to spend time in the room only sleep. Location is good. Would find another place next time.
