Location is brilliant, very central. Place is the dirtiest hotel I’ve stayed in, flies as soon as you enter the building. Our bathroom was very mouldy. That being said, you get what you pay for and the staff were really friendly.

As a basic place to lay one's head (especially coming in from Soho in the early hours), it's adequate, well-placed and excellent value for the location. The bed was comfortable, and staff friendly and helpful. The facilities are basic and non-suite, and the shower and toilet in the corridor a bit pokey. The basin in my room had a very low-pressure water supply, but just about adequate to clean the teeth. I'd certainly use it as a base again, though at my age (and especially after a night of jazz and caipirinhas), I maybe should pay a bit more for en suite next time!
