Summary: The window latch was nearly falling off so no security. The main door lock was loose nearly coming off the door. No bath/ shower mat - dangerous. TV remote batteries were dead. The room was small and very basic.

Summary: The room was in bad repair with a stained carpet and a broken curtain rail. The TV didn’t work despite asking for a remote control that didn’t materialise. The shared facilities were no better. This was a last minute booking and I wished I hadn’t bothered.

Summary: The only thing this hotel has going for it is location, in the middle of Bloomsbury. Inside it is very run down. The bed linen was clean thankfully, but the en-suite was grubby, hardly any water pressure from the taps. The single curtain at the window had a hook either end, and the ceiling and one of the walls had water stains, presumably from a leak above. Sorry Gresham, we won’t be back.

Summary: My husband and I travelled into London to see a show and not wanting to have to rush to get a train home decided to stay for the night.
Normally we book slightly more expensive hotels - in the 140-160 range with breakfast included but for this trip we decided to stay in a slightly less pricey hotel to cut costs.
The Gresham is in a fabulous location - no doubt about that. It’s perfectly situated for The West End and for many of the museums and galleries in central London.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Very warm and welcoming. The room was tired in terms of decor but that didn’t bother us at all - in fact it added a certain charm. It was also very clean.
The real issue for us were the mattresses which, although clean, were in terrible condition. Sagging on one side and every spring could be felt. The other issue was the noise - we were right by the road so there was traffic noise, music from cars ect all night but the first was noise from other guests.
We could hear every footstep above us, doors slamming, and at one point (about 3am) a group of very drunk guests started blaring music and having a sing song. Then at about 4 we heard ‘shenanigans’ thanks to a creaky upstairs bed.
We accept other people’s noises will sometimes be an issue when staying in hotels - however I had such a dreadful night’s sleep I probably won’t stay here again. I think it might be more suitable for a younger crowd who are out enjoying London nightlife.

Summary: Room 10 not great when entered when first got in room toilet smelt musty from last tenant had very tight bathroom&shower
curtains dirty and off the hooks. Stains on walls and cracks everywhere.
Damp stains and cobwebs near window.could not relocate us to another room and even reception agreed room not great.
Good location just not very clean in room.
Asked for tv Remote on many occasions said they bringing it never did and don’t think tv had aerial anyway. Shame they can’t update room as be very good place to stay otherwise and location

Summary: It's not expensive, and the linen was clean, but the rest of the impression was poor. Room nr 10 is worn down and in need of renovation.

Summary: Location, location, location... 5 minutes walk from Piccadilly Circus Tube Station. The staff were very friendly. The decor is tired, but the room/bed were clean and tidy. For the price and location this is a no brainer good place to stay if you are not fussy/ don't need frills... I was solo traveling. Perfect for the theatres....

Summary: The location is great, but the carpet is very dirty and unappealing. Given the low price, I only expect a clean carpet and bedding—nothing more. Hopeful they would invest some money in carpet cleaning or in new carpet.
