Best Option

We chose the hotel last minute, due to a bad experience with the previous one. But the reality is that it was the best choice, the place has a great location, the room is comfortable and quiet, the staff is 24 hours and very friendly. The lounge always has tea or coffee and is spacious. The only thing to consider is maybe a little that there is no elevator, but we had no problem with our small suitcases. The hotel provides recommendations which we used for breakfast and it was a good choice as well, it is close to bus stops, subway and main train station. It made our stay in London very enjoyable, we will definitely come back.

Disliked: Amenities
It’s an old building with no air conditioning. If I was staying here with just by myself or with my husband it’s fine. The room was very tiny with a double bed and a twin bunk bed. With 4 people in there (2 adults, 2 teens) it was so very hot. Can’t open a window more than 2”. Fan going but with one outlet near the door it never cooled the room down. Also a tiny tv up in the corner that my husband got working. We booked thru Expedia and added on a night after with the hotel. The difference of that was £70. I asked for the Expedia rate that I got and was told the rates depend on the night. I paid so we could get into our room. I have asked for a refund of that as it’s ridiculous to pay that. Oh and our shower never drained so that was less pleasant as well. So with not one night good sleep and charged that extra amount was not great. The bedding and room was clean. Also being a family with luggage and no lift was tricky carrying suitcases up a flight of stairs. So we were thankful we were up only one floor. The only thing nice was the location is walkable to where you want to be in London. And we felt safe in the neighbourhood.

Very disappointing

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with St. Athans Hotel because our stay was truly disappointing. The room was musty, uncomfortably hot, and had no air conditioning. We had to leave the window open, but there were no screens, which led to us getting bitten by gnats at night. They provided us with a fan, but it was broken. When I asked for a replacement, the front desk staff told me they didn’t have any more and that I’d have to wait until another guest checked out. The sink in the room was tiny and clogged—after about three seconds of use, it would start to overflow. After five nights, I asked for fresh towels and toilet paper. The front desk attendant told me I’d have to wait until the towels were washed to get any clean ones. He said he’d bring up toilet paper, but never did, so I ended up buying some myself. The next morning, I asked another staff member for towels and was only given two, even though there were three of us in the room. The only positive I can mention is the location—it’s convenient. Beyond that, the hotel is poorly managed and uncomfortable. I strongly advise against booking here. And if you do, avoid Room #14—it appeared to be a converted storage room with beds thrown in.

My room was very small and I didn’t enjoy the shared bathroom experience. Room was clean. No fan so it was warm. Location is just okay. Somewhat noisy on the street so if we left the window open for the room to cool down the noise on the street kept us up.

Small, old, well situated

This is an old building, with excellent location close to British Museum, the Piccadilly line underground, and other attractions, reasonable price in relation to the city and season (July). I had a room with private bathroom, the bathroom very small and uncomfortable (it is a better option the shared bathroom, if you do not mind to share). They did not clean the room everyday, and some times bad odors came from toilette. I appreciate that there is always somebody at the reception.

Exceptional Budget Hotel for Travelers

Wonderful stay at this boutique budget hotel for backpackers and travelers of all sorts. We came to London to go to the Opera and the Hiroshige expo at the British Museum and both were in walking distance of the hotel. Euston Station is .5 miles away and the entire area has many shops, restaurants and green spaces to lie on the grass. The hotel has toilets and showers just off the staircase and this is nice so that you don't have to listen to your partner on the toilet in a small room. The toilets were always clean and showers had powerful, hot water. The windows opened so we had fresh air. The staff was friendly and has been run by the same family since 1964. If you're looking for a budget hotel in Bloomsbury, near the British Museum, the Royal Opera House, Soho and Euston, Saint Pancras and King's Cross stations, look no further. This is the place. I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Highly recommended.

This was exactly what we needed as a family of three. It was located within walking distance of Euston station, had many reasonably priced restaurants nearby, and a Tesco. The beds and washroom facilities were clean and comfortable. We felt safe with someone manning the door 24 hours. The only small downside was the outside noise (the room was on street level and we had to leave the window open for ventilation). The hotel itself was very quiet.

Property is in a very good location, very close to the tube and city center. However, that was the only nice thing about it. It was very hot and no A/C. Very difficult to get to the 4th floor with the suitcases and no elevator available. We had to share the bathroom with other rooms. We asked for a second fan because the room was extremely hot, but the staff said they didnt have a second fan. Then we asked again the next day and the staff found one and provided. Overall, our experience was not good and we would not recommend this hotel. Pay a little more and be comfortable in a nicer hotel. We made the mistake of trying to save money but it was not worth it.

We paid the same amount of money for the 11 days that we stayed here. Yet, they don't change our towels on a daily basis. In addition, the property is 200 year old. This means that it is old and squeaky. Make sure that you have strong arms to bring up and down any luggage over 24Kg because there is NO ELEVATOR. In the Summer, this place is HOT. There is no air conditioning.
