“Location is a definite plus, steps from the British Museum and a short walk to St. Pancras; I noted that the Piccadilly Line access makes getting around London simple. Rooms are basic, clean, and some have private bathrooms, but be aware that some past guests mention size can be an issue. A practical choice if you value location and affordability.”
