"I came here solo just to experience central London. The location was fantastic, but that's kind of the main positive. The dirty bedding was honestly just disrespectful, my pillow had a yellow stain and dust all over it, I went to reception and got it changed, the person came to my room with another pillow that as soon as he gave it to me he dashed, as I guess he didn't want me to notice this too had a stain on it with small hairs and dust all over it again. I went back out in the hallway to chase him but he had gone quick. Clearly they have a hygiene issue, the bedding had dust and small hairs all over as well but i patted it down enough I could tolerate sleeping in it. And was forced to sleep on an area of the pillow without stains and dust on it. I have done lots of solo travelling and have never had bedding as bad as this, the first pillow they put the dirty side facing down so you wouldn't notice, so they know their bedding looks dirty. It smelled clean enough but it's bad to give customers bedding with visible stains on regardless. Just overall the room was not clean at all, even the lampshade had stains all over it and the carpet was dirty, if you moved the bed an inch you could see piles of dust and bits of food (assumably) under the bed, for the amount you pay you would at least expect basic cleaning to be done to each room.
Hygiene and cleanliness aside, I hardly heard any noise from outside when the window was shut which was good, only noise was from the elevator that made a screeching sound now and then. Shower door also would come loose if not careful but easy to put back and the water pressure was excellent. I managed to sleep somewhat well in the end, bed was comfortable enough.
In conclusion I doubt I would go back, however it was the cheapest option for the location and this is probably why. If I ever did use this hotel again I would certainly bring my own pillow case and perhaps my own blanket. I could tolerate everything else besides the dirty bedding. I will be looking for an alternative in the same price range for when I next visit central London.
I stayed in room 331 for those curious."
