Summary: It is a cheap affordable hotel which for the price you expect it not to be perfect however it is just borderline with this hotel. Very old and worn out room, tv not working, lamp didn't work, couldn't open window and was on lower floor and very warm room. Staff were friendly and polite but bit slow on checking in. For 1 night it does the job but wouldn't want to stay longer.

Summary: For circa £60 for one night for one person in the summer in the centre of London I honestly could not complain. Sure, the shared bathroom situation wasn't ideal, there's no AC or fan, no lift, stained floors, and I had someone's beard clippings on the hand soap in my room's personal sink BUT I had 3 mirrors in my room, various lights, tv, my bed was clean and well made, I got a fresh towel, men at reception were nice, and I had a personal sink which made up a bit for the shared bathroom. For price and location I'd stay here again for a night if I needed to - as a previous hostel traveller, there really wasn't anything unexpected for me to complain about. If you're staying here in the summer I'd recommend bringing a plug with multiple usb ports and bringing a portable usb fan to help with heat...and a long phone charger cord as the sole plug socket was far from my bed.

Summary: This is a no thrills hotel but it was cheap and in a great location. 24 hr check in was also great as I booked the hotel very last minute at 11:30pm and checking in was no issue. The shared bathrooms did the job but were not the nicest or cleanest bathrooms. The room itself was nothing luxurious in the slightest and left a lot to be desired but it did the job. I can’t complain for the price as the price does rightly reflect the product I feel.

Summary: The Gresham is inexpensive and the room is basic. On a summer morning it matters that there are no curtains.
Nice staff.

Summary: Well it has to be said, much of the hotel needs a refurbishment. The reception area is fine as it is, but the guest rooms and bathrooms need updating. As it was a last-minute booking, I opted for a single room without bathroom so had to use the separate bathroom nextdoor. The room itself was adequate and the hotel in general very quiet. The most noise came from my very creaky bed frame, which combined with a slanting mattress, disturbed my sleep somewhat. As for the bathrooms, laminate flooring in a shower isn't the best idea, and the wood is on its way out. But the water for the shower was lovely and hot.
Overall, for a London break on a budget, the Gresham does the job. But it does need a touch-up.

Summary: The property is outdated, needs renovation and upgrades to modern facilities.
The carpet looks so old and dirty
Windows and windows seals were so dusty and dirty, rooms were so stuffy.
The property needs total upgrading.

Summary: I booked for one night. The position is excellent. The staff were helpful and pleasant.
The room was basic and a bit tired but fine for £50.

Summary: TV not working sceen faded to black. Radiator blasting out heat all night, did not sleep well. Bed was firm and clean. Power sockets were no where near desk so pretty useless. Wall lights were not working and floor boards were uneven.

Summary: My room in this centrally located hotel was clean and the check-in was easily done.
I regularly travel to London and I've previously stayed in this hotel before. I recommend this to solo short term travellers who just need a basic accommodation within the city's centre. For just a night I don't need any luxury, shared bathroom is ok and clean towels are always provided.
