Truly great location. Very close to one of the liveliest parts of town-lots of restaurants, pubs, etc. British museum around the corner....
As described, this is a pretty functional room with a shared bathroom. We had no problems with the shared space. The room we were in had 2 windows which opened directly onto the street with no security features that we could see other than keeping the windows closed. This may be of some concern to some travelers. Light sleepers should also know that there was also some noise from plumbing in the building but we easily obscured this with the fan provided in the room. There was virtually no noise from the street which was remarkable considering its proximity.
Check in and responses from Peter were extremely quick and efficient. If you are looking for a basic, inexpensive, no-frills London stay, this is an excellent choice.
