Hallam Hotel

I have stayed in hotels all over the world and never stayed in such a run down poorly kept dirty hotel ever.There was no attempt to keep it clean or has even clean sheets on the bed. The room stank of drains which came from the toilet. They had tried to mask the smell with air freshener but without luck. All i ask for is a clean room and bed, no frills when you pay £60 PN, is that too much to ask for?
I didn't have a shower as the mold growing out of the shower was too much and the door to the bathroom didn't even open correctly. The furniture in the room was falling to bits, sheets on the bed had stains, the radiator had been splashed with something i don't even know what I could call it. The carpet was too old, everything was bodged, electrics didn't look too safe either. I didn't have the breakfast as if it was as same as the rooms I couldn't risk it. Avoid at all costs I would rather sleep rough, all I mention I have the photos to rove it too.

Small hotel/guest house just off Great Portland Street. Convenient/central and good for my purpose. No real complaints and you can pay more for alot less in this part of town.

Clean and tatsty

Stayed at the Hallam after seeing Les Mis with my fiancée, it was a short and easy twenty min walk to the theatre district and a fiver cab ride back. Our experience was very pleasant; it was warm (on one of the coldest nights of the year) clean, friendly and had a great view of the BT tower! Also the doors stay open 24 hrs which was useful. In the morning the breakfast arrived quickly and was very hearty; setting us up for a day of sightseeing. I would definitely recommend.

Great location and can't complain

Always nervous about staying in places a lot cheaper than anything else around but if you want a bed for the night in a great location then look no further. We didn't have a cooked breakfast but other people in the Hotel were and the plates looked like they were getting eaten.
Don't expect anything other than a standard bed with sink shower and toilet and you'll be happy.

Four nights at the Hallam

I guess when you are paying very little for a Hotel you cannot expect much. The first room i was put into was the size of a cupboard and the the little table next to the but was tatty and the little nails sticking out of it tore my stockings. i could not even open my suitcase. I felt like Harry Potter living under the staircase. I also had no hot water so my first shower was cold. Cold showers in winter are not great. I was then moved into a much bigger room and it had hot water at least. the toothpaste or soap stains in the basin were still lingering and for some reason there were two very long rolled electric leads under the dresser table. The hotel staff do not help you with luggage.The hotel would do better with friendlier staff especially for people traveling alone. i definitely will not be going there again and will not be recommending it to anyone. I did only pay 276 Pounds for 4 nights though so it is to be expected. What i did like about this Hotel is that it is close to Oxford and Regent street.

Budget stay in the West End

Hotel has no pretensions; it is a cheap side-street bed and breakfast that is warm, comfortable and quiet. For less than 70 quid a night it would be churlish to be critical; my only real negative comment would be that the carpet really has to go- it has been there too long. Good breakfast, served quickly and without fuss. I will go back when on my own, but I know that my wife would not be keen so its back to the Grafton when she's with me!

Shabby but good value for money

I started out in a cabin room, which is so tiny I don't recommend it unless you just need a place to crash. I was going to grin and bear it, but since the hotel wasn't full, the receptionist decided to offer me a larger single room anyway, and I'm glad she did, as I ended up having to do some work there. The hotel is shabby, but I found the room clean and the bed very comfortable, and got a couple of good nights' sleep. The cooked English breakfast is good, the wi-fi relatively cheap and reliable, and considering the reasonable price and very central location, I have no complaints. If you want everything crisp and shiny and just decorated, this hotel isn't for you, but if you're not fussy it's a very good deal.

Excellent value for money

"This hotel is excellent and I will certainly be looking to stay there next time I visit London. The room had everything I required at a VERY reasonable price. The hotel was clean and the staff were really helpful and friendly. I was even able to get a vegetarian, cooked-breakfast (beans, tomato, mushrooms and egg on toast) with as much coffe, orange juice and toast and preserves as required (all included in room price), and served to the table (not that awful 'buffet style - help yourself' that you often find in cheap hotels.
The situation of this hotel is perfect for central London - just 5 minutues walk from Oxford Circus and therefore the tube to anywhere!
I cannot praise it highly enough - I didn't think such bargains were still available.
One very happy customer!"
