Very old and cheap rooms. Bad smells (from the walls?) and the toilets clog all the time! The accommodation is not professionally cleaned during years. You will find yellow limestone deposits from the person who used the room prior to you...
Sporadically, they do call in cleaners throughout the year.
Other than that, the accommodation is very closely situated to the LSE buildings, with only a 5 min stroll by foot to reach them!
They are very good but quite expensive (like all London), they are very comfortable, complete and clean
Very well appointed self-catering studios. Not huge but not hugely expensive either for the middle of London.
Amazingly located LSE student accommodation with all the basic facilities, and a welcoming warm staff.
Lived here for 9 months, the location is unbeatable, just a stone throw away from Covent Garden, the British Museum and LSE. Although the facilities may be a little bit old, maintenance staff are always friendly and so helpful! Receptionists are also so kind and considerable, I love them! Occasionally there are pizza night or little treats. A little bit pricey, but totally worth it!
Great student accommodation with great amenities - regular yoga classes
Nice studios - spacious and good for short term and long term stays
I can't recommend this studio at all. This is bad for health.
The laundry machines and dry machines are terribly bad. Dry machines don't work at all. So people staying at this accommodation cannot do wash and dry clothes. This is really bad for health.
In addition the air is smelly because of bad ventilation. Bathroom is so dirty.
Clean and well presented, functional but comfortable. Ideal for a few nights self-catering. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Extremely positive overnight stay, comfortable and clean room, perfectly located for the center
Heart of london location so can access all west end venues. Good for transport links to other parts of london. Clean comfortable safe. Will use again. Good value for money. My room had a kitchenette. !! Travelled as a single woman felt very safe.
Good place to stay in london. It is a student residence that works as a hotel out of season. All very clean Very friendly staff They clean the rooms every 2 days (more than enough). It has a small kitchen perfect to prepare breakfast and own bathroom. Nearby there is a very good and cheap supermarket (Sainsbury's) and several quiet pubs for a pint. Very well located, it is next to Covent Garden and Picadilly. I recommend it.
One of the worst residences I have ever stayed at for my entited college career. Staff is rude, forces their way through in your room sometimes without notice, absolutely no respect for your privacy, they treat you as if you don't matter. I aaked several times for prior notice before entering my room, but ..... here they qre banging on my door wanting to get in. please have respect for your money and avoid this unprofessional place.......... this is a nightmare!
Excellent location, simple accommodation, excessive heat in corridors and rooms
Excellent location. Very inexpensive if you book ahead. Friendly staff
Enjoyable stay although very basic rooms also very clean and comfortable as shown in the price, excellent place to stay whilst on a City Break
Great location for tourists, most attractions can be reached on foot. Rooms nice, clean, fully equipped kitchenettes. For this price the whole without charge, recommendable place :)
Friendly. Not too expensive. it's still student housing.
Ideal location drury Lane easy access to all the sights
Great place to stay. Near theatres and Covent Garden is a stone throw away.
Purchased an advanced booking at a very good discount for a 6-night stay this August (2015). Clean room, kitchen, and bathroom. Strong wifi. Sheets and towels changed everyday (although if they didn't, they probably could reduce their costs and pass that saving to guests.. maybe). Friendly staff.
Stayed here about a week in August 2011, as a tourist in London. Fantastic deal and a great location. Much better than staying in a hostel.
Very good place to visit London. Very central and much cheaper than the alternatives. The rooms are a good size.
Good location, reasonably priced. Uncomplicated check in and out. Fully equipped rooms. The only drawback I experienced was the bad WiFi. It disconnected every other 15 to 20 minutes where sometimes one needed to completely remove and reopen the access point in order to get online again.
Right. Good privacy Acceptable rooms in terms of size and equipment.
I searched for a central place, and I found it in this student residence. It belongs to the London school of economics, so when there are no students it can be booked for stays. 500 meters from covent garden, it has many nearby tube stations. Served as bars, bistros, even ethnic restaurants. The rooms are clean, quiet, with a kitchen and private bathroom.
Our stay here was fantastic! The location and price are unbeatable. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and had a small kitchen. I highly recommend booking at LSE!
Am I the only who suffered from hell hot air inside? I was not able to sleep until it cooled down to 25 around 2AM. Outsode it was around 17 that time. And that's how mid-September looked like... And there was no A/C or fan ...
The only good thing i can tell is the staff and locaion are great.
It's little bit old but okay
And they only have one hair dryer, which people keep it and didn't return to the reception. Bring your own hair dryer would be better.
Old and rundown rooms for LSE postgraduates. Found rotting food under kitchen cabinets and a ball of gunk in bathroom air duct. Amongst other things. Basin was full of black smelly mould
A great place to stay. Clean and basic accomm with kitchenette. Excellent location. Can be very hot in Summer
Unbeatable value for money, perfect location in Soho. Attention, the week end they do check in students, so you can not leave your luggage after check out
Friendly staff and good rooms. Stayed one night during summer vacation. The reception staff are friendly and helpful, the room was clean, the complimentary tea and coffee was a welcome touch and the small bars of soap and towels useful. I used a double studio room which wasn't quite as large as it looked from the website photo (wide angle lenses eh). The overall experience compared very favourably to a hotel and I would not hesitate to recommend it. The breakfast served just down the road at another LSE hall was great (cold continental style).
