It’s a basic room with just a single bed and a shared bathroom. The hotel overall was pretty clean for the most part but some people staying there apparently didn’t know how to flush the toilet! 😂 The bed was very creaky and has probably seen better days so that could probably do with being updated. A refresh on the paint on the walls would be nice and the carpets are looking tired. But overall staff were friendly and accommodated me being able to stay an extra night. Only WIFI available in the lobby which is a shame but I knew that prior to booking. My 5G was a bit iffy when in the room but that’s probably more to do with my network than the hotel itself. I was a little worried reading some of the reviews but it’s fine for a few nights & the price I paid was reasonable. It’s walking distance to pretty much anywhere you’d want to go & has a good selection of shops and restaurants close by. is only about a 7 minute walk to Tottenham Court Road tube station. I went to the palladium and it only took me 15 minutes to walk. It seemed to be in a pretty safe area. I would stay here again.

Would have been nice to have some air conditioning since the room was very hot. Conveniently located close to euston station and tottenham court road station. Floorboards a bit creaky, and the room could have been a bit cleaner. The front-desk staff were friendly.

Poorly maintained only had 1 curtain, cobwebs everywhere, toilet seat didn't fit, shower was temp wrong, no tea coffee facilities or even a plastic cup, gap under door you could hear everyone come and go. The only plus side was location so close to Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road underground. Would i stay again yes but only for location.
Very thin shower bathroom
Seat did not fit

Cheap and great location but not the nicest hotel.

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.

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

Fine for a Budget Break

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.

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.

Basic and economical

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.

We checked in and checked out 2 hours later after we found a much better hotel. The total money was forefeit but it was good for ourselves. The hotel is not liveable and it is simply horrible plus terrible. We should ask the homeless people to live inside for two nights instead of in the cold streets.

Beautiful entrance, deceiving interior

The shower drain had no protection, several rats can come out of there the noise from the bathroom exhaust fan sounded like a tractor I paid for a room with a double bed and the receptionist said that they only had one with two single beds, so she said that I could check out at 12pm. the two mattresses looked like a rusty trampoline
